Mom's Emergency Kit: Clean-Up

Hi, everybody!

Last time we conquered the "Bored Kid," and this time it's the dreaded "Messy Kid." Accidents happen, but it seems like especially messy accidents happen when a child is involved! I always try to have a few items in my bag to clean up the inevitable "oops!" moments.

The "Messy Kid" Kit

Wysi Wipe Biodegradable Towels
The only thing that I don't love about these is that I did not invent them! They are amazing. They are biodegradable towels compressed into a capsule that is approximately the size of a quarter. Add a bit of water and poof! You have a durable and reusable towel that can clean up spills or a sticky kid. Best of all, a bag of 12 is only $1.99!






Purell Hand Sanitizer
Whether in a perfect purse-sized bottle or as handy, pre-moistened wipes, you can kill 99.9 percent of germs that can cause illness on little hands.









Diapers/Underwear
Whether your child is still in diapers or has already been potty trained, accidents can still happen. I always try to keep an extra pair of underpants or spare diapers on hand.






Spare T-Shirt/Onesie
Melting ice cream cones, bouts of car sickness, spilled juice, mud at the playground. Enough said!









Tide-to-Go Pen
The list of messes above + ground-in grass + Tide To-Go Pen = Stains eradicated.
