oh crap

Write a list of things that you would grab if you had to leave your home and were only given a few minutes, and then tape it inside a cupboard or back of a door. I call it the "oh crap" list, and here are some thing that would be on mine:
scrapbooks/photo albums
72 hour kits
Sleepingbag
my dogs food
canned goods with opener
eye glasses( i always have contacts in, but at some point they come out and I am blind without glasses)
You get the idea, this is so important to do because in a moment of crisis you wont be able to think clear, it would be so nice to just grab a list and hurry on your way.

Like it, Learn it, cause you may have to use it

I am still tryin' the rotate your food storage stuff, however Im doin it.
If you are like me you have those big cans of dry food products, well open them up and learn to use 'em, experiment, cause what if the day comes that you need them, and you've never used 'em. Nicole (my fellow chick in the kitchen) and I had my dried soup mix that my hubby brought to life for lunch today. It was good, he put tomato soup in with it and water, so go ahead......try yours out!

Every little bit counts

So I know a lot of us are tryin to put together a food storage. It can be hard financially and overwhelming of how to start, but Shannon had a great idea. Each time you go to the grocery store buy 2-3 extra cans of something, I say if you can spend an extra 5 bucks a time. Which ever way you choose it will add up.
