Dear FlyLady,
Last week our Zone was the kitchen, so I decided to clean behind my large chest freezer for 15 minutes. While doing this I stepped in a puddle of water due to the fact that I have NEVER defrosted it (We have had the freezer for about 4-5 years). So needless to say, my 15 minutes turned into about a 3 hour ordeal. I have been flying for about 4 – 5 months but still consider myself a FlyBaby.
I did not handle this freezer thing very well at all. BUT, I did it AND, because of FlyLady, I did three things. I basically had a 27 fling boogie out of my freezer AND I wrote everything down that was in my freezer and put the list in the back of my Control Journal. Now when I take something out or put something in, I write it down. I did this in pencil to make it easier. You know, I have a lot of meals in there! LOL The third thing I did was mark my calendar for 6 months from now to check the freezer to be defrosted again! (BEFORE is gets a 2 inch layer of ice in it!)
My DH has commented about our house more than once. We are moving in 2 years and he keeps saying if I keep making the house look so good, he may not want to move. But we have already bought our property so I think I am safe! I can’t wait to fly in my new home!
Thank you!

FlyLady Here: When was the last time you took an inventory of your freezer. Occasionally It is a good idea to take a couple of weeks and eat out of your freezer. Now would not be a bad time to do this. Many of us are stocking up for the holidays and needing to save some money. Spend 15 minutes taking your freezer and pantry inventory then make your menus from what you already have on hand. Have fun! Get out your crock pots. They can take freezer burned foods and turn them into beautiful broths and stews.
For some ideas for these crockpot meals check out our website. I am cooking from our pantry and freezer! I found a bag of dried kidney beans and frozen hamburger. It was really cold last night and I think a pot of chili would taste pretty good! YUM!
