Beginnings

A few years ago a dear friend gave me some information to help me restock my food supply. She knew that David had been on strike and that we were eating a lot of what we had stored. It has been more years than I care to admit and I still have not sufficiently restocked our year supply of food. Occasionally I have added a few things but not with any conscious effort. When we moved I got rid of our very outdated 72 hour kits and vowed to resupply those as soon as we finished unpacking. Three years later and I still have not gotten to it. Shame on me! For some time now I have felt the need to add to my blog a section that would help others and also help me be accountable for investing in my food storage. Talking it over with Toshia I thought it a great idea to start a separate blog independent of my personal blog and have information updated weekly for those who are interested in gathering their food supply. I will not only have what to buy for the week but hopefully helpful hints on storage, recipes and fun incentives for those who want to set the goal and complete your year supply. I have been studying for the last few weeks sites on the internet and going through mounds of papers I have collected over the years in Relief Society. I also welcome any comments or suggestions that might help make things easier for you and myself. I am so excited to start this. I hope it will help you because I know that it will definitely get me going in the direction I want to be headed with my food storage.

I will be posting updates on Sunday evenings. So starting this Sunday you will get the first installment of A Season of Plenty! I am very excited, have I mentioned that already? Watch for Sundays update and have a great weekend!
