When I think about all the things my Mother did for me growing up I wonder how she ever got anything done for herself.

Mom made sure I was up, fed and to school on time everyday. She maneuvered my brother, sister and me around all week to play practice and friend’s houses. When we went to the beach she made sure we had 30 SPF sun block and every time we took a long road trip, she’d make sure to pack enough snacks (healthy if possible) to last the journey.

I’m sure there are countless other things Mom did unbeknownst to me to keep our family safe, healthy and on track.

I think it’s in a mother’s genes to help prepare their children for the world, so it’s only natural that they take the lead in preparing their households for unexpected emergencies.

And one way to get better prepared is by making a disaster supplies kit as these mothers have done:

• Momformation
• SV Moms
• Bluntmoney
• Dura Mater

So have you made your kit yet? And how have (would) you personalized yours?
