Freezer Inventory

To make things easy and to help avoid me running back and forth to the freezer I am going to be using this log sheet for my freezer inventory tomorrow and this one for my pantry. Organized home is full of great tips and resources that will help you get your house and life organized in no time.

I am planning on heading to bed early since we get up at 5:00am I want to be sure to be well rested. For my to do list I have the inventory of the freezer and pantry, regular cleaning and scrubbing the bathroom floors. I also need to get some stuff done in my sewing area because this week-end we will be painting Sydney's old room and moving into it. Our old bedroom will become my sewing studio!

I cleaned out some patterns tonight but I still have way too many and need to get more fabric sorted. Of course it does not help that I bought 66 yards of various fabrics today.

Eat From The Pantry Challenge

Ok.... I have debated about this all day and I am going to go ahead and do it!

Money saving mom and Life as mom are hosting a freezer challenge, the goal is to buy only produce and dairy if need be and for the entire month of January eat from what you have on hand.

I looked in our deep freezer, pantry, refrigerator and the freezer above the refrigerator and we are in need of cleaning out. I am not sure what type of meals I am going to come up with but I am going to give it a shot.

I will still have to take care of buying pet food, at least for our dog and a few toiletries but I plan to get them with ECB's at CVS.


My own goals for the Eat From the Pantry Challenge:

1. Take detailed inventory of my freezers and pantry. We have icky weather possibly coming in so this will give me something to do tomorrow.

2. Toss all the stuff that has gone bad or is unrecognizable.

3. Come up with a menu, hopefully be able to use much of what I had already planned.

4. Go to the store once a week for milk, fruit and veggies. My goal is to spend no more than $25 a week. I will let you know weekly how I am doing.

Welcome To Abundance

Welcome to A Year of Simple Abundance. I am not sure what the journey through 2010 will look like but I do have an end in mind. So if you would like, come along with me.

I cannot promise daily post, life changing projects (although some maybe), I do not promise to make you rich or help you save enough money to pay off all your debt, I do not promise anything more than to be honest with you about my successes and failures.

I hope along the way we are able to help and encourage each other. Please feel free to leave links, comments, tips and anything else you would like that may be of help.
