Counting Down...

Well folks, there are just a few hours left before the new year. I have thoroughly enjoyed this one and I hope many good things lurk in 2009 for us all. Like many of you, I have been thinking about new year resolutions and what I want to accomplish next year. I won't bore you with all of them, because there are quite a few this time around, but here is one you might be interested in...

...food storage. I have had a goal to get some kind of food storage going this year; we are woefully behind (meaning we have nothing—unless you count an extra bag of sugar and rice downstairs). However, on my way home from Idaho this week, I happened upon a billboard with this website: www.thereadyproject.com. Now this is the kind of food storage that my kids might consume. I might actually make headway this year on a one year's supply.

Anyway, I hope you all make some good goals. Keep moving forward (as Cornelius would say). See you all, next year.

  1. I checked out that food storage website and think it's fabulous! I may even eat some of that stuff. I'm kind of a nerd when it comes to emergency preparedness, so I've been thinking of a way to have food storage at my tiny college apartment. This may be the best thing ever. Thanks for posting it, and Happy New Year! =D

  2. Food Storage has been on my mind a lot these past few months. This year for Chrismas Kolby and I got our "Basic" One year supply of food storage. You know... the stuff that is really not that delicious (wheat, rice, beans, dry milk, etc.). I am glad that we now have it, at least we could survive if we had to, although I am planning on supplimenting it with some yummy stuff too. I will have to go look at the website you found, it sounds great!

  3. That is a great goal for the year. We worked on it last year and got a good start, but we still have a long way to go. My big goal is the 999 reading challenge and losing 20 lbs. I have a ticker on my blog so that I have to be accountable for how I'm doing. I'm hoping that will help. Plus Sarah has agreed to be my diet buddy.

    Wish us luck! And Happy New Year!
