Mom Ride

A few years ago I was in the market for a car. I wanted something economical and yet stylish for my single woman lifehood. I ended up with a Subaru Impreza. It was a fabulous choice for me at the time. Small and compact, great price for my budget and had some punch when driving. I settled in, ALONE, to my tiny car, just me my fancy flip flops and my purse, and was perfectly happy.

3 years later, a husband, a baby and some extra pounds, same flips flops, and this sweet little car is really not my style anymore. We just do not fit in this little punch of a car anymore. Nope. 1 diaper bag, 75 in case of emergency toys, the back up diaper bag, the stroller, the pack and play, the boppy, the Phoebe, a babe and two parents squished into a tiny smurf of a car and a Red Bull; it ain't pretty. Plus my lease is up. So we are in the market for a MOM RIDE in Pink Haired Momma ville.

Here are a couple of the top contenders at this point. I am looking for budget friendly, gigantic space, safety and then of course style. Thoughts?
Swagger Wagon
VW kid friendly

And yes they are VANS. YES I have become that woman. I am the Hot Pink haired lady who used to dance on bar tops shooting shots of tequila and having not a care in the world. I could never dream of being a VAN owner, but now, now many years later, many stretch marks later, many where is that damn paper towel roll i stuffed under the seat cause the baby just barfed again moments, I have become HER. I embrace this! Mommahood has taken over! My fat ass need a Van for all the back up emergency crap life totes around with you!

Oh ps Baby DIVA is 18 months old today! YAY!
