Top 10 Things About my Car

the car

This is the 4th car new  which we bought since we got married.  Back then in 2008 we wanted to get an economical Japanese car to accommodate our growing family. We  decided on a seven seater so that the car could easily accommodate all the car seats that we may need in our car.

  1. It’s a Toyota and cost lesser to maintain then some fancy Eurpoean car.
  2. It’s a really cool shade of light green (Doggie boy’s favourite colour)
  3. It’s really economical and we can get about 450km on a full tank of 40L of petrol.
  4. It gets everyone where they want to be in the morning and saves me time/money having to fork out extra to arrange for school buses for the younger kids.
  5. The third row seats fold flat under the 2nd row so that it’s possible to stack in 3 kiddy bikes when we go out to the park.
  6. I like the flexibility that it gives me to bring the kids out to places to where I would like to bring them. It would be really chaotic to bring all of them out by public transport without anyone helping out.
  7. I like the fact that there are cup holders for each seat and a space to put my handbag next to me when I am driving.
  8. There are little pockets all around where you can place toys/books for the kids to keep them occupied in the car. ( No TV or handheld games are allowed while the car is in motion).
  9. It has sliding doors so it is easy to get the kids out even if we park in tight spots.
  10. My mom has the exact same car as mine but in a different colour.

How is your car like?

I'm a supermom

This is the latest series Supermom101 which  I share how I juggle my time between the kids, household chore and being a freelance writer. I give my tips on how it is possible for a mum to handle all these without any helpers and still have time for 1 to 1 with my kids, couple time with my hubby and  downtime for myself.

 

If you are here for the  visual stimulants feel free to check out my latest post  which can be found on the sidebar or take part in any current giveaways that are on the blog. I’m sure you would love some of the prizes that we have on offer.
