Winter preparedness

There are so many things you need to do for winter preparations, but one I recently did for my peace of mind was to put an emergency box in my car.

This box has blankets, hat, gloves usual breakdown kit etc.

But also I have a vital set of supplies for my son: spare diapers - cloth (so one size fits all, therefore no worries about keeping current sizes), food, dry clothes etc.

Whilst I am not planning to take a drive in adverse conditions - weather can well ... sneak up on you! As a mom I do worry about worse case scenario's - possibly too much, that's up for debate. I do find that I can put those worries to good use. I think through all the supplies I would need if my son and I were stuck somewhere in the car and now having planned and packed for such an eventuality, I can at least rest my concerns about not being able to manage.

Also when coming home from a trip I fill up with fuel to ensure we always have a nearly full tank wherever we go.

In my house in the freezer - I have enough baby meals frozen to last til spring and some supplies to keep mum and dad going too! (Perhaps I was a squirrel in a past life?)
