Food- go through your pack and check the expiration dates. Anything that will expire before October should be taken out and replaced. Food items I replaced this time were: granola bars, fruit leather, hard candies, tuna pouches, oatmeal packets, and jerky. I also added toddler friendly snacks and food pouches. Now I can enjoy watching conference with some additional snacks :)
Water- I was using a "milk jug" looking water bottle, but found that it was not sturdy enough and was leaking. I replaced that jug with old juice bottles and they are working a lot better. Use your "old" water to water your plants or fill up the pets water dish. Don't want to waste precious water.
Clothing- Time to take out the winter clothes and put in summer clothing. Make sure that your clothes fit well. For my child I added two onesies, a light jacket, and a pair of light weight pants. Also every time she changes diaper sizes, I restock the kit.
Medicine- Check all expiration dates on any medication or vitamins you have in your kits. Make sure that nothing will expire before October, when you will update your kit again. Items I added to my kit were prenatal vitamins, children's acetaminophen (Tylenol), and adult acetaminophen,and tums. I personally don't like to take Tylenol, but since I am pregnant, I am limited to that.
Also now that my child is older I added a few new "cheap" toys that she has never played with before. I also keep her diaper bag well stocked with diapers, snacks, and a few toys.
Check your car kits and rotate items from there also.
Remember to place your kit in an easy to access area. My kits are next to the bed.
