The Mini-Van

So I am going to get a minivan in the coming months or year. Brian has an SUV which has a third row but with three kids in car seats it is not ideal (climbing over seats or through the hatch to get to the third row). I am a practical person by nature and if I could stuff three kids in the back of my (paid off) accord I would but I can't. Plus it seems like Brian and I are always switching cars for reasons with kids and it is getting annoying because stuff gets left in one car and you need it but that car is gone...just annoying. I am ready to have my "own" car that is big enough for me and three kids and that I only drive (for the most part). Here comes my question (for all four of you readers)...over break we have been with various friends and family members and when they question us about cars with a third baby coming or we talk about it they make faces or make comments about me getting a minivan. Apparently I am about to become very UNCOOL. Truth be told I have never be cool and have pretty much fit into the uncool category for quite sometime now but apparently with the purchase of a minivan it is about to become official. For the first time ever I find myself wondering what other car would work for me. Then I get annoyed with myself. I am practical, I think a minivan would work perfectly...the doors slide open, there is room to move around and help kids, no one can touch each other, room for friends, etc. Plus I think the Honda Odyssey is cool (I am a Honda girl it is the only one I will get). So all four of my readers let me know what you think...

And don't worry I will not be getting those stickers on the back of our family...that is uncool!

You're right the stickers would definitely make you uncool. But I say get the van!

I say get the van! It's much more practical. And, I'm not gonna lie...I like the stickers!
