This past week, we have been doing a lot of cleaning up and clearing out. Even though we didn’t have a lot of physical damage (only some trees, siding and a shutter) we did lose all of our freezer supply. That was a MESS! It needed a good cleaning anyways, so the children and I got to it the other morning before lessons.
And if you know us, that means it led to something else…
After I moved the freezer out and was draining it, I said. It’s pretty dirty in here. I would hate to put a clean freezer back in such a dirty spot.
And hence, the garage clean-up began! haha
btw, that is not our freezer above. Ours is NOT that pretty! LOL! Ours has been put through the wringer, but Praise the Lord, it’s still working… and we are GRATEFUL!
So now, with a very clean freezer and a somewhat clean garage (we didn’t get to finish before time for lessons). I now have to work on filling it back up and I am DETERMINED to do it much neater and have a system for what I put in there.
This is my plan.
If I have a big cooking day like I do sometimes, I will have a clip-board mounted beside the freezer.
If I make up 3 lasagnas, 2 chicken pot pies, and 4 bags of pre-made biscuits, they will be dated on the outside of their container and then also listed on my clip-board.
