You've got this, Mama!
First off, if you’ve been here for any length of time, you know I am NOT an alarmist. I want you to read this article in that vein. I am NOT trying to scare people. Instead, I want people to be informed and make appropriate decisions. Don’t worry about this […]
We have some fun family traditions. Among these are a New Year’s Eve feast of steak and mushrooms for the entire family. The idea behind it is that we thank the Lord for the blessings of this last year and look forward to God’s goodness in the coming year. Another […]
I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this before, but my husband is an elder in our (fairly small) Presbyterian denomination. This is one of the two weeks that the elders and their wives get together each year. So my husband and I are flying across the country this week – […]
The great thing about getting to the end of a year is that we get a real chance to stop and look back at the year that we’re just finishing. So much has changed this year, and I wanted to take some time and reflect and share some of the […]
Everything comes with change. Whether it’s a new year coming along or a child getting a driver’s license or starting a new garden. Nothing ever stays the same. Everything has a season of beginning and ending. My daughter recently asked me whether or not I would be happy when all […]

One of my greatest fears when it comes to TEOTWAWKI is that I’m going to be separated from my kids. If I’m out running errands in the nearby town that I do most of my shopping in and we experience an EMP while I’m out, I’m concerned that I won’t […]
Am I the only one whose kids grow like weeds? We just finished back to school shopping, for those of you who send your kids out to school. How are your kids doing? Are any of your kids already starting to outgrow some of their clothing? Maybe they aren’t already […]
Have you been here? You’re standing in Wal-Mart and you see that canning supplies are on a mega-uber sale. Do you buy them? I’ve picked things up, put them in my cart, walked through the store and picked up other things on my list. Then toward the end of picking […]
While some people could make an argument that I’ve beaten the “bugging out” horse to death, there are more aspects that we need to discuss. Bugging out will usually occur during short-term disruptive situations (SHTF-type situations).  For us, those situations were the Ferguson Riots and being hit by a tornado. […]
