Organized Chaos: Medicine & First Aid Tackle Box

 Our Medicine & First Aid Tackle Box

I like tackle boxes, but probably not for the same reason as most people.  Some people like them to store their fishing supplies, I like them because they make great storage containers.  We have had this medicine and first aid tackle box for many years.  It has worked very well in storing basic medicine and first aid items.  The medicine and first aid tackle box is stored in our medicine cabinet in the kitchen.  It is within easy reach if you need something, yet not at a level young children can get access to it.

The top of our medicine and first aid tackle box contains items we only use once in awhile like wrapping, bigger bandaids, poison control items, burn gel, spare thermometers, and a few more items.  The 3 containers with the white stickers is the section we access the most often which we go into further details about what they contain below.   The front right side of the tackle box contains our thermometer and an otoscope (we had kids with a lot of ear infections and this tool has been a huge help for our family).  If you have a kid that gets frequent ear infections an otoscope is well worth the investment!
