Preparedness

I posted this on my own blog, but I thought this would be something useful for the whole family....

About a month ago I stumbled upon the coolest Blog of two sisters that break down preparedness into baby steps so that it's manageable and practical for your family.  You can sign up for their checklists and every other week for a year you'll get an email with the "next step."    
I'm in the middle of the 1st step- they send you an Excel spreadsheet to organize your Emergency Plans/Contacts  & guidelines for putting together 72-hour kits in case of a natural disaster/emergency.  I wanted to get this done before the inevitable ice storm in the winter.  Since our family has grown since I last put one together 2 years ago, it looks like it's going to be 2 tubs this time.  I need to add the diapers & wipes. :)

They also have products, food storage recipes and the works on the blog, so it's a really useful resource.  Seriously, check it out..... Food Storage Made Easy
