Jessie Hopkins found herself in a stressful situation when one of her toddlers had a really bad case of RSV. They went to the ER, and ended up being emergency transported and admitted to a hospital that was a far distance from their home. She had to make a long drive back and forth to her home in the middle of the night for a change of clothes and other essential items. It was a horrible time for her to be away from her little child in such an exhaustive state.

Through this traumatizing experience, she realized she wanted to be more prepared for future emergencies and even frustrating circumstances that just happen as a mom. She put together kits, that stay in her car, with a change of clothes for each member of her family. She has many other brilliant items she keeps in her car that we discuss during this episode.
