Who else is ready for Spring? I am excited about longer days, more sunshine, and bright colors! I feel like I have been in sweats or workout clothes all winter long 😅 I have a goal to step up my wardrobe this year and get a little more dressed up each day— but I still want to be comfortable 🙌🏼. I am a frugal shopper and I love a good deal! I will be sharing more of the looks I love and my wardrobe updates here on LTK. Figuring out my style in my 40s as a work-from-home mom has been a bit tricky! If you are in this same boat, I would love for you to follow along here at @foodstoragemama on LTK 🫶🏼 *I love all of the clothes I have in this photo and that I have linked! I bought the stripped blue collared sweat shirt this week— it is so cute! I have worn it twice already lol. I bought my normal size, but I haven't washed it yet, so we will see if it shrinks. 40fashion womensfashion springfashion 40sfashion midlifefashion foodstoragemama LTKSaleAlert LTKSeasonal LTKStyleTip

Our family LOVES Grandpa Beck's games!!

I highly recommend having one of these compact games in your car and your emergency evacuation bags.

You never know when you might need to keep your kids/family entertained.

My favorite bags to use for just about everything are on SALE again 🎉

I use this for the pool, beach, running errands, etc!! Awesome for road trips too. I love having a multipurpose bag that does not fall over and can be sat on the ground or in the car or on the sand truly these bags work for so many different things.

I am working on doing a major debunking and organizing project in my kitchen— I'm just getting started but it already feels SO good!

I have had this label maker for YEARS! It comes in handy often.

Below you will find the link to the label maker as well as the other organization items I am using in my own kitchen 🙌🏼

#LTKFamily #LTKHome #LTKSaleAlert

I'm giving my Kitchen a HUGE overall this month! I need to clean out every cabinet, shelf, and drawer!

I have found some awesome organization products on Amazon!

Follow along on Instagram @foodstoragemama as I tackle organizing my kitchen one section at a time.

Can you believe it is almost the 4th of July?

My family loves to get decked out in Red, White, and Blue!

I searched Amazon for some fun and affordable Womens clothing items for the 4th.

I can’t be the only woman in my 40s who doesn’t know what to wear or where to shop! I am on a mission to elevate my wardrobe and find clothes I feel good in again.

I don’t want to dress like someone half my age but I also don’t want to dress matronly either 😅

I am working on slowly updating my wardrobe, finding pieces I love, and doing this on a budget!

I will be sharing some of my favorite finds here on LTK!

Is your house driving you crazy too 😅 I have a BIG goal this summer to organize every room/cupboard/drawer/etc in our house!

I started today in my youngest two daughters' room— because it needed it the very most!

Decluttering and organizing feel amazing! I love a clean and organized space— but it isn't easy to keep it that way with kids 😅

I will be on the hunt for affordable organization supplies this summer. I want to repurpose many of the baskets, bins, and buckets we already have while adding a few more organizational supplies to our spaces as well.

#LTKSummerEdit #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKHome

I did a little spring porch makeover! It’s been cold and rainy but that isn't going to stop me from bringing some pops of color to my porch.

Most of my decor is from Amazon and Walmart 🙌🏼

The flowers are fake 🙃🙌🏼

Do you have what you need to cook for your family in a power outage?

Having supplies on hand to cook meals when the power goes out is a critical part of emergency preparedness!

I recommend buying an affordable Butane stove and fuel so that you can boil water and cook food in an emergency!

#LTKHome #LTKActive #LTKFindsUnder50

Walmart has SO many cute and affordable girls swimsuits! With spring break right around the corner now is a great time to do a re-fresh and grab a swimsuit or two for our kids for spring break and to use in the summer 🙌🏼

#LTKFamily #LTKSeasonal #LTKKids

I found the cutest quick dry dishtowels for $5 or less!!

These are a dupe for the viral dishtowels that are around $20 each 😱

I love finding great deals and I love a cute towel as much as the next girl, but $5 or less is a much better price point if you ask me 😉.

Who else loves it when things are organized? I LOVE getting spaces in my home organized, I just wish it wasn't so hard to keep things organized with a family 😅🙃

BUT having things like baskets, rolling can shelves, and more in my pantry has kept it looking tidy even when sometimes there are all kinds of things out of place (kids put things in the weirdest places lol).

I love having specific organizational items in my pantry because not only does it keep the panty looking nice, but it also makes it very easy to reorganize and tidy the pantry quickly!

I am on the hunt to update my wardrobe! But I want to do this on a budget.

I found these Spring Transitiinal prices from Walmart that I thought looked really cute, comfortable, and are affordable.

Have you tried out Walmart for Women's fashion? I feel like they have really stepped up their options the past few years. 🫶🏼

Do you have your documents stored in a fireproof case/pouch? If not this is something you should do immediately!

These affordable fireproof document holders are a MUST in my book.

I have one document bag and 3 pouches for storing various documents, valueables, and more.

It’s not worth taking the chance if you ask me, especially when you can get a fireproof storage solution for such an affordable price 🙌🏼

These purple backpacks are currently on sale for under $11 🙌🏼 these are a great size for kids 72-hour kits!

If you are putting together emergency 72-hour kits for your kids make sure you check out these 30L backpacks 🎉

*currently the only color on sale is purple

I love to organize and these multi-purpose bins are my FAVORITE organizational find! I love that I can use them anywhere in my home 🙌🏼.

These are the largest and most affordable hiking backpacks I could find for under $30!

I searched the internet for hours looking for the best deals possible— and these are IT!

The black packpack you can buy in 80L or 100L size and the others only come in 80L. If you buy the black back in the 100L size it will bump the price up to $32.

For my families 72-Hour Kits my husband has a large 80L pack like these. My backpack is around 50L, but I am considering upgrading to one of these larger packs.

*When you are putting your kits together, keep in mind that what you put in an adult kit vs a Childs kit will be different!

#LTKActive #LTKFamily #LTKFindsUnder50

I have rounded up several affordable large hiking backpacks that you could use for your 72-Hour Kits!

I recommend LARGE backpacks for adult 72-Hour Kits because in the adult kits you will be packing the majority of your emergency supplies for your families.

Small children will need much smaller and lighter backpacks than adults.

All of these hiking packbacks are over 50L and under $40

I know Emergency Preparedness supplies are not on your Christmas list… but hear me out, what if you added a few items to your families stockings?

So often stockings get filled will junk we wont ever use. This year why not throw in a few emergency preparedness stocking stuffers? After all some of these items could save a life in life in an emergency!!

#LTKHoliday #LTKGiftGuide #LTKSeasonal

Do you for your feel prepared for a power outage? If not, then it’s time to start getting prepared!

Power outages can happen all times of the year, but it is especially important to be prepared for a Winter power outage!!

I recommend you start with the basics and then keep adding to your supplies gradually.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKFamily #LTKGiftGuide

We just experienced an almost 24 hour power outage. Thankfully we live in a warm place, but it was still challenging to figure out how to have lights in the house at night, cooking meals, etc…

Thankfully we have generators so we got those going quickly and thankfully only had to throw out a few food items.

What would you do if you had a power outage that lasted days? Is your family prepared to handle an emergency like this?

NOW is the time to prepare for these types of emergencies!

I love these rolling laundry baskets I got for my laundry room! I have been eyeing ones similar at The Container Store for years, but the price was just to steep for me!

I was super excited when I found this affordable option!

I love that the outside of the fabric is a canvas material but the inside is coated so that you can get them wet or wipe them out.

You can find these at a few different stores (linked below). I bought mine online from Sam's Club. Did you know that you can shop online at Sam’s Club without a membership? You will have to pay a 10% surcharge if you shop from Sam’s Club without a membership.

ps- Sams Club has lots of great products in their stores and online! Also their yearly memberships are very affordable!!
