If you're building your Ready-in-a-Year plan with us, it's time for your September tip! This month, we're going to prepare some essentials to tuck under the bed.
Why store things under the bed?

🔦 Flashlight or glow stick so you can navigate in the dark
🤔 What else do you have in your under-the-bed preparedness kit?
