How to Choose the Right Family Vehicle

October 31, 2017 · In: Florida Travel

This post is sponsored by Cars.com. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

It was not too long ago that I was riding around in a 2 door sports car with my 2 sons just enjoying my life. Then I found out I was pregnant with twins! There is nothing that will force you into a new vehicle like going from two kids to four within minutes. That also meant going from 1 car seat to three! Ugh. I needed a new car. So I had to begin my search for a new family vehicle.

As a single mother of four now, I knew I had to make an informed decision about this purchase because I didn’t plan on buying another vehicle for at least 5 years.

5 things I had to consider, when choosing the right family vehicle.

Price
The most important aspect of this purchase was the cost. I knew I wanted a dependable vehicle at an affordable price. I decided what I wanted to spend then began looking at vehicles in that price range. I began looking online because its a lot less intimidating for me than going to a huge car lot.

Safety
I’m a safety geek when it comes to cars. Making sure the vehicle I was purchasing had good safety ratings was so important to me. Not only did I want to make sure the car was in good driving order, I also needed to safely and comfortably fit three carseats. That meant the vehicle had to support the Latch System. I knew this would be the safest way for me to fit all my babies. Cars.com has great resources on carseat safety and installation. I used that to help me choose the right vehicle for my situation.

Appearance
Coming from the sports car I handpicked for myself, it was important to me that I liked the new vehicle I was getting. I wanted that suburban mom, sporty, family vehicle look. LOL. Is that a thing? And I also had to have dark interior. Because, kids. But no matter what your options are, I think it’s important to get something you will be happy with. Especially if you have to pay the car not each month.

Space
Having a family of five, space is essential. I needed to have enough room for all the bodies and all the luggage that comes with that. We take a lot of road trips and having the room to accommodate everyone comfortably was important. So, consider who and what you will be transporting and go from there.

Storage
That space includes storage space. I’ve seen some of the largest SUV’s with the smallest amount of storage. I wanted to fit all of the baby gear and luggage without strapping it to the top of the car.

Gas Mileage
No gas guzzlers over here! I wanted something with great fuel economy. Paying another mortgage in gas is not my idea of a good time. Make sure you consider this when making your purchase.

Choosing the right family vehicle can be super easy when you are informed and you do your research. Don’t overspend but get something you will enjoy and will last you for years to come.

The way I’m set up I can only give my energy to The way I’m set up I can only give my energy to a few things at a time. At the top of the year I was coming in hot and then boom….Omarion. 

In the midst of feeling crappy I had all kinds of brand deals due, a launch to execute, and babies to take care of. It was A LOT! 

When life be LIFEing it’s hard for me to focus on anything outside of my household. I’m fully present in real life so the virtual world gets put on pause. And I know that’s not the best idea when your building a business but…sanity!

Oh and passive marketing 😉

I finally have my energy back, and I’ve been posting on the Youtube channel and chatting with my email peeps…. I missed y’all.

Here’s to me getting it together and finding my way back. 

Happy Monday y’all!!

4 years ago I left my job with nothing! A month e 4 years ago I left my job with nothing!

A month earlier I realized I wasn’t happy. I was tired and frustrated with myself for living beneath my potential. Nothing was necessarily “wrong” I just knew there had to be more. I prayed and asked God to lead me into what was next.

Two weeks later I witnessed my coworker jack up my 3 year old and put her on the wall because she ran out of line and onto the playground too soon…..

Two days later my boss told me the state came in and saw she had me working in a position I wasn’t certified to be doing (nor getting the pay for 😒) and I needed to get it asap!

The morning of the test I woke up and realized I slept through my alarm, her multiple texts and the test! 🥴 I took that as my sign to move on. So I did!

At the time all I had was hope and a dream. I figured I could side hustle my way to what I was making then. All I knew was that my babies needed all of me, not some unhappy fraction of who I could really be for them. 

Even though I had no clue what I was doing or how I was going to make it work, I did it anyway! 

After getting up and calling my boss back to tell her I was gonna move on, I picked up my camera to document the moment.

A few days ago someone commented on that very video, I needed that in the moment. I realized I’ve come so far, did what I intended to do and am working toward the life that girl wanted! She’d be proud.

Thank you all for your continued support! I hope you know your journey to success may look a lil different in the beginning but trust yourself, something great is waiting on the other side of your decision!

It’s the first Monday of the month and all I’m It’s the first Monday of the month and all I’m thinking about is “How can I be better than I was last year!”

I’m done with doubting myself because I can do anything with God on my team.

I’m done with imposter syndrome because “I did that” the receipts are in!

This year I’m getting back fine 😜 aggressively delegating, staying consistent, living more, complaining less and gratefully celebrating every single moment.

That’s it. Those are the plans.

I hope you find the courage to do the same!
