13 UHeart Organizing: DIY Emergency Pamper Kit

A huge part of organizing is the act of being prepared.  We do so much to prepare for busy weeks and ways to save money, but what about ourselves?  Balance was my key word this year, because in order to be a better mom, wife and worker-bee, I need to stop spreading myself so thin and take bits of time for myself.  Serena of Pretty Fluffy blog, had a darling idea to put together an emergency pamper kit, which is simply brilliant and fits right within my resolution.  There are days when I just need to take a few hours away from it all and I love the idea of having something prepared and ready just when I need it most.  Here she is now to share more about this sweet little idea.

Too often we make our organizing projects about everyone but ourselves.  From chore charts to menu plans and other amazing ideas that are often about making the lives of those around you better and more organized.   However, today's project is all you.  Say hello to the emergency pamper kit – Treat Yo-Self!!!

The emergency pamper kit is your secret arsenal for the days when you need an extra pick me up. Whether you know your in for a particularly stressful day and have it set up & waiting for you when you get home or you need to break it out, a little prior preparation goes a long way in knowing you will always be looked after.

To make your own pamper kit, simply grab a cute gift box and fill till your hearts content. Here are some suggested items to make the ultimate pamper emergency kit:
