WFMW - carry-all bag (Car Edition)

I've always hated having a messy car. When I was in college it was pretty simple to keep it clean - I really only used it to get to church and the occasional tutoring job. Now that I have two kids and do lots of errands, it is a different story! There is just so much STUFF that ends up in the car! Lots of it can be corralled in the diaper bag, of course, but what to do with the extras?

My solution:



This bag goes with me whenever I'm off to do errands (assuming I remember it - when I forget I regret it!) When I come home, all the odds and ends get dumped into it - whether that be the day's mail, or trash, or sundry toys that were dropped on the floor, or library books, or our leftovers from lunch. It gets carried into the house along with the boys and the diaper bag, and I deal with the contents as soon as I walk in the door.

The result: we always begin and end with a clean car. :) Works for me!!
