A Travel Tip from Cathy

Quick easy travel tip for packing medications or other things that are on cards in boxes or blister packs to save room but still know what they are - Cathy takes them out of their boxes and makes a label for the back of each card or package of pills with the instructions. So smart! I do something similar but not nearly as neat and organized, I just write on the back of mine with a sharpie. I do love my label maker though and will start doing this in the future!

Pill Box Travel Organizer

I saw this on a camping blog and thought it was a very good idea. We just went on a road trip and I tried it out - much more compact and easier to use than other ways I've tried to organize meds in the past (especially when I would just put them all randomly together in a small baggie haha!).  Each day of the week is holding a different pill (aspirin, tylenol, benedryl, etc.) or vitamin, to remember what's what I put a piece of paper in the bottom of each compartment and wrote the name of the med on the underside. When packing for a short trip I don't need the whole bottle, this way I just have a few in case I need them and they are all organized together in one place. A little mini medicine chest!

2021 update - just fyi I still use this exact pill organizer, I take it everywhere in my backpack - it's so handy!
