How to Pack a Cooler

Prechill the cooler. Fill it about halfway with ice at least 20 minutes before adding your drinks and snacks

Source the fridge, if possible, add only chilled drinks and snacks. This simple step will prolong the life of your ice.

Organize items by meal or type, and use layers of ice or ice packs, placing frozen items near the ice. Ensure everything is in waterproof containers to prevent sogginess and keep raw and cooked foods separate.  Add a menu: Keep a list of cooler contents in a resealable bag on the outside of the lid so folks will know their options before they open it. —  Minimize air space and keep the cooler closed as much as possible to maximize ice retention.

life cycle

Busyness and fear constrict us in youth; fresh air and nature free us in old age.

TOP 3 House Rules

House rule number 1: If you open it, close it. 

This one isn’t really an issue because I wouldn’t return anything to a cabinet or closet open unless it’s supposed to be. I am overzealous about the refrigerator and freezer doors, though. Just the other day, my husband had to banish me from the kitchen; he was only trying to stock the fridge with the groceries he just brought home, and I kept closing the door.  

House rule number 2: If you turn it on, turn it off. 

I’ll take this a step further and say unplug it too — at least when it comes to the coffee maker and my curling iron. Even though both have an auto-off function, I don’t like leaving hot things on for longer than they need to be. I also unplug the toaster oven.

House rule number 3: If you unlock it, lock it.

No question here; if there’s a lock on it, I’m using it. I am militant in keeping the front and back doors of my home locked, and I also secure the car by pressing the button up to four times to ensure it’s locked and the alarm is engaged.
