Food Storage

FOOD STORAGE . . . it's kind of-

a cussword at my house. How bout yours?

Well, we have lots of reasons WHY it is a cussword lately, but especially because it was my new years resolution to really get into whole-heartedly. Yeah. That didn't happen.

HOWEVER, there is this nifty tool I found to help me determine how much I have and how far it would go (and so how much more I will need). While the graphics and set-up for the site are slightly confusing for my simple mind, it is actually a very handy tool. And it is free! Click here for this nifty free food storage analyzer (from Emergency Essentials). But wait. Here's the kicker: After seeing how much food storage you lack, who isn't just feeling a strong urge to purchase more food storage?! Well, they will send you a free $10 gift card if you write a review about it on your blog and e-mail a link to your blog to: blog@beprepared.com

Now how could you possibly pass up this offer? I have a little more sugar for this frosting, though. Do you want $20 more in giftcards? Want to know how? Click here.

And happy shopping :)

Little Happier

We have been on a blogging hiatus. We still are, but I thought I would update the world on our life.

Our house is half the size. You would appreciate the tightness of the situation if you knew that our house is only 1100 square feet to begin with. So picture half that. That's what we live in now.

And now you know why we prefer to be gone . . .

So our poor little blog gets the shaft.

But I really enjoy littler. REALLY.

• Think smaller space so easier and faster to cool.


• Think smaller space so less objects to occupy it.


• Think less objects to occupy it so less mess to clean up.


• Think less floor space so less vacuum/mop space.


• Think TV and couch in my bedroom.


• Think snug and simple.

That's where I live now. I am starting to wonder why we are adding on at all. (I might be singing a different tune come winter.)
