Check out that shiny new 2011 Honda Odyssey minivan. In MY driveway!
Yep, we got a new car. A VAN! A total Mom-ride. But! It's the coolest, not-so-van-like model out there. And it drives fabulous and hello room! Anyone need a ride?? I'm offering! I have the space! Bring a friend!
Our 1999 Honda Civic took a dump on us and it was costly to fix. We were looking to get a bigger car anyway, especially now with baby #2 on the way. We need the room, especially for all the traveling we do. We towed my beloved light blue little Civic to the Honda dealership and a few days later drove away with a sparkly black roomy minivan.
Vans get a bad rap. Kind of nerdy. Dorky moms drive vans. I had to swallow hard a few times myself before making the final decision to go with the van. I'm here to stand up to the stigma and say.... I'm not dorky. And I'm a mom. A soon-to-be mom of 2. And I think my van is pretty cool looking. AND, while you (the mom looking down her nose at my van) struggle to get your kids into your SUV and fit the stroller and the groceries....I'll be laughing all the way out of the parking lot, since the kids and I are already locked and loaded into our super spacious and totally practical (but not so nerdy) van.
We make our first South Bend road trip this weekend and are pretty excited about it. No more packing the trunk to the gills. No more squeezing in with bags under our feet. Heck, I may pack an extra bag....just because!

haha! I am sooo in the same boat as you! We got our minivan a little over a year ago - and I tried to get the most "non-minivan looking" minivan we could - bc we swore (pre-kids) that we would never own one! lol!
However, it is THE best decision we made - bc I honestly don't know HOW we would have traveled with 2 kids (and a dog) and all the baby stuff without one!
Congrats on being a fellow minivan owner! You will now find yourself trying to fight being the "stereotype" - haha!
