to minivan or not to minvan…should there be a question?! not for the modern mama! i know the sales pitch - minivans are the quentissential vehicle of convenience and comfort for today’s family. and this may be true…however, for the modern mama, it isn’t about convenience, or comfort and usually boils down to form over function! (just picture me chasing down my 3 year old on the playground in manolo blahniks while carrying my 10 month old!) why am i so steadfast against the minivan?! i am not sure, but in my mind i truly equate owning a minvan with losing all things hip and cool about myself. i mean first the minivan, then what?! the ‘mom’ haircut, sensible shoes, and elastic waist pants - oh my! will the radio station suddenly play only ‘lite rock’ or worse - nursery rhymes?! do you wonder why they don’t offer minivans in the same color as sports cars or with racing stripes? for the record, my SUV has plenty of room for my kids, my shopping, and my identity! …not to mention, my kids like to rock out to fall out boy just like their mama!
