The Prepared Vehicle – Stay Well Fed and Hydrated Even in an Emergency
When my youngest was about six, he and I would be out in town without his siblings. I’d often hear, “Mom, I’m thirsty.” Translated: “Mom, can we swing by McDonald’s and get a soda?” Ninety-five percent of the time, I would say, “No. I don’t think we should.” Then he’ll […]

The Prepared & Organized Vehicle – Putting it All Together with Simplicity and Style
Do you ever feel “frumpy?” Do you know what I mean? You get up, you; throw on an old pair of jeans and a t-shirt. You’re clothed, but you don’t feel classy. You just kind of feel frumpy. A vehicle can be the same way. I wouldn’t necessarily call a […]
Six Preparedness Systems for Every Vehicle
How much time do you spend in your vehicle? If I judge how much time I spend in my van by how often I purchase gasoline (I almost said, “get gas,” but that could be taken SO wrong!) I’d say, way too much! Am I the only one who feels […]
