72 Hour Kits Near Completion- #8

Well, I have been working on these for a few days a little here and there. They are now completed with just a few things I will add over the next few weeks. We even completed a kit for Baby Titan! I feel much more prepared.

Baby Showers and More

Took some time the last week or so to do some fun gifts for a couple of friends in our ward. Last week it was Laura Kennedy's baby shower and so I gave her some handmade thank you cards, stamps, pen and onesies with a card that read "We want to be the 'onesies' to say congratulations!"






Then today I attempted to copy a gift that my neice Lacey made for McKinli's baby gift. Her's was darling with a large bath towel but mine didn't turn out as well so I made this one with 4 receiving blankets, four burp cloths, two outfits and a couple pair of socks. I just have to do something out of the norm!

72 Hour Kits-#8 to be continued

Sometime last week Matti and I took out our 72 hour kits to do a little updating! What we found was gross! I didn't realize that we had not updated the kits since 2003. Where did all the time go? Well, we had packed some dog food (which they encourage you to do if you have a pet) and weavel (sp?) had overtaken the dog food and made it's way throughout our 72 hour backpacks. Luckily, I had purchased some new bags which you can either roll with a handle (like a suitcase) or strap allow you to put on your back like a pack. Way cool and I got them on sale at Big 5 for under $30 each. So we cleaned up the stuff we could salvage, washed up the clothing and made a list of things we still need to add. We needed to re-do the "milk carton" 3 day menu and so that is what I did today. On the weekend I purchased what we needed and today put together the milk carton meals. Tomorrow I will add them to the kit and make some other changes (watch for update tomorrow). Here is what the kit looks like and I will send you the link to the menus if you just leave a comment with your email address. Since re-certifying with CERT in Riverdale, I have been eager to make sure my emergency preparedness is updated. I can sleep a little easier now! :)

Wall of Friends-#13

A few months after I moved into my home here in Riverdale (711 W. 4100 S), I put up some vinyl lettering on my bedroom wall above my bed. I have tons of pics of family and etc throughout my home but I wanted a place to put pics of my friends. They have been such an important part of my life!! It has taken me almost two years to complete this project...procrastination...but I finally did it. I envisioned it much better but the what I didn't project was the feeling I would have when I went in my room. I truly feel surrounded by wonderful friends. They say you are lucky if you have a couple true friends. I think I was blessed very abundantly with many more. I love you guys! Here is a picture of the wall shelf.

Power 90-#1

I am getting a late start but this is where I got the 90 day idea. I also heard that the Marines can make a young boy a man in 90 days through their boot camp. I hope mine is not as intense but I hope to see some results with weight, inches, body fat and muscle tone. I highly recommend any program from Beachbody. Contact me if you want to try any of their products. I can get you great pricing! I have weighed and measured and will let you know where I am at the end of the 90 days.

Maddox Ranch House-#70

One of my simplier things on my list is to go to Maddox Ranch House for lunch. My mom, sister, McKinli and Titan and I all went today. It was a spontaneous trip for my mom and sister and we had a great lunch. Love the chicken fried steak, rolls and etc there. No dessert...too full!

12 Temples in 12 weeks-#52

One of my spiritual goals for the 90 day challenge is to visit all twelve Utah LDS temples in the twelve weeks. Of course, I started with the closest one, Ogden. It was a rainy day and I decided that it would be a great day to spend at the temple. I had some great experiences I wouldn't have had if I had chosen another day or time. It was very rewarding and uplifting!
