Thought I knew what I was Doing

For a while I have been concerned about having enough to care for my family during a crisis. At first I was concerned about food shortages at the market or something, but I have come to realize this is about more than that.

If we were to lose our job, or my Husband wasn't able to work for some reason, I am no longer able to jump into a career that would pay enough to cover things. I also don't want to become dependent on the assistance that our government thinks we should all have access to. So, what do you do.

I started without really knowing where to start. Almost everything I read said you should stock up on bulk items and canned goods, but how do you rotate a 20 pound bag of flour in your pantry? No matter how much I have researched I have haven't come up with a plan that is easy to follow that won't make life any more complicated. So, I have decided to do my own thing.

And this is where it got me...


...completely random, thought I knew what I was doing, things!!

This will be my attempt to come up with a system that makes since, doesn't freak me out and doesn't cost an arm and a leg to do.

I have been working this out for a while, and now have some great ideas to make this actually happen, so I will keep you updated on my progress.
