Freezer Inventory

I recently have gotten into making freezer meals.  I put several together on a Saturday and then I have several healthy meals ready to just put in the crock pot or oven when its dinner time.  It has helped to speed up dinner.    But...  I thought I probably need to list what I have and what I use so that I will be more efficient every time!

I usually make about 4-8 of each meal.  They are good for about 3 months.  I figured this will help me keep track of what ends up being used more and what needs to get used soon!  If I make 8  I will cross of 9 and 10 so only 8 is showing.  Then when I use a meal I will cross of 8....  You get the picture.

While I created this for my freezer meals it could work to inventory your whole freezer.  Personally....  I would have hopes of doing that buy... realistically...  Yeah, not gunna happen.  LOL

I created this to match the 2015 Printable Planner.  You can put it in with that or magnet it to the front of your freezer!  What every you choose!  Scroll down to get the printable.

Scientific Method

This is a simple printable I create while helping the Cub Scouts this week.  They were earning their Science Belt Loop and needed to learn the Scientific Method.  I figure this my be good for teachers or homeschoolers too!

We did a simple science experiment with marshmellow peeps.  I set out glasses and several different liquids.   Ex; Vinegar, soda, water, soy sauce...  Then we pour a liquid in a cup and placed one peep in each to see which one would dissolve the peep the fastest.  While none of them completely disolved in the time amount we meet it was still fun to watch as we stopped every now and then to play games!

I had them fill out this sheet during the activity.

It will print two per sheet.

How Long to Keep Important Papers Printable

Hello!  Just a few days ago I posted my printable for our Family Emergency Binder.   It has everything you might need in it if you were in an emergency and had to uproot quickly.  Or...  If you are a military family like us, it is simply nice to have everything paper-wise and important in one easy grab and go location.

I thought I would create a simple sheet for you to have or put in your binders that lets you know what papers to keep and for how long.  Keep in mind that you may have different circumstances that require you to keep certain things for long.  This paper is a good general rule for everyone.  I got most the information from the IRS website.

Family Emergency Binder

I have been using a binder for all our important paperwork for several years now.  With my husband being in the military it is nice to have one easy place to grab important paper work.  Its nice when we are moving too!  I know that everything we could need, by way of papers, is in one place and won't get packed!  Unless the bind gets packed.

In our house we call it the BIG BOOK.  Big Book holds everything from shot records to family photos.  I did a post a while ago call VIP Papers.  I recently decided it was just time to update and go through the whole thing.  Of course in the process I did more research.  I took away some stuff and I added other things.  I thought I would share the new printable with you!  Link is at the bottom of the post.  Along with instructions.

Here is the cover I created.  Feel free to print this one or create your own.

Included is a Master Check List so you have one easy place to see what is actually in the Binder.  I would print this on white.

Every section on the Master List has a Divider Sheet.  I would print these on colored paper so that they are easier to see when you put them into page protectors.  I use washi tape to create tabs 

Included is also a Emergency Car Kit Check List, a 72 Hour Emergency Checklist, an Emergency Bin Check List (for things to big for the 72 hour kits), FEMA Evacuation Guidelines, a How-to Prioritize a Grab and Go List, A Grab and Go List, and Emergency Info sheet.  

You may want to print extra 72 hour sheets and Grab and Go Sheets to you have one for each family member.

I also created a simple ID sheet so you have this easy info on each family member.  I would create two copies of these and keep them together in a page protector.
