hygeine kits

I saw a post on Cranberry Corner that was inspiring. I have been wanting to make hygeine kits for quite awhile and was super overwhelmed by the idea. But she made it seem so easy that I thought I could do it. I have broken it down a bit but it's s step for me.

Everyone's kit was to fit inside of a gallon ziploc bag. The girls have feminine hygeine products and the babies have diapers/wipes. These kits are only a 3 day supply!

Ours include:

toilet paper

combs

deoderant (those that need it)

bar soap

hand sanitizer

shampoo

conditioner

moisturizer

lip balm

candy

wash cloth

extra ziploc bag for wet cloth to go in
pony tail holders (girls)

body wipes

first aid kit

sunscreen

toothbrush

toothpaste

mouthwash

floss

razor (for Robert)

shaving cream (for Robert)

The baby has baby powder and baby sunscrren ect. in his. I didn't have the funds for backpacks for everyone but I decided to use the reusable grocery bags and had everyone put a change of clothes in it along with the kit. I added the candy because who can't use chocolate in a time of need for comfort? Besides, I will be making a family kit next and it will include games and such as well as scriptures and the first aid stuff. This was a good start for us. We keep them in the garage with our water supply and the camping gear. I still plan on including a copy of our necessary 'papers'. Especially the financial ones. If we leave our house quickly I want birth certificates as well as a way to access our bank stuff. So that's still 'to come'.

We put these together during a family home evening. We went over how to use body wipes and garbage disposal. Also, sanitation and multiuse items. Like using mouth wash to disinfect wounds. It will hurt but keep out infection. We went over sharing our supplies with others. (for the record we will always share and this was made clear to the kids) We also had a fire drill and went over our 'safe' meeting spot. My Mom reminded me that we needed our 'safe password' but I neglected that, so it is still to come! Thank you, Mom! anyway, It's a start.
