You've got this, Mama!
So I’ve worked through creating this series for National Preparedness Month, and I’ve had to ask myself some questions –  What things were the most important to me? What things did I use the most? Are there things that I think could be the difference between life and death that […]
When I was 20 years old, I felt invincible. Even at 35, it still felt like I was going to live forever. As I passed 40 and then 45, life feels different. I’m starting to slow down. I’ve started to feel my frailties. I’ve been out to Kansas City doing […]
When we consider financial preparedness, it is so easy to sit in our homes, watching our TV’s (or computers) and to belly-ache about how costs are rising or how it’s hard to make ends meet. It’s both as simple as income vs. outgo and NOT as simple as income vs. […]

Prepping has come into its own in the past few years as more and more people realize the importance of systematically and logically storing food and supplies for their families. And it’s not just for doomsday situations either – having extra goods set aside for your family gives you peace […]
“Mom, I’m boooooooored! What can I do?” If you’re a mom, I’m sure you’ve NEVER heard that statement. Games are one way to help keep your boredom at arm’s length from your kids as this summer winds down. So, join us today as we talk about five fun and educational […]
If I could characterize the last year in one word, it would be change. If I could characterize it in a phrase, it would be God’s faithfulness. As of the beginning of May 2024, my husband stepped down from his position as pastor of our church. This was the big […]
