Organizing: Car Trunk

Well, while we're in the organizing mood - let's talk trunk of the car! This is one of those places that never seems big enough in my current stage of life. But, here is my attempt at trying to keep it orderly.

A metal basket on the left hold jumper cables, fix-a-flat, a shopping cart cover for little girls, bug spray, a towel, Snugli and various other items you may need in a car. On the other side of the stroller - we keep an old quilt for picnics or any other need and a bag of canvas totes for carrying groceries. Even a small space becomes even smaller when it is disorganized!

Even without kids the trunks of our cars are usually quite cluttered. You just never know what we'll find in there! I usually keep my shopping bags in one tote bag too; right now they are strewn all over. Thanks for the inspiration to do a 5 minute car trunk rescue today!

Hey Mary Ann! It is true that even five minutes will do wonders in this space! :)

Hey, we have the same stroller!
;-)
We carry so much in the trunk that my big stroller doesn't fit. I have a little bitty one in the trunk, a full sized EMT bag, folding crate and canvas bags for groceries, and a box of car stuff: antifreeze, window washer fluid, etc.
Some of it has got to go!! Although it is nice to know that I could have a baby by the side of the road and have all the proper medical tools to do it... ;-)

I really have liked this stroller - it is the only one we've ever tried and it fits in even a smaller trunk! Yes, you sound very prepared! It's hard to draw the line sometimes between prepared and cluttered isn't it?!
