It’s 2 o’clock in the morning and of your kids has a fever. You fumble around the kitchen trying to track down those little plastic thermometer things and your half-empty bottle of Tylenol. After many late night trips to Walgreens, I came up with this simple solution.

I bought this inexpensive 3-drawer organizer at Target for around $7. Next, I divided our medicine stash into 3 sections:

Supplies: This drawer hold all the extra stuff like thermometers, Vapo rub, dispensing syringes, cough drops etc.

Adult Meds: This one holds all the medicines for adults

Kid Meds: This one holds all those boxes of chewable tablets and syrup bottles

This handy box sits on the top shelf of my pantry. Obviously, it’s not a revolutionary system, but its simplicity is what makes it work. Now when my daughter comes into my room in the middle of the night I just pull the whole kids meds drawer out of the box, find what I need and slip it back in. It’s simple, cheap, and incredibly useful. Just thought I’d pass it on.
