Starting Couponing!!!

I will be finding links for couponing and coops to forward my efforts on my year supply. We also have found a business that might work out to be really good for us to do instead or in addition to the year supply store. We have put it off just a little because we are trying to get Michaels business really strong and flowing before we put more energy into something else. Goals have changed a bit. I am looking for more resources of information to make gather the essential easier. I think that I need to have multiple options for people. Everyone goes about things differently.

Getting Closer- Setting a Goal!!!

We are getting closer to know what we are going to do about the store. I think we are going to do an online store first so we can see how busy we will be and how much inventory we will need. So much work to be done and not enough sleep happening to get it done!!!

In the next month I think we will be setting up our website so that is our First goal!!!!!

Still in the working it out in my mind. I am trying to see what is the most important to me so I can get started on something. I really what to get all my resources down on 1 sheet. That would help with the structure of my binder so I can refer to them and know I have the contact number handy. I really want to get the cookbook I was working on 2 years ago when my computer crashed. Luckily I got them transfered it only took me 2 weeks of 3 hour night because my computer kept crashing. I was desperate I had been typing them and reformatting them for 4 months and didn't want all that work to go to waste. They are awesome recipes that use ONLY year supply ingredients. Believe me we are going to be looking for variety. I say that because I hvae stared at my 2000+ pounds of wheat and said how much bread and cracked wheat can a person eat!! I really need to get my layout of my binder down.

My Purpose

My purpose for this blog is to follow my journey towards being fully prepared Spiritually and Temporally. Now the spiritual part I can't do for anyone but myself but if I get some AH moments along the way I will share.

Here are some of my projects that are going:
  1. Building a wall in my garage so I can have an air conditioned Food Storage room.
  2. making a Year Supply Binder for my loved ones
  3. making a Starter Binder for our store
  4. taking the steps to set up our store: business license, insurance, purchasing companies and storage to name a few.
  5. learning about ..... well to many to list right now examples are: how to build a cellar, or how to set up a trailer with solar panels, how to make shoes, how to build a solar oven, how to make wood pellets, how to make foam clothing
  6. building life skills in my family like sewing, baking from scratch (and I mean from scratch- grinding your wheat when making bread, making cheese and butter from powdered milk, and how to bake in a solar oven) gardening and organizing, being thrifty and a resource.
