Pro Tip: Keep First Aid Supplies Handy

As a mom of young kids and as a person who just likes to be prepared, I know how important and handy it is to have first aid supplies at my disposable at home and when I am out.  I keep a mini first aid kit in my purse and in my car for the occasional bumps, scrapes, and bruises when we are at the park, school, or just out and about. Things happen! I can’t tell you how many times I have pulled out a band-aid for one of my kids or their friends.  And I have found myself plenty of times reaching for a band-aid from my secret stash. Sure we will survive until we get home if we don’t have antiseptic and a band-aid while we are out, but I am so relieved when we can quickly get the boo boo taken care of. I just discovered that there is mini antiseptic spray (no touch) that I just got for my purse for those scrapes when we are out and there’s no bathroom nearby. Score!

At home I have a few first aid kits/supplies throughout the house. I keep a large first aid kit in the kitchen where I keep my medication. That’s the major First Aid hub in our home. But I also have a First Aid Kit upstairs in the master bathroom and in the kids’ bathroom. We have a two-story home so as lazy as it sounds it has saved us a lot of time and effort to grab supplies in the bathroom upstairs rather than running down to the kitchen especially if it’s at night or early in the morning. Just a little tip that might make things a little easier. You never know when you will need it!
