Today was another easy project but one that needed to be done. I decided to clean and organize our medicine storage/box. Being sick this week made me realize this was an area that needed attention.
So this is our medicine box, to be a licensed adoption home we are required to have a locked box for medicine.
Yes Genna is now adopted so a lock isn't needed anymore but I like the security of knowing all my medicines are locked up where kids can't reach them. Plus, we are still considering #3...
So back to cleaning, my solution required the use of my favorite household item-Zipper Bags. I love Zipper bags!
First I took everything out of the box and sorted by type. I should point out that I actually didn't throw anything away since I am always on top of expiration dates for medicines (we are always sick).
I broke everything down by category then placed them in the bags. I labeled the bags with a Sharpie since there was a label already printed on the bag.
I used a plastic container to hold the medicine dispensers, pill cutter and such.
I placed all the bags back in and the dispenser box on top.
All locked up back on the counter. I did print a label for the medicines, but I am not loving it. I thought it would cover the metal holder but it didn't so I may create a new one.
I am very happy with my clean and organized Medicine Box. Best part is the whole project cost me nothing I just used stuff I already had at home. Love it!
