It’s another day, and once again, Jennifer Lewis shows us why she’d make the perfect mom friend. Not only is she incredibly funny and charming on social media, but she also keeps it real about the joys and struggles of parenting—and the mess that comes with it.
Take a look inside any “MomMobile,” and one thing becomes clear: it’s likely a disaster zone. If your vehicle is spotless, I might be a little intimidated by you, and it might take some time before I trust you enough to share your secrets on how to keep the car from resembling a landfill on wheels.
Jennifer is just like the rest of us, her car often overflowing with random items. In a recent Instagram post, she shared a snapshot that perfectly encapsulates that chaotic return home after a long day. You know the scene: random papers scattered around? Check. An iced coffee cup that’s seen better days? Check. Leftover snacks or drinks abandoned by the kids? Check. A baseball cap, a few books, and a planner with barely any notes? Yep, another check. She humorously captioned the photo, “Every time I exit the car. How? Why? #notstaged #notaproblem #ivegotit #iknowyoufeelme.”
Oh, do I ever relate. While my husband strolls in with his hands free and nothing weighing him down, I’m the one struggling at the door, juggling an armful of various items, using one finger to push the door open while holding things awkwardly with my body. It’s a glamorous life, I tell you.
And you bet that planner she mentioned is probably filled with doodles rather than actual plans. Even though I attempt to maintain a “no food” policy in my vehicle, it ends up being a catch-all for a mix of useless junk and essential items. Right now, if you peeked inside my car, you’d find a mountain of empty water bottles, my daughter’s sports gear, my son’s library books, random toys, parking stubs from our beach trips, dog leashes, and paperwork that I can’t even identify. Yet, I still manage to walk in looking just as chaotic as Jennifer does in her post at least once a day.
Jennifer doesn’t just stop at showing us her messy car; she’s also shared glimpses of her “mom purse,” which makes knowing her car is a disaster feel like a comforting affirmation of our shared struggles.
Are there Pinterest-worthy tips and tricks for organizing our vehicles to reduce the clutter? Absolutely! However, do any of us have the time to implement those ideas? Not a chance. So, we’ll keep on hauling loads of randomness from our cars every time we return home, knowing that even celebrities like Jennifer Lewis share in our struggle.
