Emergency Vital Records
 
Boy did we get a harsh reminder this past week, or what?!

What would YOU take if you only had 10 minutes to pull stuff from your home or business?  This last year I pulled all of my vital records together in a product that I really like.  I had a chance to review many options at the National Association of Professional Organizers conference last spring, and here is the one I chose:  Vital Records Portavaultvital records organizer2

I chose this one because of its large capacity, zippered enclosure, the way it organized all of my records, the pockets for things like my passport and backup CDs, and that I can just sling it over my shoulder and grab more stuff.  But you could just as easily make one out of a regular binder using pocketed dividers and/or page protectors to hold odd items.  Things you want to include:
  • credit card information (copies)
  • birth certificates
  • copy of driver's license
  • immunization records (kids)
  • passports
  • medical information
  • car titles
  • wills

The important point here is to take the hour and put it together NOW and then put it in a place that you can grab and go!

If you would like to look at the one I got, just click here and type in "vital records" in the search area and it will take you right to it.
Thank You's!

calla lily dropsLittle did I know when I met and partnered with Karen in the organizing realm that she had a tremendous hidden talent.
 
She mentioned when she was moving that she might pick back up her "hobby" of photography, which was something she really enjoyed in college.
 
And then friends and family got to see some initial pictures in her blog. . .we were all blown away!  She has now grown her hobby and has a website (www.fotosdekarina.com) where she can display and sell her prints of plants, nature, animals and still life.
 
I encourage you to go to the site and look around.  She calls the email updates of her pictures "Mental Margaritas", so be sure to sign up for them on her site.
