Up-Coming Preparedness Fair!

I LOVE going to the Fair!

The kind of fair I'm talking about

doesn't have anything deep fried, cow pied,
or crash up derbified.

This fair has . . . FREEZE DRIED!

Even better, right?!?

It's the Fruit Heights

TRI-CITY PREPAREDNESS FAIR!

WOOT...WOOT!

It makes me so happy to be able to talk to

other people about what they are doing to become

better prepared.

The date is April 30th

from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm

901 South Mountain Road LDS Church

and if you're looking to purchase preparedness items,

the Presbyterian Church across the street 

796 South Mountain Road

will have venders.

The focus for the LDS Church will be:

Home Storage

Food and Non-Food Items

72 Hour Kits

Sanitation

Alternative Cooking

Fuels

and TONS MORE!

Here's the Flyer:

Tri-City Preparedness Fair Flyer PDF

I will be hosting a booth on Powdered Milk.

Woot .... Woot!

Hope to see YOU there!

Camp Kitchen Organizer!

Today's Project

is a

Camp Kitchen Organizer!

My friend Crystal Cheney shared it with me

and I have to tell you...

This thing is AWESOME!

It's a great way to organize

EVERYTHING

you will need to cook and prepare meals . . .
OUTDOORS!

Here's What You'll Need:
A Tool Organizer
There are a couple difference types.
One will fit over and around the top of a 5-gallon bucket.
The other looks like the one in the picture above.
Either one will work great.
(She found the one in the picture at Home Depot.)
You will also need Cooking Supplies.
Check through your drawers for extras, or purchase
a few things each month.
The dividers make it nice for organizing:
Spatulas
Tongs
Spices and Seasonings
Salt and Pepper
Spoons
Basters
Knives
Ladles
Measuring Cups and Spoons
Egg Timer
Hot Pads
Kitchen Shears
Funnel
and whatever else you use in your kitchen!
It will hold everything you need
but the kitchen sink!!!

Easy and Efficient
and in an Emergency Situation
I have a feeling this would come in
pretty handy!
...Thanks Crystal...

Thanks to the Hoytsville Girls

for letting me hang out with you last night.

What a GREAT group of LADIES!

WOW . . . This is AWESOME!!!

I just saw a link to this video on the

Sugardoodles Facebook Page.

(That Melanie is the BEST!)

It was truly inspired and amazing!

Way to Go . . . Irvine Stake!

Their Message:

Get It

Learn How To Use It

and then

Go Beyond Just the Needs of Your Own Family

So That YOU Will Be Able To Bless Others As Well.

Heed the Prophets Council,

Exercise Faith,

and

GET IT!

Start at the very beginning . . .

I would encourage those of you who are new to this blog,

to start from the very beginning.

Almost every day in 2010

I posted something that you could do

to help

PREPARE YOUR FAMILY

both SPIRITUALLY and TEMPORALLY.

This year has been CrAzY for me and I

haven't been able to post as regularly as I would like,

but being PREPARED and helping others to

become better prepared is so important to me.

I hope you will take the time to review

last year's posts.

Up-date your kits, practice fire safety,

earthquake safety, and emergency evacuations,

as well as practicing provident living.

I only have 8 more days until my oldest son leaves

for his mission.  WOWWIE!

I'm hoping life will settle back into some kind

of a routine shortly after so that I can get back to posting

on a regular basis!

When that happens . . .

You Can Look Forward To Seeing:

The rest of the Bag Meals,

Family Home Evening Lessons,

Preparedness Projects,

Food Storage Recipes,

Family Activities,

Date Night Ideas,

Gardening, Dehydrating, and Sprouting Hints,

Practical Preparedness Plans,

Organizing Hints and Helps,

More with Vital Records,

and

Holiday Games and Ideas.

I truly believe that becoming prepared is a process.

Make it a part of your day...

 EVERYDAY!

Each day we can do something.

It doesn't have to be an all day event.

It can be as easy as... checking the batteries in your

flashlight or taking a few minutes to  collect

some important documents.

Starting in May

I will give be posting a

Preparedness Assignment Each Day.

365 ASSIGNMENTS IN ALL!

Are YOU up for the Challenge?

I can't wait!!!

Check back later for an AMAZING IDEA

that I got from my friend Crystal Cheney!

(Who by the way . . . is a PREPAREDNESS ROCKSTAR!)

It's EASY and CLEVER!

This game is about as
EASY
 as it gets!

You Will Need:

1 Game Card per Group

and

Some Easter Candy!

Instructions:

Print, Laminate and Cut Game Cards.
Here's How To Play:

Have one person in the group

leave the room.

The rest of the people in the group will

choose one of the PEEPS in the squares

on the game card.

A piece of candy will be placed on each

of the squares.

Everyone calls the person back into the room.

That person gets to eat the candy from each square

until . . .

They get to the CHOSEN  PEEP!

As soon as they get to that square

everyone yells,

"DON'T EAT PEEP!"

and their turn is over.
A new person gets to take a turn,

a new peep is chosen,

and the process is repeated!

Your Little One's will LOVE this game!!!

As far as Easter goes,

we celebrate it in two parts.

One part is fun with an ADULT EGG HUNT,

and LOTS of ACTIVITIES FOR THE KIDS.

We love getting together and any extra excuse we can find to get

together and laugh and play as a family works for us.

Then comes the second part . . .

THE BEST PART

which celebrates the TRUE MEANING

of Easter.

I will be posting ideas for each the next few days!

I'm on the countdown with my missionary.

He leaves in 16 days

so when I can't sleep because I'm thinking of that . . .

I CREATE!

Should be a FuN couple of weeks!!!
