Organized First Aid Kit!

I thought I would start off with an organization tip from an incident that happened today.  My son and daughter were in the backyard playing, when my son came running through the back door crying that he had just been bitten by an ant on his foot.  I quickly ran into our laundry room and grabbed our first aid kit.  I put some After Bite cream on his bite and the crisis was over.  Happy kids = a happy mom!  Here is a quick look at our first aid kit:

I purchased a Creative Options Large Utility Box in the craft aisle at Wal-Mart for about $7.00.  I  moved the plastic dividers around so it would fit all my first aid items. 

Then I just popped in my first aid items!

I added a "First Aid" label to the outside of the box, and then placed it in the cabinet above my sink in the laundry room!

There you have it!  A smart and simple way to organize first aid items!

Would love to hear from you!  How do you organize your family's first aid items?

Introduction!

Hi!  Thank you for taking time to read my blog!  I decided to start a blog to not only help keep myself and family organized, but also to share organizing tips that I have found work well for my family. I have three sweet and active kiddos.  If I don't stay organized, our home and our lives can become chaotic pretty fast. I definitely don't claim to be the most organized person in the world, nor do I want to be. I like a little unknown in my life, but I do want a happy home that runs smoothly. I don't want to waste precious time searching for items when I could be spending time with my family, which is what I love most!  


My home is not perfect.  I don't strive for perfection.  Being organized is not about perfection or keeping a spotless home; it's about having a plan in place to make your life easier and run smoother.  Homes should be comfortable and a place where you and your family can unwind and relax, not a place of chaos and stress.  


I plan to show you through this blog what works for our family, my current organization projects, and things I hope to accomplish.  I hope you will join me!
