Creating custom built-ins allows you to really make use of every inch of usable space.
🙂 I’ve often started, but then I’d look up a list of what should be in there and I’d just get completely overwhelmed and not really know where to start.I mean there are about a million things that you.
put there, right?.At least once a year though, I find myself in a situation where I do wish I had a kit all ready to go.We don’t usually get the kind of horrific storms and natural disasters around here that end up on the evening news, but we do get them predicted for us a lot and you never know when “the big one’s” really going to hit, do you?
Most often, the worst that happens is that we lose power for a few hours and we get a few big branches down in the yard, but even then, having a few supplies nearby would be really handy and comforting too..So what I’ve done is I’ve put together a really simple, straightforward kind of list that you can use to get you started and tailor to your own needs.
And it’s cute and you can print it out for free.
For instance instead of saying “You need such-and-such amount of certain specific non-perishable foods”, I just say “food”.It just became clear that that was the best way to get us all to have a good night’s sleep and now poor Chris is stuck on the couch for the time being.
I’m that mom.. -Toothbrushing.Remembering to get Kennedy to brush her teeth?
Sometimes I get to the end of the weekend and I’m not sure if she’s brushed them once that whole time.Without our usual school routine to remind me, I’m pretty hopeless.
