Upon arrival at our halfway home this evening, coming from a weekly visit to the grand folks down south, I mentioned to our nanny/help to remind me to put together an emergency kit essentially for Le Misch, in the event of a calamity of any magnitude occurs.
I am still devastated by the unfathomable disaster that hit Japan and I thought, we all have to be prepared in any way we can, right?

And just as I was thinking about our emergency kit, I came across Stephmodo's preparedness process. Yes! What we need is a 72-hour kit! But what to put inside? My nanny's first thought was-- flashlight! Smart. So far here's my list:
- Flashlight or head lamps
- Milk in small packages
- Power bars (love this idea from Stephmodo!)
- Important documents- passports, birth certificates, etc. (again from Stephmodo)
- Clothes for the little girl
- Diapers
- Wipes
- Alcohol
- First-Aid Kit
- One of Mischka's favorite stuffed toy (trivial, I know, but it will help calm her down when things get crazy)
- Some cash
- Vitamins
- Paracetamol, anti-allergy meds
It would also be good to have one of these again via Stephmodo.
Are you also putting together your 72-hour kit or have one prepared already? Please do share what's in it.
