I am just going to come right out and admit it. I love my minivan. I never thought that I would be a minivan mama, but here I am enjoying every minute of it.
I got my minivan the day my son and I came home from the hospital. After three months of bed rest and a pretty difficult pregnancy, my husband and I decided that I should get one to make life as comfortable as possible transitioning from one kid to two.
Yeah, yeah, I know some of you are thinking, an SUV is just as easy and has just as much room as a minivan. You are wrong. My minivan is so much easier than my husband's SUV. I never worry about packing too much. The kids aren't whining over who is touching who. It drives like a car, and I don't really care that I have turned into a cliche.
I used to never think that I would drive something so stereotypical. I was too hip to drive a minivan (people still use the word hip, right?). But, I can say that at this point in my life, I wouldn't want to drive anything else. I am sure that one of these days, after the kids are grown and gone, that I will love driving a cute little sports car or an SUV. But right now, I am going for convenience. I am at that point in my life where I don't give a rat's you know what about what other people think. I am content to live my life comfortably whether that means driving in my minivan, going around all day in my yoga pants, or throwing my hair up in a ponytail every morning.
As someone who used to be pretty concerned about my appearance, I have finally come to the realization that most people don't care what I look like or drive. And the ones who do don't really matter.
I love it. I still won't drive a mini van but that's just me (even with the 3 1/2 yr old and the twins who are now 21 months) lol. I applaud you for doing this blog. So awesome, cannot wait to read your posts in the future.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. What I love about minivan is the ample space it provides. It’s perfect for putting extra belongings, especially when you are on a road trip.
