Car traveling tip...

I'm sure most of you have figured this travel tip out-
I don't know why it took us 14 years and six kids later to learn how
AWESOME
a cup holder could be!
We had to divide food up for the little kids as we were driving
and had nothing to put it in until I saw the empty cup holders just calling out to me.
They are so handy!
#1-They are free
#2-They have 5 different compartments for fries, ketchup, sandwich, drink, etc.
#3-They are sturdy enough for even a two year old to handle.
#4-The big kids thought they were pretty cool and wanted one of their own.
AND
#4-You just toss them into the trash when they are done!

  1. Beki,
    great idea! We are a fam of 6 & don't live close to any of our extended family so we've gotten good at travelling with kids! what we do for in-car-meals is plastic shoe boxes! that way its all contained & even the drink can be spilt with no damage!! A quick wipe with a wet wipe & they are all stacked & stored under a seat for next time.
    I enjoy your blog, thanks!!

  5. BRILLIANT! GENIUS! I always give the cup holders back in the drive through window so I don't have extra junk in the car. I'm keeping them from now on & asking for one when they don't give them to me.
