My cars are in dire need of a reorg. Another safety thought - I live in the South where it gets HOT HOT HOT and even HOTTER HOTTER HOTTER inside your car. Not sure if your hairspray is an aerosol can but in hot temps that thing could burst!! Just a thought to be careful what you plan to keep stashed in your car if you live in extreme climates! Love your blog! Very nice! My cars are in dire need of a reorg.

We just got back from vacation, and I cleaned and organized the van before we left. 2 bags of garbage and 2 laundry baskets of stuff - out! I forgot it was June's round-up. Can I still participate with the "after vacation" accumulation? shucks!

It never would have occurred to me to blog about vehicle organization. I might tackle that one someday soon. I have systems remarkably similar to yours, believe it or not (and I think you'll believe it!). I found a pack of 3 baskets at Wal-Mart for something less than $3 (maybe $2.79?) that are the perfect size to slide under the low van seats, for the kids to organize their toys. At one point, the system was, one basket per kid and each of the 3 was responsible for their own basket. That didn't last long. Now they're just a nice place to stash the toys. Love it!

I'm a bit behind reading my blogs. But let me just tell you I had this wild idea the other day to clean out my car. I came home dropped my cell phone and keys in the kitchen. Then ran for the vacuum to do my car. While outside vacuuming my kids starting crying because they couldn't get into the house. What? Yes, I was locked out of the house. Keys and phone inside as I mentioned before. Neighbors not home. Also couldn't remember my husband's cell number because everything is programmed into my phone. Luckily we have a lock box (the ones that realtors use when selling the house) on the door with the extra key. But again I was at a loss as for the pin number. I tried every number I thought it could be. It took me about an hour to remember the code and get into the house. Anyway, the moral is to always have a list of phone numbers both in the car and in the garage in case you get locked out. Man, I had no idea you were doing car cleaning.

(in photo #1). My car could use a good cleaning but it is pretty organized. Finally an area that won't require too much work LOL.

Yes first aid kids are definitely important aren't they. I have two stashed underneath the driver's seat. Sounds like a scary experience you went through, yikes!

What kind of van do you have? It looks like my Grand Caravan and I was wondering if 2 CDs would fit across the seats like that next to each other. I had another container there but recently pulled it out to go to the carwash and never put it back. One thing I recently fixed up and put in was a "trauma first aid kit" after an experience that you can read about on my blog. It's for an emergency where someone could be in a car accident - or as I experienced over Memorial Day weekend, a stabbing victim - and I need gloves and something absorbant for lots of blood. I got a first aid bag for free at Target last week with the purchase of 3 first aid items and I have surgical pads, 4X4 gauze and gloves. I can grab the bag fast as I run out to take care of someone. Yeah, I'm one of those who gets into the frey! :) Very nice! What kind of van do you have?
