You've got this, Mama!
It’s so easy to think about all of the STUFF that we have to prepare, that we forget that we need to be preparing ourselves too. How do we go about doing that? You can find that in this blog category.
If I said, “Preparedness books,” what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Foraging, survival, fire starting, bugging out? All of those things are important to preparedness, but they only scratch the surface. There are so many other important preparedness topics that should be learned and discussed. Today, we’re going […]
We make decisions every day. We decide if we want to sleep in or get up early, and we decide if we want to read a book or watch a TV show. Should we answer a phone call or let it go to voicemail. Some decisions that we don’t even think about […]
I believe in preparedness. I know. It’s shocking coming from a preparedness author who runs a preparedness blog. But I think that sometimes Christians fall into onto of two categories. One group believes that being prepared is lacking faith. The other group understands that preparedness flows out of their Christianity. […]
These last two weeks I’ve been blogging more, but other than that, I’ve been doing a whole lot of nothing. I’ve been watching through Survivor, which has been a lot of fun, but I’ve not really DONE a lot. But something about the quarantine really really hit me today. We […]

Life right now is BUSY!! I’ve mentioned recently that I’ve been walking two miles a day. Besides the time to actually walk, it takes time to get changed and ready. It takes time to get cleaned up afterwards – especially since I’ve been mostly walking outside in the mornings or […]
I wanted to have an honest conversation with you guys (I hope you will join up in the comments) today about the hardest thing about prepping. So much of prepping is “relatively” easy. I’ve seen James Wesley Rawles call it the 3 B’s – beans, bullets, and bandages. Food and […]
Do you easily get bored with normal life? What about “preparedness” calls your name? If you’re like me, yes, you want to take care of your family. You want to “Murphy-proof” your life. Yep! Me too! You want to build up your skills so that you’re able to contribute to […]
Life Throws Us Curveballs And curveballs can make us feel stuck. While January of 2018 started with frozen pipes. In January of this year, we lost $1,000 in income each month. We knew that it was coming. We understood the reasons behind it. While we weren’t thrilled, we were okay […]
