Just one more tip: Try making some Homemade marshmallows from Little Birdie Secrets to give away with your homemade cocoa mix, it'll be a hit!
Not Just For Storing has a great article about reusing containers for food storage. Check it out here.
Here's an entertainment book for kids from Self Reliant Sisters that would be great to stick in your 72hr kit with some crayons/pencils if you have children.
Totally Ready had an interesting idea to turn off the electricity for a day and see what you really need to do to be prepared for an emergency where you wouldn't have any power. Could make for a fun, family-bonding experience...or something, but better to experience it when you actually have a choice.

We've had to "practice" living without electricity twice this past week in New England. My recommendations - be sure to have batteries and a corded phone that doesn't use electricity. (Our power was out but our phone wasn't.) Thankfully we had purchased a generator a couple of years ago but even with that we weren't able to hook up our heat or the pump for our well. That's taken care of now and we're ready for the next storm (tomorrow). There are still people without electricity in northern MA and NH. Pray for them.
Good idea about the bread. That sounds so yummy!
I can't tell you how much I have appreciated the wonderful, informative articles lately...especially the recipes!
Plese keep up the good work for us all! Thank you...
