A Clean Car

It is time to clean out those mama-wagons.  In essence, your car is an extension of your home, especially for us mamas who rely on a daily car nap!  Above all reasons to get and keep your car clean is the sense of control you will have when stepping in a clean car.  If your home is a direct reflection of you as a person, your car is as well.  You don't want to feel dirty and cluttered every time you need to drive somewhere!

A clean car means clutter-free, vacuumed and dusted and washed-so this may be a multi-step challenge for you to plan in your week!  Some great tips I have found throughout the book include purchasing or picking up Free carpet squares to use as car mats.  This way you can just discard when they are dirty-who has time to shampoo a car rug, anyway??  Keep paper bags neatly in the side compartment of each door and have each family member fill them with the trash from your trip upon exiting the car.  This obviously won't work for your toddler and maybe not the hubs, but older kids will be great at helping with this daily upkeep!!
