Food Storage, really?



I have been wanting to do some kind of food storage for a long time, but I wasn't sure the best way for my family. There are dozens and dozens of different ways that you can do your food storage. I have been researching online and I even bought a few books from Deseret Book in the past six months. They all have very different approaches to food storage. Because I am in an apartment I would get discouraged about the storage space and just feel like it is impossible to do food storage right now. One day, when we have a house and more kids, then I will do my family's food storage. Well, the thought that I need to do it, kept nagging me. So, on and on I looked and finally figured out the best way to do it for my family. I first read the book, I Can't Believe It's Food Storage, which is really good and has some great recipes...that is if you have wheat and all the normal food storage stuff. Which I don't have. So, I read the book, It's in the Bag. Wow, never would have thought that you could do food storage that way. You basically put all the ingredients to make a meal in a bag and there you go it's ready for you, including enough water too. I really like this idea and so I am going to try it out. First, I am going to test out the recipes in the book to see if we like them. And get to work on our food storage. If any of you are overwhelmed by food storage like me, I could use the support and any ideas that you have. Thanks.

You are too funny. The bag idea sounds good to me. I am discouraged about a lot of things right now, food storage included...so you need to motivate me too. hehe

No Excuses

June's Cooking Show! June always wants to cook and has been begging me to film her cooking. I had a million excuses, but I decided that June didn't care that she was in her jammies. She didn't care that the kitchen had bad lighting. She didn't even care what she made. She just wanted to have her mom film a video of her cooking in the kitchen (like she loves to do with me). So, with my IPhone in hand and all those excuses that I created I threw them out the window and decided to STEP UP and be the mom she wants and needs. We made the first video in 2017 and she loved it so much. We got busy and made more excuses. June didn't give up though. She wanted to do another video. So, on a school night I wanted to make banana bread and decided that we are already making it, so I might as well let June make it and film it. June loves to cook and watching her video's. I love her so much and I want her to do the things that she loves to do, so, I will continue to not ma...

2 Years Old, Really?!

So, our little girl Cheryl Love turned 2 on January 5th! We actually have a 2 year old. Wow. It was so much fun. Cheryl loves monkey's and her new favorite movie is Jungle Book (if I let her she would watch it all day), so we decided to do a monkey themed birthday party. We had vines hanging from the ceiling and I even made a monkey cake. We had Bonnie my cousin and her daughters, Shaylee and Brooke and my cousin Adriann and her daughter Ivy and of course me, Nathan, CHERYL, and June. Plenty of people and poor Nathan the only boy. Oh well whats ya gonna do, huh? We had so much fun. We ate Jimmy Johns sandwiches(sorry Joi), and frozen banana Popsicles dipped in yogurt and they were really good. It is one of Cheryl's favorite snacks and healthy too. We played pin the banana on the monkey, without the blindfold. And of course ate cake and opened presents. Thanks to all who gave to Cheryl. Cheryl now has a big girl bed that she adores and loves to be in. Whew, I was so worried that...

Eternal Role

Today's Family: The Eternal Role of Mothers click on link to read the article http://www.lds.org/study/prophets-speak-today/unto-all-the-world/the-eternal-role-of-mothers?lang=eng I love this paragraph about mothers. "Among the most important roles of a mother is the call to nurture, Elder Ballard says. “A mother’s nurturing love arouses in children, from their earliest days on earth, an awakening of the memories of love and goodness they experienced in their pre-mortal existence,” he declares. “Because our mothers love us, we learn, or more accurately remember, that God also loves us.”" "Mommy, I love you!", Cheryl says as she wakes me up at 6:30 in the morning. "I love you too, honey", I say, as I hug her tight and never want to let her go. I will take those moments any chance I get, whether it's 6:30 in the morning or in the middle of the night while I am sick and holding my sick child. I have never felt that I truly found my...
