Convenient First Aid Essentials For Your Active Family

Summer’s here and that means your active family is outside and away from home.

If your family is like mine, there’s biking, swimming, softball, and as you can see from the picture above, rock climbing between bike riding.  So if one of my girls gets hurt, or something happens to me or my husband, I need to have first aid supplies in my bike bag or backpack.  With the potential for skinned knees and scraped elbows exponentially greater during shorts and t-shirt season, it’s important to be prepared.

It wasn’t until I found Preparakit that I stopped throwing bandages in a baggy and calling it a first aid kit.

I’m not saying bandages in baggies are a bad thing.  Let’s just say I’ve up-leveled my first aid essentials game.  I’m the mom who definitely fills the water bottles, slathers on the sunscreen and is obsessed with the importance of lip balm, yet somehow manages to never have the right bandage when I need one when we’re out and about.  Does this ever happen to you?

That’s all changed.

I’ve been converted partly because the Preparakit is so stinking cute!  Look at it…

And also because there are multiple sizes of bandages, along with gauze, tape, hydrocortisone cream, antibiotic ointment, burn cream, a tweezer, and much, much more.  The first time we used the Preparakit it wasn’t because anyone was hurt.  It was because the girls had been sitting near a stream and their hands were filthy.  We used the antibacterial wipes and then rode our bikes to get ice cream.

Preparakit offers a first aid kit refill as well.

When you run out of essentials, don’t worry!  They’ve made it simple to refill your cute kit, which tells me they’re really trying to make our parenting job easier.  Any business who does this, especially a business run by a mom, is a business I want to support!

For a limited time use the code KIDLOSOPHY to get 10% off at checkout here.

Did I mention there’s lip balm in the Preparakit?  Even on the days when I’m not on top of my parenting game, I’m covered!
