About
Mom's Minivan
Mom'sMinivan.com
is created, owned and maintained by me - Laurel Smith.
The
topic of what to do with your children in the car has come up again and
again in my many years of participating in online parenting support groups
and discussions. Parents were often desperate for ideas, and other moms
had plenty of advice to share, but there was never one good all-inclusive
resource on the topic. For years I enjoyed website creation for my personal
family website, so I decided to create this website as a resource for moms
everywhere.
I travel
with my children often and have many fond memories of family car vacations
as a child, so family fun on the road was a topic I could really pour my
heart into. The ideas and activities you'll find here are from my own experiences,
or have been sent in by my readers, who have shared their own experiences
with their children.

Product
Reviews:
I receive
many requests to review new products, books and travel guides. I
have a limited amount of time and space for this type of thing. Please
do not send me unsolicited materials without first asking so that we don't
waste time and resources. If I think it would be useful to other parents,
then I "might" mention it in my blog or on my website, but please understand
it is not a guarantee that I will give a review, or mention it at all for
that matter.
Advertising

I
do receive compensation for many of the products that I recommend on this
website, either through the company's affiliate program as a sales commission,
or occasionally with a sample of the actual product from the merchant.
However, it's important to note that when I endorse a product on this website,
it is because I personally believe it to be a good product that my readers
will benefit from it's use -- I only endorse products that I truly recommend
