Winning Car Hacks for Moms. Turn your car into an oasis. Why didn’t I think of that ideas and car tips for travel and every day trips?!

Winning Car Hacks for Moms

If you are an on the go mother like me, the car probably feels like your second home. I feel as though I am constantly picking up, dropping off, taking here, and going there. Having an unkept space, just gives me anxiety. I hate trash around, I hate messes, and I hate clutter. In fact, using the word hate (which I hate) means I REALLY dislike it and I am always looking for hacks and tips to make my car space more family friendly and thus pleasing to me – the mom!

Take a look at these winning car hacks and tips for mom, we don’t think you will be disappointed!

First, going on a long car ride. Keep the kids entertained without using electronics and with the use of little to no supplies. Download these 12 games for the car. Set includes kids car games with instructions, conversation cards, road trip scavenger hunt and conversation cards for the Family.

Two things I keep in the front seat area are my Clorox Wipes and Paper Towels.

My two year old car look brand new. That’s saying a lot for it being the primary mode of transportation for five kids!

Both these Paper Towels and Clorox Disinfecting Wipes are on my Subscribe and Save list. Viva Paper Towels are the best, they are really soft and not rough on hands or the face.

This was us me. Traveling with three minors and praying I would have enough to do to distraction my littles. The anxiety in the trip was actually prior to the day of the flights. I was very high strung trying to figure out, no only what to pack for our trip, but what to pack for the actual day of travel. In an effort to help myself with travel, I came up with our post Airplane Activities for Kids. I do that sometimes. I research my own needs and end up putting something fun together for you guys. I consider it a service to us both – wink!

During my research, I saw a lot of ideas for toddlers but I also wanted an idea for kids of young elementary age. That is why I came up with this printable Airplane Bingo. There are a few ways to play – honestly mom, customize it to your family, but here were my ideas.

Play the boards as a Tic-Tac Toe. First to spot 3 items in a row/diagonal, wins!
Play the boards as a Bingo (filling in all 9 boxes). First to spot all 9 objects, wins!
