What's in my First Aid Kit?

Who knew having a family would require you to become a full time nurse? After my first son was born and I was newly married I didn't know I would be caught off guard with the teething and fevers from the baby. Neither did I know my husband would turn into a baby when he got sick or if his allergies were bothering him. These are things no one gives you a heads up about when you start your family. In that moment when they need you, you don't want to be sitting there looking crazy and clueless you have to find solutions to make them better because they are depending on you. From fractured legs to headaches and fevers there are some must haves that you need to have stored away for that random rainy day when you will surely need it. I have gathered some items to keep safe in a first aid box or to make your own first aid kit for you and your family.

How to Prepare for a Natural Disaster

A very important topic that people seem to put off unless it hits home and by that time its too late is Natural Disasters. There can be snow storms, tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis and hurricanes at anytime. You could be trapped in the house or have electricity failure for days where you won't have any access to lights or an TV to tell you what is going on. As we can see our country has its fair share of disasters and then we see the aftermath of people having to go to shelters and seek food or loot local stores because of lack of preparation. It's easier to survive without things when you are single or maybe without kids but when you have children they are not as patient so going without water or food for days in some instances will definitely put a fire under your butt to go and find a way by any means to feed your family. Here is a list of things we all should have stored away for that day where anything can happen.
