back at it

I've really been wanting to get back on track with getting our food storage. But, with my back injury and then surgery, it just couldn't be a priority. However, today was the day to get things going again.

The Food saver is a miracle machine.

For real.


Kaden loves helping and pushing the buttons.


Bosten just loves helping.


Today we did almonds, powdered sugar, butterscotch and chocolate chips, jelly beans, and pancake mix.

Then it was on to updating our 72 hour kits.



We got the food sealed into bags, as well as emergency stuff (blankets, matches, gloves, etc.), and diapers. Can I tell you how much room it saves to do diapers like this?! Now I just need to add clothes and water and we're good to go!

I love feeling like we're getting things together. I've still got a long way to go, but I've got a plan, 2 little helpers and a miracle machine!

IN-CRE-DI-BLE! That seriously is what you are. What a good idea to use that machine. And oh ya, diapers. Nope wouldn't have any of those. Good job!

Shelby, you are inspiring!! I would love to know where you got all your information. I have it on our 2010 Goal List as well, and let's be honest...so far? Not so good.
