Yes, my kids fall asleep in the car when we drive back from an activity or errand. So I would let them sleep. They loved it. My grandma would ALWAYS COMPLAIN, how uncomfortable, how miserable for the kids. Move them to their bed.
As a kid who grew up on the road I loved sleeping in the car. I still do. The movement and motion of the road makes a great napping. So I wouldn't transfer the kids, unless I had to. And in time I discovered driving around and letting the kids sleep was not uncomfortable, miserable, or making them unhappy.
When driving around I saw first hand the first world benefit we have, and our neighbors, where having an excess of items and being able to throw good, quality things away.
No photos here... just some thoughts on the trash.
I Listed things I found,
In the neighborhood when driving around.
My kids would nap in the car,
Why should I wake their dreams from afar.

POEM // DECORATING WITH THINGS I FIND
I Listed things I found,In the neighborhood when driving around.
My kids would nap in the car,
Why should I wake their dreams from afar.
An antique table, who's trim can be fixed in a breeze,
a little glue could allow this table to hold my keys.
a little glue could allow this table to hold my keys.
An entire play lot for my kids,
a slide, a hut and tunnel in it.
Kitchen chairs made of solid wood,
found by my uncle in the hood.
Even a pair of jeans once owned,
were thrown out, forgotten, alone.
Dumpster diving is a skill,
one that I do not do well.
However this excess that we have,
throw it out, by a new one instead.
Plastic is cheap, a small price to pay,
for the convenience of instant replacement to stay.
The value of quality, workmanship and expertise,
I feel is lost. But not in my home,
not to be tossed.
Out out out in the cold.
A new couch, a rug, a lamp,
from the home.

NEW UPDATE :: YOUTUBE CHANNEL INFO
Our family has had many adventures through the years. Mom, the @Minstr0Interior had an a-ha moment . . . Suddenly I See what we will have filled our life with, ADVENTURES! We travel, craft, sing, dance, collect insects and spend loads of time together. Sometimes too much time together. Our kids have recently begun to document their own adventures, and so this channel was born. Enjoy our adventures. Or not. WANT MORE? If there is a blog post accompanying this video we will share it here. Sometimes we will include the ingredients list of the craft or recipe, or the itinerary of our trip. In the meantime click play.
