everyone and welcome to my Friday in this video you are gonna see all of the
projects that I'm working on today I'm going to show you how I'm finishing up
storing all of that rice that I received a little over a month and a half ago
remember it was seven hundred pounds if you didn't see that video check out the
video above me seven hundred pounds of free rice I'm gonna show you my everyday
journey in life I'm going to show you my chores so this Friday I'm gonna share
with you all other projects that I needed to complete and they were written
on my list for a long time I hope you enjoy my video and I hope you enjoy my
day and I hope you get something out of this video that you can take with you
into your little homestead into your home wherever you are so take care
everyone we'll see you guys tomorrow I'm a morning person and so I like to do
everything I can in the morning then in the afternoon I will do a lot of my
commenting I would do some more editing of some videos and the afternoon my
husband is home so I try to have more time with him so that's why you see me
doing a lot of the morning work
I really love the new format because this is a little something for everyone
so if you don't like cooking or you don't like cleaning or you don't like
different things that I do it's always something different so it's not just
focused on one to one thing it's focused on everything so I hope that you enjoy
it as much as I enjoy making these videos there's so much fun instead of
standing at the kitchen and trying to teach I just show you all by what I'm
doing and hands-on doing things can really teach you so much more than if
you were trying to just stand and teach people something take my watch up I
think of my momma she always taught me
and I'll show you
don't stretch the bottom Tessy make sure you put three clothespins
one-two-three my mother was a perfectionist everything
was done properly and she always made sure that she taught me all of these
things tried to follow in her footsteps I admit sometimes it's really hard I'm
the kind of girl who likes to just get things done and my mother was very slow
but calculated and boy was she a worker a list of things that I need to get done
and one of the things finds me here on the pantry sitting on the floor because
I have so much stuff what I did was like was kind of putting stuff under the
table well it's time to clean that up but I wanted to show you a little bit
when I was working on so as you know the other week I was telling you about the
25 cent salsa so I went and got a whole bunch more of these for 25 cents and
they're not expired even if they were they're in glass jars and they will last
a long time at least a couple years past expiration date it's no different than
if you were to can them with your home canned food so I'm gonna go ahead and
we're gonna put all of these salsa jars away so what I like to do is every once
in a while I like to go through all of my things in my pantry and kind to
organize the jars because there's a lot of space here and there and that way I
have more space to put my things back also I have a lot more these Dollar Tree
little planters the first thing we're going to do is we're going to start with
is we're gonna take the bottom of these and I'm gonna fill them with dirts cuz I
got a plant tomatoes this week it's starting to look like spring here in the
homestead and this snow is starting to melt and I'm very very thankful for that
because it's been a long winter and I say that every year as a girl who loves
being outside it does seem like a very long winter so I'm gonna work on these
things and I'll show you in a little bit what I work on next
you
so here we are now I'm in this little section here that's been bothering me so
this is where the rice is and I showed you in different videos I got my pantry
all clean and organized I really want to work on this area so due to the kindness
of a subscriber I got some more Meyer bags and it was such a surprise to me
and I really want to thank her for getting them for me
so these buckets are not five-gallon so what I'm gonna do is I'm going to cut
these down and we're gonna use these so one of these is actually going to give
me two buckets full so that's great so these ten mylar bags you can actually
give me 20 bags so what I'm doing is I have my iron now I don't have one of
those straight straighteners that girls use I have one of these irons so that's
what I'm gonna use so I'm going to go ahead and we're gonna turn the iron on a
while I'm going to get a scissors and I'm gonna cut these bags in half and
then I'm gonna seal them so I'll show you how we work on this won't have
enough buckets to finish everything but I hope I have enough buckets to at least
work on this area right here then all that I have is this one area now I don't
have to have buckets I can store them in these mylar bags without buckets and I
might do that so let's see once what happens here finally we can finish this
chapter of all of this rice so it's such a small area to work on I hope you're
able to see so I'm going to take my iron and I'm just going to go at the very
edge of this bag because I cut it in here but we don't want to waste any of
it so we're just gonna go with the very end of it I always say I have a royal
mess going on but I got all the buckets finished I mean these lids are hard to
get on but they're sealed tight
all right here we go so I have one two three I have seven
bags of rice to do yet those are gonna have to wait until I figure out what I
want to do with them but huh we are done so I'm gonna label these rice clean up
this area and then show you what it looks like when I'm done I got my corner
cleaned up I have seven bags yet to do these buckets aren't staying here I just
have them here now but see I have this whole area now that I can walk this was
all full I could hardly get into my pantry and so I have my pantry looking a
lot better I still have a lot of things I need to work on everything you own the
cart on the right is actually projects for videos coming up so I think it looks
pretty good and I can call this chore complete at least for now from Fanny's
diary we are on March 15th in 1943 and Fanny writes today mother boiled three
kettles of soap I scoured the skillets and Anna Mae cleaned the kitchen floor
