The Storage of the Food Storage

After my sewing experience last week I was feeling pretty crafty so I picked up this while I was at the Fabric store Saturday...

I love these little recycle bags...now if I could just remember to use them.

The husband and I could not coordinate our schedules today for garage bonding so I finished up some organizing in the storage room.

BEFORE...

Last year I began relocating some of these from the storage room to under the ping pong table...and never did finish.

I know, I know! It's a weird place to put food storage, but as I see it, it would just be wasted space otherwise, and it's easy to see what I have.

THE TOOLS

THE PROCEDURE

First of all I transfered this wheat into these...

Then I brought all of the food from the storage room and organized it under the ping pong table...I put the food I use the most in the front so it is easily accessible.

As I was working away I happened to notice this...

This baby spoon has been missing for months.

Who knows how it ended up here.
Funny how the kids play ping pong pretty regularly and never bothered to take it out.

AFTER...

Now I've got more space in my storage room and all the food in one place.

D recommends we STORE SOME FOOD

For convenience, and economical and security reasons, many people have a supply of food stored in their homes.

The husband was pretty disappointed the garage didn't work out today, but he perked right up when I reminded him we'll get plenty of bonding in tonight at the baseball field--1 game for the 13 year old followed by another for the 11 year old.
