Emergency Car Bag

I've been meaning to put together an emergency car bag for awhile.  I even bought a bag recently thinking it would work well for this purpose.  But we were in the apartment at the time & I couldn't get motivated to put it together & haul it down three flights of stairs.  Then we moved & our extra time was spent unpacking.

My friend Tishey recently posted about putting a bag together & I thought it was time to stop procrastinating.  I took a few minutes today & made it happen.


Here's what I grabbed:

  • Diapers/wipes
  • Wet Ones
  • Snacks
  • Sippy cup
  • Blanket & burp cloth
  • Extra change of clothes
  • Water
  • Small first aid kit
  • Old towel

I'd like to get a car kit with flares, etc, to add to the bag.  Also, I plan to add some packaged crackers & maybe some other snacks (I just grabbed what I had on hand).  I also think I'm going to add cardboard around the bag to make it more sturdy.  Luckily, we have no shortage of boxes around here lately!

Now we'll be set even if we forget the diaper bag!
