Grab a notebook, decorate if desired. Write questions, thoughts, requests, notes, etc… slip under pillow back and forth between you and your child. Great for little ones comfortable with writing and reading. Even better for pre-teens that have embarrassing questions!
UPDATE: See comments: Teachers – use this for idea and call it a “Dialogue Journal”. Thanks Pillowsalamode
Much of the research on these beneficial houseplants has been done by NASA scientists researching ways to create suitable space station habitats. All indoors plants (flowering or not) are able to purify indoor air to some degree through their normal photosynthesis processes. But some were found to be more beneficial than others in removing harmful household toxins, even removing 90% of chemicals in the air in only twenty-four hours!
The three main household toxins of concern are:
These carcinogenic chemicals are used in the manufacturing of synthetic substances and materials and are off-gased from new materials for some time (up to several years, depending on the material of product in question). Benzene can also be emitted from gas ranges during use, making some types of houseplants below great for use in the kitchen.
It is unlikely that any documents you choose to include in your kit will keep you alive. However, having them all organized and together can make your life so much easier now and in the event of an emergency. Making insurance claims, searching for missing loved ones (heaven forbid), staying in touch with family and friends, traveling around the country and accessing your financial accounts will all be much easier if you have some essential documents at your fingertips. In addition, having a binder like what I’m about to suggest to you can also make your day to day life easier and more efficient.
I’m simply going to walk you page by page through my “emergency documents binder.” I keep this near our kit, but not in it as I access and use it often. It goes wherever I go so that I can have access to these important documents anytime, anywhere.
Nathan (my husband) and I each have our own prioritized list of what our responsibilities will be when / if we need to evacuate. If we are given 10-30 minutes notice, we start in at the top or the first list and try to get through as much as we can. The stuff at the bottom of the list isn’t as essential as the stuff at the top. If given just a few minutes to evacuate (and doing so on foot), we use the second lists instead. You can read more about our family evacuation plan here. (although I need to edit it a bit online…the printed one is more accurate!)

Cut the bottom off a plastic water bottle. Secure an old gym sock around the bottom with duct tape or a rubberband. Dip the sock into bubble solution and then blow through the top. Fun!
