What works for me

Works for Me Wednesday

Here’s what works for me today- specific items to store in your kitchen under the sink cabinet- First Aid Kit and a flashlight with extra batteries.

After last week’s episode I am glad to have a very basic first aid kit handy in my kitchen. Very simply it is a clear shoe box with fitted lid filled with necessary supplies- Aloe Vera (for kitchen burn incidents), band-aids, butterfly closures, big knee size band-aids, antibiotic ointment, two dark colored washcloths (hides blood), rubbing alcohol , cotton balls and one of those handy little ice pack bags with screw on lid (just dump ice in it!). We keep this kit basic without any medications because of its location.

As for the flash light- Mr. Steady got me a really cool Mag light kit. The flashlight came with a clip/clamp to screw into the wall to handily store it! It is stored right inside on the wall in the cabinet- no more searching for a flashlight! We change our flashlight batteries when we change our smoke detector batteries (@ day light savings time) but it’s always a good idea to store batteries close by where you will need them.

Well, that’s what works for me today! Hop on over to Shannon’s place to check out more creative Works for Me tips.

I am sooo glad to read this today - this week has been hard on us, too, as Daddy went back to work on Tuesday after over a week of vacation, and it has been just me and the kids... Michael goes back to school tomorrow, but yesterday & today both of them were bored, they were antsy, nothing got accomplished, and I got very grumpy too. I'm glad that at least one other mom is going through this too, because I was feeling like a failure!
