We’ve been a one car family since we sold our Lexus last summer. And, honestly, it hasn’t been that bad. But, with school starting and soccer and ballet and everything else, we needed another car. Because logistically, it no longer was going to be possible.

So, I made good on my “eco-chic” promise and this weekend we got a Prius.

Please Ignore the Ladder in the Background

It’s a 2007 with one previous owner, an impeccable service record and I’m really grateful for an environmentally friendly car.

I filled it up today and, people, it cost less than $30! I’m actually going to read the owners manual because I’m really curious as to how it works. I’m still figuring out how to work all the buttons inside, but it’s a car I feel good about driving. Plus, awesome gas mileage.
