You've got this, Mama!
You never know when you’re going to be without water. Or even just without HOT water. I think I’m being prepared for some kind of water outage because I feel like we’ve had so many of them! One year on January 1st, our pipes completely froze. Today, I woke up […]
Oxygen, water, food. Those three things are the things that we use more than anything else. And when it comes to food, you likely spend more money on food and other items at the grocery store than on any other single line item on your budget. If you want to […]
We’ve all heard the laws of 3’s. You can live 3 minutes without air, 3 days without water, and 3 weeks without food. Water is high up on the list and unfortunately, we need it for so many things! It isn’t just for drinking. We need water to clean our […]
I’ve asked myself several times, if I had to start prepping all over again, what would I do differently? What would I do the same? How would I improve on my journey, if I had the chance? My journey started accidentally with couponing. I amassed a whole bunch of food, […]
