ReplyDeleteCultivate a spirit of gratitude. All other resolutions will flow from a daily appreciation of my blessings. Best wishes in the new year! Donna
ReplyDeleteI want to finally update our 72 hour kits - we have some, but haven't looked at them in a few years. My other goals focus around being a better wife and mother.
ReplyDeleteMy New Years Resolution is to get a full 3 month supply that caters to out family, 72 hour kits in order for each of us, and last but not least an emergency kit for our car. Cheers for being on the road to self reliance:)
ReplyDeleteMy family really doesn't do resolutions - we pick a word and spend the year trying to become that word both for ourselves and for those that surround us...My word this year is hope, my hubbys word is service, and my son's word is reverent. Starting in February we will have monthly goals to accomplish - I guess that might be resoutions - we just called them 11 in 2011....
ReplyDeleteReduce our food budget with better prep on my part.
ReplyDeleteRework the budget so my preps don't interfere with my DD's college tuition payments! And save for her semester abroad... that's coming up in January of next year.
ReplyDeleteMy goal for right now is just to survive! I'm pregnant with #6 and I just need to make it through the next four months...then maybe I'll think about New Year's Resolutions! I always have food storage in the back of my mind and this book looks interesting!
ReplyDeleteOne of my goals this year is put together a 72hr kit for both my husband and me.
ReplyDeleteLast year we gathered a pretty decent start up for regular food storage, but I think a 72hr kit would round things out nicely!
one of my goals is to be a better mom... enjoy my daughter more.
ReplyDeleteGet a tan. Seriously, this year I will be tan :)
ReplyDeleteMy goal this year is to "Do Less Better". I need to cut out the things that aren't making my life better and work harder on the ones that are.
ReplyDeleteAlong with all the things that are constantly on my radar (eating well, food storage, being more organized), I'm going to make a deliberate attempt to just have more fun with life.

I'm hoping to become healthier in my eating habits, to become better organized with homeschooling and to begin my food storage journey.
ReplyDeletethis year I'm going to take each of my kids out for a one on one date with just me once a month.
ReplyDeleteamy v. young
Buy our first house! 900 sq. ft. isn't cutting it.
ReplyDeleteBe a better person. Be nicer, more charitable, etc. There's always room for improvement!
ReplyDeleteLearn to enjoy the simple things in life and have a deeper appreciation of God's creations. I really want to take time to notice and have gratitude for all the "little things" we sometimes overlook.
ReplyDeleteI resolve to ramp up my long-term food storage ... and to ORGANIZE that storage!
ReplyDeleteI resolve to overcome my fear of pressure canners.

ReplyDeleteI want to start recycling again.
ReplyDeleteI resolved to make longterm food storage a priority this year.

ReplyDeleteThis year I'm trying to get more out of my reading, so I've compiled a list of books to read before the year's over. :)
ReplyDeleteI plan on finishing my unfinished projects. And finally unpacking all my boxes since we moved almost a year and 1/2 ago. . .
ReplyDelete-Krystal @ recipesofacheapskate.blogspot.com
I'd like to bake at least one loaf of bread each week. I would love to have this book! It's been on my wish list for a while now.
ReplyDeleteI have two main goals- We have a decent size storage but I want to rotate it better- The second goal is eating less sugary/processed foods.
ReplyDeleteSpend more alone time with each of my children.
ReplyDeleteOh, I am a resolutions junkie. Which one... Be consistent with weekly piano lessons for my two oldest (6 and 4). That is suitable enough to share with strangers :).

ReplyDeleteRead the Bible twice, perfect the art of homemade pasta, and organize my housekeeping better.
ReplyDeleteOh, and contribute to our Church's emergency freezer meal ministry every two months.
1) Pray more.
ReplyDelete2) Have more patience.
3) Be more organized.
4) Lose the rest of this baby weight.
5) Learn to sew.
As a mom of four kids I have a new goal I have never had before: to do less and just be there for my family. That's it! No hobbies, no to do lists (if I can help it), just mommy-hood. So far so good!
ReplyDeleteLose enough weight so that I can get pregnant by summer and not break 200 pounds by delivery (I believe in very specific goals!)
ReplyDeleteMy New Year's resolution is to raise a years worth of vegetables or to buy them local and not purchase frankenfruit or frankenveggies from the grocery store. Only local or homegrown for this family! Please enter me in your giveaway.
ReplyDeleteFinally take that photography class at the community college.
ReplyDeleteMine is "weight loss" as well, but my goal for the year is to achieve a Class 1 score on the US Marine Physical Fitness Test. It includes pull ups, crunches, and a 3 mile run. We have our 4th baby coming this summer so I have to get in shape in order to help take care of 4 screaming mouths!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great give-away! One of my goals this year is to purchase a freezer and stock with items purchased on sale!
ReplyDeleteto wake up my family to food storage and the need for it.
ReplyDeleteOne of my goals is to de clutter my house! Daunting but do-able! Another goal is to Use my wheat grinder at least once a month, produce bread with the wheat I've ground, also a daunting task!
ReplyDeleteOne of my resolutions is to blog regularly! no more doing a whole month of blogging on one night!
ReplyDeleteI have resolved to change my focus of my preps from gadgets to basics. I want to get my basic food storage started and have a 3 month supply for 2 adults, a toddler and an infant.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to have a good solution to protect canning jars during an earthquake! I've been thinking about a roll of quilted fabric to slip over each jar.
ReplyDeleteEach year for the past few years I have been choosing a skill to learn and this year I would love to learn how to sew!
ReplyDeleteFinally lose the baby weight since he's a toddler now.
ReplyDeleteOne of my resolutions is to finally plan my food storage and begin.

I want to prioritize family time this year.
ReplyDeleteMy resolution (or guiding direction) for 2011 is "Do What Matters Most".
ReplyDeleteThat certainly incudes food storage. :)
wordygirl at earthlink dot net
If I said "ditto" to everyone's posted comment would that count! I am trying to be healthier...in as many ways as possible. Physical, spiritual, and health all are cornerstones. If I could make better choices with this in mind, I would be on the road to more peaceful 2011.
ReplyDeleteA couple of my goals are to improve our grocery budget (really, stick to it) and reorganize our food storage.
ReplyDeleteThis has prompted me to think about making a food storage resolution. I resolve to plan more meals for my food storage and organize what I have.
ReplyDeleteI guess the book would help!
Make the bed every day. :) So far, so good!

ReplyDeleteResolutions: #1 is weight loss. #2 is follow the food storage building guidelines my friend Nancy just gave me--a very simple, monthly plan.
ReplyDeleteI am new to this and my resolution is food storage and find a job. My husband is self employed and with the economy still down our income has been decreased by more than half. I haven't worked in years and it has hurt me trying to find a job.
ReplyDeleteWould love to have a copy of this book. Can't wait to read it. ~ Nancy Hil
ReplyDeleteone goal is to cook more using more basic, natural food storage ingredients...I believe it will help with the other goals like budget, weight loss, and health!
ReplyDeleteGet a better handle on my financial resources by tracking spending.
ReplyDeleteI want to read more and learn a new karate move each month. Goals -resolutions.
ReplyDeleteThe "it's In the Bag" sounds similar to the old Make a Mix, where you have things pre-assembled. Good idea. I think that I would be more interested in the second section about the cheesemaking, etc since we have started doing that sort of thing. Would be a neat book to have as a reference.
ReplyDeleteI want to stock our pantry and also try making tomato powder from dehydrated tomatoes. We stopped eating canned tomatoes but I need a replacement, and I just got a dehydrator.
ReplyDeletea friend of mine gave me a key fob with this quote to help me be a better person Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. "Chuck" Swindoll

ReplyDeleteI need to redo our BOB's and car kits and replace or rotate the food.

ReplyDeleteTo spend more time alone with my husband-like once a month, we are lucky to get 4 date nights a year.

ReplyDeleteI resolved to try to do a little each week to keep up and improve my self-sufficiency skills and food storage program. I am attending my first ever "Becoming an Outdoors Woman" in March and taking a class on Turkeu Hunting and Dutch Oven Cooking. There is always something new to learn!
ReplyDeleteDarlene
Save money, menu planning and to buy an expensive emergency preparedness item every other month
ReplyDeleteI love making resolutions! This year we are "Resolving to be Ready" by making 72 hour kits, car kits and beginning food storage.
ReplyDeleteMeal planning is a resolution. My afternoons are so much more peaceful when I already know what's for dinner. whew - Friday is pizza night!
Amy
this year I need to eliminate the activities that take so much time and energy and don't add to our family's well-being. Going for the best instead of just good.
ReplyDeleteMy resolution for this year 2011 is to incorporate more nourishingly healthful foods into my food storage and to can my own meats, beans, etc as I find healthier sources for them!
ReplyDeleteThe desire is there but the energy zapping fatigue of my disability is making it overwhelming before I even start, please keep me in your prayers...blessings in 2011!

New Years Goal-i want to get out of debt, if i get a night job, we can do it in a year!
ReplyDeleteThis year's resolution is to get organized! Food storage is on the list, of course, starting with 72-hour kits.
ReplyDeleteMy resolution is to actually stick to my grocery budget :) And to have my 72 hr kit ready!
ReplyDeleteWhen I started long term food storage my three teen sons were home and I was still married. Now that all four men are gone from my home my New Year's Resolution is to continue the same amount of food storage to help support them as the economy continues to drop. It is easy to keep food rotated by passing on to their homes the items that need to be consumed right away. They are grateful as none of the boys have enough room to store food. I feel content knowing that I am helping them.
ReplyDeleteorganize my pantry and put more effort into getting my food storage
