I absolutely love being a sports mom, but it sure can kick your butt. 🤪🤣 I have learned over the last several years that I need to be more organized!
I absolutely love having my trunk organized! 🙌🏼 my main reason is because I really don’t like bats falling over and hitting the windows and furniture or my wagon tipping over and marking up my car inside. 😬 SO here is what I came up with!
Drinks
We always need drinks and because we’re rushing out the door we tend to forget those! And I really don’t like paying three times more for a soda or a Gatorade at the ballpark. 🤦🏻♀️ So at the start of the season I hit up Sam’s Club or Costco and put in Gatorade, water bottles and my personal favorite Body Armour! If we bring non-recyclable water bottles, then we don’t need these, but let’s be honest – mom of four here likes this drink stock in the trunk. 🤪🤣👏🏼
I put our camping chairs on the drinks because we use the chairs every game anyways. 😊
Stackable Crates
I LOVE THESE STACKABLE CRATES that keep things organized and less space used because they stack! 🙌🏼
I just moved them over so my wagon is placed between the crates and drinks, so the wagon does not fall all over while driving. 😏🙌🏼
When not needed, the crates undo to be as flat as they can be! 🙌🏼
In the bottom crate, I put our water bottles and drink mixes! It was important for me to have electrolytes, so these packs are for games and the yummy other mixes are for when in the crowd!
The bottom crate also containers are cold weather needs because I live in Utah and spring is so fickle! Some nights we play in 30degrees. 🥶 So I keep gloves, beanies and blankets as well. I do have sweatshirts for my kids, but we usually need coats too, but those don’t fit in with blankets.
In the top crate, I have my activity envelopes. These are the packets I put together to keep siblings happy and occupied, so I cheer and enjoy the game. 😏🙌🏼
Top crate also has my “outting” bag that I have filled with “everything” I may need when away from home. check out those details here! 😊
I put together 3 snack bags (white ones shown) before the season starts of nutritious and sugary snacks for when my kids say they are hungry. One bag is in the top crate while the others are stored at home ready to swap out! This way I am stocked and ready with 3 bags!
I have my baseball wallet ready with cash for the snack shack when we need to eat dinner. Our ballpark also does snack vouchers, so each kid has one saved in the wallet. They get these to use all season on treats other than the snack bag.
I do have some travel games and littles items that I trade out to take to the games for more playing while mommy watches the game!
The top crate also has my baseball bag that I use to take all these items to the game! Altogether and easy to carry. 🥰 Plus it’s a baseball bag 😍, but it can be any bag.
I swap out the games and activity envelopes, so kids aren’t repeating same activities! The details about these will be in a post soon, so subscribe to the emails or follow me on Instagram You Can Call Me Jess!
Wagon
Carrying all that to the ballpark isn’t easy, so I have my wagon from Sam’s Club years ago. I squeeze the wagon between the drinks and crates, so the wagon doesn’t fall over my car sitting on its side. I use to lay it flat, but it takes up too much space like that and everything I put in the wagon was on top of the wagon. 🤦🏻♀️ Pain in the bum! I much prefer having the crates and drinks prop the wagon up. This wagon has a few newer parts that my wagon doesn’t have.
Baseball Gear
We have baseball backpacks and bats to fill up the last of the space. (Ps Slider sandals are so much better than wearing tie shoes or cleats to the field!)
Certain weekends I add in our dance bag for competition. You may have other sports equipment!
Check out my Amazon My Baseball Life List!
Anything I got specific for the kids not related specifically to baseball but I use at baseball games are in My Amazon Kid Must Haves.
Any of these ideas you already do? Any suggestion you plan to do for your trunk? I’d love to hear in comments or email!
Happy Sport Season! ❤️
