The dreaded subject of....
Emergency Preparedness..a topic of discussion for a very long time. Everyone's situation is a little different. I just happen to be in a situation where I can't do all of the food storage for a year, really I don't even have room or money for a three month supply. So I had to take a look at what is best for me to focus on right now for our family situation. I decided a one month food supply would be within my means. Also I want to be prepared in case we are out of power for up to a week. I went through my pantry and took two trips to Macey's to take advantage of their caselots, and I now have at least one month of food that we actually LIKE to eat!! I was so happy, now I just need to get face masks(they say that is one of the three most important quick things to grab for an earthquake. Water and Flashlight being the other two) and focus on power outage preparedness. I think there are little things that would be really helpful in an emergency, and I want to be useful if something happens.

I know. I really hate the feeling of knowing I am not prepared. We do have some stuff but not some things that I hear we need in an emergency. Like, we hardly have any band aids and things like that. So that's the next thing on my list to get is a good first aid kit.
what's funny, I hadn't even thought abou first aid kits yet!
Getting started is the first step. Everything takes time. I am excited for you that you got the first month supply and are working on the power outage. I love working on preparedness and I hadn't even thought about what we need in a power outage. Thanks for bringing that to our attention. Now we can work on getting that prepared too. :) Your awesome Chrissy.
