You've got this, Mama!
Several years ago, a friend texted me around 8:30 at night asking if my oldest daughter could babysit her kids the next day because she had to go to a birth. She’s a midwife. But before the next morning, it started snowing. We were only supposed to get 3-6 inches. […]
I was having a conversation with a friend recently. She has, unbeknownst to me, been reading some of my articles on “Normal People Preparing for TEOTWAWKI.” She said she read through the whole article waiting for me to tell her what the acronym TEOTWAWKI meant, and……well…..I didn’t. So that got […]
Have you ever watched Doomsday Preppers? They paint quite a vivid (and not realistic) picture of preparedness – both survivalists and homesteaders. It’s kinda like the meme below. There are links in this post. Some of the links may be affiliate links. Some of the links may not be. My […]

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 […]
