Some days I feel like I live in my car.

Between school runs, baseball practices, dance lessons, violin rehearsal, and swim classes my trunk is constantly full, and my children always need something from my SUV. I decided this year it was finally time to put together a Mommy Car Kit, filled with all the essentials we might need while we are out, so we are always prepared.

I wanted to add all 20 items you see below for less than $20, and I was able to do it by shopping at my local Dollar Tree! Read below to see what I have in my car kit and get creative in making your own! I hope this will cause you less stress in your life and that you will always feel on top of your game, mommies!

Xo, Lizzie
