i am a mom

Last night, Hubby and I entered into one of the most controversial choices of parenting.

Not formula or nursing

Not co-sleeping or independent sleeping

Not pacifiers or thumbs

Not circumcision or au natural

Not home schooling, public or private schools

Not trade school, community college or a 4 year university

It was much more serious and life changing than that.

It was the great minivan decision. Hubby has a small 4 door car, and I had a Jeep Patriot. I LOVED the Jeep. Hubby and I bought it just after we were married. It was sad to get rid of it, but with the two little boys we had just outgrown it. The backseat was jam packed with car seat-age and the trunk was full with the big stroller. Let alone all the other stuff I need to have in the car just in case.

Enter the world of minivans. We bought a 2008 (barely) used Grand Caravan.

It is delightfully big. Not ginormous, but we can easily fit every thing we need and my parents when they visit. It will be so nice to have all that room the next time we move (because I like to plan ahead).

I am officially a mom.

And, I like it.
