Organization
We're going to be moving some time before summer...after 14 years in this 3br, 2b with a 4 room garage conversion. Try and imagine how much stuff you can have with that much room... And we want to be ready to move with a 30 day notice if we find a place sooner than summer. We started a couple weeks back tossing what is really unnecessary. As much as I don't want to move, this is a good process. We're getting rid of stuff I knew we should've gotten rid of years ago...just never got around to it. So, it's been toss, donate and reorganize. We actually have some empty shelves! Dh and I had to have a conversation about how I am taking my prepping stuff...he's having a hard time looking at my bags of canning jars I got through freecycle, and the candles, and..... Guess I'll have to fill the jars with food...he doesn't have any issues with moving jars of food.
I really needed this kick in the pants to get my prep stuff organized. I put my pressure canner in an 18 gallon tote with funnels, jar lifters, boxes of lids, etc inside the canner. My ball Blue book is next to it. Also put in the vaccuum sealer with parts and bags as well as the pump-n-seal. I'll see if I can post pictures later.
In another 18 gal tote I have candles...most were freebies through freecycle. I have a smaller tote with lamps,lamp oil, wicks, and matches (in jars). I really like this because when I need something it's all together and in one place...not scattered all over kingdom come.
So, far that's all I've done. My goal is to get in the habit of doing a little each day.
