First Aid Organization
We live about 25 minutes away from the closest hospital and it recently dawned on me that I probably should keep some basic first aid supplies at home, just in case. I found this helpful printable on Simple Family Preparedness and have been adding a few things to my shopping cart each week. I still have quite a ways to go, but something is better than nothing, right? I also picked up this first aid manual (affiliate link) and need to start learning! Maybe that can be a summer project…
Decluttering, Week Two
I’m starting Week Two of #28things7days with not one item, but one type of item. I have so many of those baby hangers and no more tiny clothes to hang on them! I’m thinking I’ll offer them on Trash Nothing.
Today’s Gardening Project
My potatoes are growing faster than I can hill them! Really enjoying this new method of growing so far.
Learning a New Skill
Multitasking at its best! I folded laundry while watching a free canning seminar from Homesteading Family. The training ultimately led up to her Masterclass (which I can’t afford right now) but it was a great starting point and I’m anxious to learn more.
Canning is easy… you can totally rock it. Easy things like jams, tomatoes, and apple sauce is where i started. It’s really not as scary as some people think it is. Canning lids have been hard to find lately, Amazon has them but they are a little over priced. Garage sales is where i have gotten almost all my canning jars and it’s the cheapest way.
Do you use a pressure canner or just water bath? She went into detail about canning safety and I learned so much about processing low acid vs. high acid foods. I had no idea! It’s a little overwhelming, but one step at a time, I suppose.
Also, garage sales is a great tip, thanks!
