The Porter House: Family Preparedness Planner

Family Preparedness Planner

Our ward has been talking a lot about emergency preparedness. It has really motivated Ryan and I to start working on our food storage, 72-hour kits and the what-not. My past ward (Charlottesville 2nd) gave each of us a Family Preparedness Planner with a week-by-week implementation plan to get a family ready for a disaster in 52 weeks. Ryan and I are now working on this. We are loving it and it makes us feel great to know we would be ready for any type of disaster. Anyway, the reason I am writing about this is to share this planner with anyone who wants it. I just typed it up for my Relief Society sisters and could send any of you the e-mail attachment on Word. Just leave me a comment or send me an e-mail and let me know if you're interested.

Becky R. said...: Hey Kim, would you send it to me? I kinda saw the tail end of it, but no one really every explained what exactly it was. Its nice feeling like you're at least prepared if something were to happen. I'm so glad you like AZ, and I hope everything continues to go well with you and the baby.; June 18, 2008 at 3:02 PM

I am a happy, positive person. I worked as a elementary teacher for 6 years. But, I have always wanted to be a wife and stay-at-home mom. Even though my life is full of stress & hum-drum duties, I feel extremely blessed.

I love to blog. It brings together my love of journaling (since I was 7 years old!) and taking pictures. My favorite things are playing with my kids, going for "family outings", running, lifting weights, playing tennis, and Zumba. I also like playing the piano and am currently learning the guitar.

Kids Say the Darndest Things!

"Mom, I painted at school today. I chose red which is a mono chromatic color!"
"Mom, Josh throwed pie in my face!" -Nathan after Josh pretended to throw pie in his face.
"Mom, that's gifusking!" -Nathan
Josh likes to say "Meow" randomly. At dinner time he said this, then I said "neigh" and Ryan said "woof". Nate then chimed in and said, "moo!" with a big ol' grin on his face. It was our first official dinner conversation as a family of 4!
"Jesus died on the cross 3 times...once the first day, once the second day, and once the third day." (when summarizing our FHE Easter lesson)
"Let's turn the dark on."
"Mommy, where does Jesus live?" "Ummm...." "He lives in the temple, Mommy!"
"Mommy, are you a princess?" "Yes I am a princess, are you my prince?" "No, I'm a Big Boy!"
The trend continues..."Josh, what do you want for dinner?" "Food."
"Josh, what do you want for Christmas from Santa?" "Christmas presents!!"
When asked what Josh wanted to be for Halloween, his reply was, "A Costume".
"Mom, he's a REAL baby (talking about Nathan)."
"It's higher and higher...I can't reach it!"
"Naters...you my friend...you my best friend."
"Look, Mom...it's a banana moon!"
