7 Steps Week 4
Go back and review the list of seven steps for the last three weeks. Work on any or all you have missed.
7 Steps Week 3
1. Call your child’s school(s) and ask for a copy of the school emergency plan. If they don’t have one ask some specific questions. For some help in writing a list of questions copy the article Is Your School Prepared at www.TotallyReady.com If your school has no plan to notify parents in case of an emergency or to provide for a student’s needs during a lock down, now is the time to get involved in the parent club or to get a group of friends together to go and ask some questions of your school administration and school board. This is very important. Every day in the United States there are at least a few schools locked down. Be sure to set aside some time to discuss this plan with your children.
2. With your family, make a list of your 10 favorite meals. These should be the ones you could eat over and over again. They should include meals that would be appropriate for breakfast as well as lunch and dinner. Next compile a list of their 5 favorite desserts. This is a fun topic for around the dinner table. We will use these in coming weeks and months to accumulate your food storage. Place the list in your binder.
3. Add whistles and clothing to your 72 hour kits. (refer to the checklist you printed off and placed in your binder) For infants and young children make sure the clothing and diapers you add are at least a size too big. You can make too big work but too small is a huge headache during a crisis. And, yes diapers are clothing for an infant or toddler. Check them off the checklist in your binder when you are finished and note anything you may need to purchase on this weeks shopping list. If you don’t have backpacks place items for each person in their own large trash bag for now. Make sure you label the bag so it is not accidentally thrown away.
4. Get out your list of items that use electricity. Purchase the items you will need to replace the use of your stove, (matches, charcoal, camp stove…) and dish washer (liquid detergent, paper plates, cups and bowls, plastic utensils…).
5. Find out which radio and TV stations are part of the emergency broadcast system for your local area. Be sure to find out which stations will handle emergency broadcasts for school emergencies. Place this list in your binder where you can find it quickly when the need arises.
6. Contact a friend or family member living at least 100 miles away and ask them if they would be willing to be your family “Out of Area Contact”. They are agreeing to let you come to their home if you need to evacuate, make phone calls on your behalf to your extended family and to store copies of important paper and photos. Get a large manila envelope and write their name and address on the front. We will use this next week

7 Steps Continued
Disclaimer: Don't ever, EVER feel like you can't join in on the fun, catch-up, or get overwhelmed. Just jump right in and start! One step this week, 2 the next....
1. Collect items from around the house to include in your 72 hour kit. Some things will be easy, others not so easy. Make this a family activity. Go on a scavenger hunt together. Assign each person or each team items to collect and have them report back. Be sure you make it clear that items such as a toothbrush need to be new and not the ones currently being used by family members. This will not only make it easier on you to gather items but will also help children feel empowered. If they should ever have to use their kits, the effort they have made to create them will help them to feel safer and more confident. Don’t forget that not all backpacks are created equal. You may have several around the house that are not being used and now would be a good time to really evaluate whether they will meet all the needs of a 72 hour kit. If you already have 72 hour kits, get them out and check the contents against our checklist. Check any food you have for expiration dates and discard them if they are expired.
(This is a GREAT FHE activity!!) Our stuff was all over the place, different closets, drawers, etc. Now, it's all in one pile, ready to be sorted and refreshed.
2. Make a list of the items you still need to find or purchase to complete your kits. Place this list in your binder. We will work on checking off those items in the weeks to come.
3. Place a pair of sturdy shoes, not slippers or sandals, under each bed. If there is ever an emergency during the night - power outage, earthquake, flood, or house fire - having shoes handy will be very important. If you should be involved in an earthquake, tornado or other disaster that has left rubble around, never get out of bed without protecting your feet. As flood waters rise you may find you have unwelcome visitors in the form of snakes and rodents under foot. You will be so grateful for those shoes. Be sure children understand that these shoes are for emergencies. It always helps to place shoes under a child’s bed that they don’t like - they will stay there.
4. Make a list of emergency phone numbers and place it by each phone and also a copy in your binder. We will be expanding on this list for your 72 hour kit later. For now, create a list with the following phone numbers: Police, Fire, Doctors, Dentist, Optometrist, Hospital, Veterinary, Schools, Mom and Dad’s cell phone and work numbers, Family member who is close by, Neighbor, Clergy, and Poison Control. Having these posted will make life much simpler during an emergency when you cannot remember a number. This is also important for a babysitter. Be sure to put your address at the bottom of the list. If a non-family member should have to call for help they will need your address.
Fire: 911 or 480-503-6300 - non emergency
Poison: 1-800-222-1222
Highland HS: 480-813-0051
Gilbert Hospital: 480-984-2000 5656 S. Power Rd., Gilbert
Banner Gateway: 480-543-2000 1900 N Higley Rd., Gilbert
5. We have been advised by government officials to have a 3 month supply of food on hand in case of an emergency. With an unstable economy, natural disasters and the threat of a pandemic we need to make this a real priority. Designate a shelf or cupboard for food storage. You may need to think very creatively now… Can your extra towels be rolled up and placed in a basket in your bathroom, can they be placed in a storage box under a bed, can appliances and kitchen items you rarely use such as a roasting pan, canner, picnic supplies, or punch bowl be stored in the attic or garage? Try to create room in your home for food items and store non-food items in the garage or attic. The quality of food will be preserved longer if the food is kept at a cooler temperature. There is nothing wrong with having canned peaches stored in a bedroom closet.
6. This week, purchase 1 can of fruit and 1 can of vegetables for each member of the family. They can all be the same or they can all be different. Consider what your family favorites are and you may want to stock more of them. When you get them home write the date on the top of each can with a permanent marker. Last week we marked the cans in our cupboards with an X. You are now ready to use your stored goods in the order in which they were purchased. Use the X cans first and date all incoming cans from now on.
7. Think water. Review the entry on this site Water Storage…What if the Tap Goes Dry. This will give you lots of ideas. Now do it. Store some water this week. Remember you will need 1 gallon of water per day , per person and per pet. If your freezer is not full, add a block of ice (or a frozen jug of water), or bags of ice cubes. These will not only be good water sources when the need arises but also will make your freezer much more efficient. Don’t forget the water for your 72 hour kits. You will not be able to store all the water you will need this week but aim for a 2 day supply. Add this article to your binder.
7 Steps Continued
Disclaimer: Some of these steps MAY NOT be applicable to your family, it’s size, who lives in your house, etc. ADAPT. Be honest. Do what you can. That is all!
After you have accomplished your steps, reply to me ONLY and I will keep track. Something like:
“Done” – 4
I’ll take it from there
Our first 7 steps:
1. Make a list of replacements for items that use electricity. Get out the binder and note paper. Fold a piece of paper in half length wise. At the top of the left column write Uses Electricity, at the top of the right column write Replacements. Now write in all the items in your home that you listed as needing electricity (skip a line between each item -you will need the room). Across from each item list what you will need to replace that service. Your list might include: lights, refrigerator, freezer, oven, stove, dishwasher, well, washer, dryer, shower, furnace, air conditioner, radio, TV, telephone, clock, and can opener. Across from lights I wrote: glow sticks, flashlights, candles, and outdoor lighting (You know those solar landscape lights? You can bring those in at night and recharge them during the day.)
This takes 10 minutes max
2. Get a quart canning jar or other container and beginning today to empty your change in to the jar each night. This would be fun to do at dinner to help your family understand the concept of saving. You’ll be surprised, your children will want to join in too. It is amazing how quickly this will grow and trust me, you will not miss it.
(This is one year's worth....I'm taking it to the bank today!)
3. Purchase or collect the items you will need to replace the loss of lighting and news access during a power outage. Make sure you have batteries if you are relying on flashlights for lighting needs, or portable radios, or your lap top to stay in touch. Store your batteries with your flashlights etc. but not in them. I like glow sticks because they are inexpensive, don’t need batteries, will provide light all night long without the dangers of a candle, and they can be worn by children to keep them safe as they wander around the house.
4. Go through your medications and discard any that are past the expiration date. Make a list of items you need to replace and post it next to your shopping list, watch the ads and purchase the items as they go on sale. Medications in pill or tablet form are good for a year after the expiration date. (This took about 30 minutes)
5. Place a light source next to every bed. If there were an earthquake or power outage during the night a flashlight or glow stick would help to keep your family safe. Since young children would be tempted to play with these items place these in the rooms of older, more responsible children.
6. Get a permanent marker and mark all the canned fruits and veggies you have in your cupboard with a X. Make a master list of what you have on hand. -
THIS IS THE MOST TEDIOUS -
BUT - it is the foundation of your shelf storage. PLEASE DO THIS!!!! You will be that much ahead in the coming weeks.
7. Print off the list of items to include in every good 72 hour kit and add it to your binder.
Remember your dated opened containers of items you purchase only occasionally. Label a page in your binder Items purchased Infrequently. List items and as you use them up and need to replace them note the date on the item and how long it took to empty it. Write this on your list. Now you can gauge how many of that item you will need in your three month food storage. If it took 1 week to use a tube of toothpaste you will need 12 tubes for a 3 month supply.
Just an example...

7 Step Preparations
Tomorrow we start our path to being prepared in every way. This is an exciting time and an important time to remember what is important. As I've looked over the steps, they are easy, some take a little time, but anything worthwhile takes time! Here are some things you might want to gather before we start....you will need to have a few of them the first few weeks:
A binder - any size for now
Sheet protectors - not mandatory (needed in about 2-3 weeks)
A Jar - Glass, plastic...something you won't be using for awhile
A few Sharpies - depending on how many family members will help
That's it! Not much, but essential. More to come....
Until tomorrow!!

Tips to help this season
Ten Tips to Keep You and Your Christmas Organized
(copied from an article)
1. Set up a Wrapping StationFind a nook or cranny with a little bit of privacy and storage space—it might be a walk-in closet, a corner of the basement, or even the laundry room. Gather all of your wrapping materials there: paper, bows, tape, scissors, bags, and ribbon (now is a great time to inventory!). When you bring home gifts, assign someone who likes to wrap to have at it in the wrapping room. Wrapping gifts with small children can help them feel included in the joy of giving. The only trick to this is making sure the supplies don’t wander off!
2. Inventory Your Pantry
Few things are more stressful than finally having time to do some baking and realizing that you don’t have enough sugar. Or cream. Or those little crushed red and green candy sprinkles that your youngest loves so much.
Make a list of the things you usually bake, or things you would like to bake, and then take an inventory of your pantry. Do you have everything you need? This is a great activity to do with a budding homemaker or mathematician. If there are two cups of brown sugar in a pound, and we want to make three batches of gingerbread, which uses three cups of brown sugar per batch, do we have enough?
Look at your fridge and freezer while you’re at it. Do you have things for quick dinners on the go? If you’re up to it, go ahead and freeze some doubles when you have time. You know they’ll come in handy.
3. Plan to Serve
Most of us want to serve others during the Christmas season, but as schedules fill and stress builds, it’s easy to get to the New Year and be disappointed. “I never had time to give some service.” Hectic schedules can squash the best of intentions.
This year, make plans early to do something that will make this Christmas one to remember. Make a commitment, write it down, and enjoy serving others. You might ask your bishop what you can do for the ward, or sign up to help a local homeless shelter. Families with small children usually find that a promise made to the young ones does not get forgotten! Find out what good causes are happening where you are and make a date to serve. You will enjoy your Christmas all the more knowing you’ve helped others.
4. Jingle Those Bells Singing Christmas carols can actually help you feel less stress. So sing along—even if you aren’t the best singer in the choir. Experts say that singing encourages good breathing and releases endorphins, improving your mood.
Also a great mood lifter—exercise. Go for a brisk walk, play a game, or do some of those desk yoga exercises. Anything that gets the blood pumping will make you feel better, especially about those delicious and tempting desserts everywhere!
5. Nurture Your Spirit
Make time for prayer, meditation, and scripture study. It’s so easy to say, “I’m too busy—I’ll get to it later,” but the well-worn tools really are the best when they’re used every day. They help you stay on track with your priorities, and keep your patience with long lines or children with the “gimmies.” They can even help you take a deep breath and enjoy the holidays. Make the time, even when it seems like there’s none.
6. The New Switcheroo
Not the old switcheroo—this is the new one. Find a friend, ideally with children who are different ages from yours. Store your presents at each other’s homes. Not only does this keep the sneaky peekers from getting into trouble, but you and your friend can have a little bash to wrap presents together if you like. And if your children are different ages, her teenagers won’t care about the new doll for your little girl. Your preschoolers will likewise be uninterested in video games or clothes her kids are getting.
You might even try the stocking switch. Everybody knows Santa will fill the kids’ stockings, and most wives enjoy filling a stocking with little surprises for their husband. But who fills mom’s stocking? FlyLady Marla Cilley (visit flylady.net) suggests trading stockings with a friend. Set a dollar limit if you need to, and don’t peek at your stocking until Christmas morning. It’s just fun to receive thoughtful little treats from someone who knows you so well.
7. What Can Be Moved?
Look at your planning carefully and consider—what could be moved out of December? What would happen if you took the family photo for the Christmas letter in October? Or sent a Happy New Year letter instead? Is the week before Christmas really the best time to have a party? Some things can’t be moved, but some things can. See what you can move off your plate by doing it well before the holidays, or even bumping it to later.
8. Simplify Gifts
Elder Oaks has counseled us, “Remember, don’t magnify the work to be done—simplify it.” Take a list of your Christmas plans, especially the gifts you plan to give, and ask yourself how you could simplify. Is it time to do a gift exchange with your extended family rather than trying to buy for everyone? Could your children do gifts of service for their siblings or a video of Christmas carols for grandparents rather than buying or making elaborate gifts?
9. Consider a Screen-Free Day
Take one of those days between when the kids get out of school and Christmas and designate it a “screen-free” day. No television, no computers, no video games. Spend the time talking, playing a board game, or baking. You’ll be amazed how much this cuts out of your stress. You may even want to do it again!
10. Reason for the Season
Along with your regular habits to stay close to the Savior, look for ways to include Him in your celebration of His birth. Some families bake a birthday cake to eat Christmas day. Many do evening devotions of a scripture, a song, and maybe a story or thought. Whatever way you find works best, remembering the birth of Jesus Christ will make Christmas less stressful for you and those you love.

You might ask your bishop what you can do for the ward, or sign up to help a local homeless shelter. Families with small children usually find that a promise made to the young ones does not get forgotten! Find out what good causes are happening where you are and make a date to serve. You will enjoy your Christmas all the more knowing you’ve helped others.
4. Jingle Those Bells Singing Christmas carols can actually help you feel less stress. So sing along—even if you aren’t the best singer in the choir. Experts say that singing encourages good breathing and releases endorphins, improving your mood.
Also a great mood lifter—exercise. Go for a brisk walk, play a game, or do some of those desk yoga exercises. Anything that gets the blood pumping will make you feel better, especially about those delicious and tempting desserts everywhere!
5. Nurture Your Spirit
Make time for prayer, meditation, and scripture study. It’s so easy to say, “I’m too busy—I’ll get to it later,” but the well-worn tools really are the best when they’re used every day. They help you stay on track with your priorities, and keep your patience with long lines or children with the “gimmies.” They can even help you take a deep breath and enjoy the holidays. Make the time, even when it seems like there’s none.
6. The New Switcheroo
Not the old switcheroo—this is the new one. Find a friend, ideally with children who are different ages from yours. Store your presents at each other’s homes. Not only does this keep the sneaky peekers from getting into trouble, but you and your friend can have a little bash to wrap presents together if you like. And if your children are different ages, her teenagers won’t care about the new doll for your little girl. Your preschoolers will likewise be uninterested in video games or clothes her kids are getting.
You might even try the stocking switch. Everybody knows Santa will fill the kids’ stockings, and most wives enjoy filling a stocking with little surprises for their husband. But who fills mom’s stocking? FlyLady Marla Cilley (visit flylady.net) suggests trading stockings with a friend. Set a dollar limit if you need to, and don’t peek at your stocking until Christmas morning. It’s just fun to receive thoughtful little treats from someone who knows you so well.
7. What Can Be Moved?
Look at your planning carefully and consider—what could be moved out of December? What would happen if you took the family photo for the Christmas letter in October? Or sent a Happy New Year letter instead? Is the week before Christmas really the best time to have a party? Some things can’t be moved, but some things can. See what you can move off your plate by doing it well before the holidays, or even bumping it to later.
8. Simplify Gifts
Elder Oaks has counseled us, “Remember, don’t magnify the work to be done—simplify it.” Take a list of your Christmas plans, especially the gifts you plan to give, and ask yourself how you could simplify. Is it time to do a gift exchange with your extended family rather than trying to buy for everyone? Could your children do gifts of service for their siblings or a video of Christmas carols for grandparents rather than buying or making elaborate gifts?
9. Consider a Screen-Free Day
Take one of those days between when the kids get out of school and Christmas and designate it a “screen-free” day. No television, no computers, no video games. Spend the time talking, playing a board game, or baking. You’ll be amazed how much this cuts out of your stress. You may even want to do it again!
10. Reason for the Season
Along with your regular habits to stay close to the Savior, look for ways to include Him in your celebration of His birth. Some families bake a birthday cake to eat Christmas day. Many do evening devotions of a scripture, a song, and maybe a story or thought. Whatever way you find works best, remembering the birth of Jesus Christ will make Christmas less stressful for you and those you love.
Just a Warning !!
If you think you’re paying too much for groceries right now, just wait a few more months.
Economists are predicting a 7% increase in food prices at the beginning of the New Year.
Economists say the increased cost of feed for chickens, hogs and cattle is to blame.
Aside from costs, there’s also less meat on the retail market and less animal products like eggs and milk.
The 7% increase would spike up prices by quite a bit. For instance, milk that costs $1.86 would likely cost $1.98. Eggs would be $1.91 instead of $1.79 and bread would jump up by 21 cents.
Stock your pantry shelves now!

Make-Up Heaven
Nordstrom is changing the logo on their makeup, so they're selling everything for $1!!! The make-up line e.l.f. (eyes-lips-face) has been bought out by Nordstrom and will be re-packaged with the Nordstrom name on it. They are getting rid of all the make-up in e.l.f. packaging. They are selling everything for $1. You do have to pay shipping though. They have everything - powder, mascara, lipstick, a mineral line (100% natural), brushes & cases, nail polish, lotions, you name it - it's there. The website is: http://www.eyeslipsface.com/
Just start clicking on whatever you are interested in. When you add it to your shopping cart, the price is $1. When you check out, there is a space for a coupon code. Use "CAROLINA" and save an additional $7.50 if your order is over $15.00. I haven't ever used this line before but hey, for a dollar mascara it can't be too bad!! They even had tweezers and eyelash curlers for a dollar! Thought you might want to check it out, especially with the holidays near, we can all use a good sale right!? :) It would be good stocking stuffers!!

Toss around these Tips
And you thought it was just for your dryer!!
1. It will chase ants away when you lay a sheet near them. It also repels mice.
2. Spread sheets around foundation areas, or in trailers, or cars that are sitting and it keeps mice from entering your vehicle.
3. It takes the odor out of books and photo albums that don't get opened too often.
4. It repels mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when outdoors during mosquito season.
5. Eliminate static electricity from your television (or computer) screen.
6. Since Bounce is designed to help eliminate static cling, wipe your television screen with a used sheet of Bounce to keep dust from resettling.
7. Dissolve soap scum from shower doors. Clean with a sheet of Bounce
8. To freshen the air in your home - Place an individual sheet of Bounce in a drawer or hang in the closet.
9. Put Bounce sheet in vacuum cleaner.
10. Prevent thread from tangling. Run a threaded needle through a sheet of Bounce before beginning to sew.
11. Prevent musty suitcases. Place an individual sheet of Bounce inside empty luggage before storing.
12. To freshen the air in your car - Place a sheet of Bounce under the front seat.
13. Clean baked-on foods from a cooking pan. Put a sheet in a pan, fill with water, let sit overnight, and sponge clean. The anti-static agent apparently weakens the bond between the food and the pan.
14. Eliminate odors in wastebaskets. Place a sheet of Bounce at the bottom of the wastebasket.
15. Collect cat hair. Rubbing the area with a sheet of Bounce will magnetically attract all the lose hairs.
16. Eliminate static electricity from Venetian blinds. Wipe the blinds with a sheet of Bounce to prevent dust from resettling
17. Wipe up sawdust from drilling or sand papering. A used sheet of Bounce will collect sawdust like a tack cloth.
18. Eliminate odors in dirty laundry. Place an individual sheet of Bounce at the bottom of a laundry bag or hamper.
19. Deodorize shoes or sneakers. Place a sheet of Bounce in your shoes or sneakers overnight
20. Golfers put a Bounce sheet in their back pocket to keep the bees away.
21. Put a Bounce sheet in your sleeping bag and tent before folding and storing them. It will keep them smelling fresh
22. Wet a Bounce sheet, hose down your car, and wipe lovebugs off easily with the wet Bounce.
