Mini Emergency Car Kit

It all fits and the lid snaps on nicely! 

We all know there are things you should keep in your car at all times such as jumper cables, at least one blanket and an emergency bite of chocolate but this little kit goes beyond that. Today I put together one of my own personalized boxes with things that I would need in the car, that I normally have in the car (or diaper bag) but would be less than good to not have when needed. Here is what I put in my kit:

• An empty, washed dish detergent plastic bucket with a snap lid (this is a Great Value pods box)
• 2 juice boxes
• 1 water bottle
• 1 small towel
• 2 diapers
• 3 packs of fruit snacks*
• 4 high-protein granola bars
• 3 grocery/trash bags
• 3 lady items
• A pack of clear hair bands
• Tylenol
• Lotion
• An old, non-contracted, fully charged cell phone for emergency calls
• A little emergency cash
• Pen
• Notebook
• Emergency contact information- laminated and taped to the inside of the lid
• The black thing with glow tape is my car first aid kit. I just brought it in to go through it. 

*I have recently discovered that fruit snacks tend to melt into one giant blob in hot cars. Go ahead and keep them in there during the warm months if you don't mind but otherwise, you might want to think about putting hard candies or something like that in your box instead.
