Man, I hate trying to keep track of medications. I worry that I forgot to give it to my kids or that I accidentally gave it twice. They don't take pills so I can't count them. So, I finally got smart and came up with this idea!

Seriously, why did it take me this long to think of this!? Write the day of the week down one column and then AM and PM columns for the 10-14 days. When you give the medication, just cross it off! Recently, both kids were on antibiotics at the same time I was (thanks, cedar pollen for giving us ear infections, respiratory infections, and bronchitis!), and I was very loopy and forgetful.

I came up with the idea after making this medication tracker for my Etsy shop. Last time I got really sick, I was on 3 different prescriptions and several OTC meds and I needed a way to keep track of them. I just wrote them down in a notebook, but then afterward, I thought that if I had a page premade, it would have made my life so much easier. So now, I have this sheet for me and this marker idea for the next time my kiddos need meds.

What other genius ideas have you seen around the web lately?

I write on the back of my meds, too, especially if it’s one I don’t take on a regular basis like antibiotics.

And it totally makes your life easier, right?

This is great not only if you have kids, but also if you are caring for an older parent(s).

Absolutely!

This is a really good idea. I always had trouble remembering to take my vitamins.

Mama Writes Reviews - February 10, 2018 10:33 PM

Yes, I do too. That's why I needed this.

Sophia - February 10, 2018 7:43 PM

Great idea! I take so many meds and sometimes I stand there like “did I take this one already?!”

Mama Writes Reviews - February 10, 2018 10:33 PM

Yep, and then you have to decide if taking two would be worse than taking none...
