The Winter Car Kit

I am currently on Christmas break... which is glorious!  I am drinking peppermint hot chocolate, watching Criminal Minds while Nate naps.  Dinner is in the crockpot, laundry is in the dryer... everything on today's To-Do List has been crossed off.  With all my ducks in a row I still take the time to think about the what is situations.  Yesterday I put the finishing touches on my winter car kit, an emergency kit I keep in my car just in case.

My basic winter car kit includes:

• Boots and Warm Socks
• Mittens/ Gloves for me and Nate
• Scarf
• Hat for me/Hat for Nate
• Blanket
• Folding Shovel
• Ice scraper/Snow Brush

This year I added a few extra items that hopefully I will never need:

• Portable Carbon Monoxide Detector
• Bottled Water in Ziplock Bag
• Shelf Stable Meals -- I found these at Target
• Tow Strap
• Empty Chinese Food Container with Lid (For when you gotta go)

In addition, I always have a flashlight, mylar blanket, razor/box cutter, water proof matches, empty reusable water bottle, baby wipes, hard candy, hand sanitizer, tissues, umbrella, notebook, pen, crayons, and books. 

Hopefully, This prepares me enough for whatever situation I might find my self in.
