Hello, Keeping your home shipshape for unexpected events is crucial, especially with little ones and seniors on board. Here's a tip: you may repurpose those old shoeboxes into mini emergency kits . Label them 'In Case of Emergency: Break Out the Snacks!' Fill them with essentials like granola bars, flashlights, and maybe even a deck of cards for entertainment. It's like organizing a treasure hunt, but the real treasure is preparedness!
