Mom Car Must-Haves: Back to School Edition
I'm a black-SUV mom and with three kids we practically live out of the car most of the time – so here's how I stock my car so that I always have the last minute things my kids need!
Personal Products
THE go to, the OG hairbrush, just in a mini form. Easy and on the go!
My daughter has a habit of leaving the house with crazy hair – she also HAS to have her hair slicked back for gymnastics practice so I keep this handy!
Another last minute hair product for looking halfway put together and/or keeping her hair tidy for sports!
Also useful for tying things together in a pinch!
Also useful for tying things together in a pinch!
The original OG best hands down-- I will not leave the house without it. I keep one in my bathroom, one in my car, one in my kitchen, and one in my purse!
Olive and June are my absolute favorite press on nails! I keep an extra little bottle of glue in the car for quick touch ups and nails that pop off! I'm tough on my nails but I want to look put together so I make sure to have a back up plan!
For the inevitable scraped knee or paper cut that can only be made better with a bandaid!
School Products
If your kids are in school you WILL have to send in last minute everything – money for icecream, field trip permission forms, transportation changes, etc. Don't get caught with a naked piece of paper that your kid will lose!
Signing your kids field trip form while you're in the car rider drop off lane? Forgot to check off on their daily folder until you got to school? Not a problem. Do yourself a favor and buy the multipack and just keep them on hand!
Nothing handy to send their icecream quarters in? Couldn't be me, I have these in my center console!
keep one or two so you can write on the ziploc bags and/or label any of their school stuff!
Storage Solutions
It fits in the front console and I can grab it and go if I need to!
Car Products
Get the unstoppables scent to cover up your kids weird dirty feet smell, and the sippy cup of milk you lost under the seat, and the random trash you didn't even know they left in there?! Trust me on this rec.
It is so luxurious to me that no matter who is hanging out in my car I have a charger for them but I don't have wires and cables going everywhere all the time! I have smashed them in the car door before!
This is a must have for every car in my opinion – if you need to print out some general directions to keep with them I would do that as well. I can't tell you how many times I have either needed these for my own car, or been able to help a friend/cow...
