You've got this, Mama!
When we talk about sanitation in our homes, normally we think of keeping things clean, having running water, and working plumbing. While having a decently clean car may somewhat parallel sanitation in a house, the rest of the concept flies out the window! Did you miss the first three articles […]
When my youngest was about six, he and I would be out in town without his siblings. I’d often hear, “Mom, I’m thirsty.” Translated: “Mom, can we swing by McDonald’s and get a soda?” Ninety-five percent of the time, I would say, “No. I don’t think we should.” Then he’ll […]
Life Is Busy In a recent blog post, I gave you all a recap of what is going on in my life right now. My husband who was an elder at our church was recently made the pastor of our church. And for me, I’ve been immersed in projects. One […]
Check out the first installment of this series here. Now that we live outside of town, I find myself driving into town a lot. Like twice a day sometimes, and it feels like ALL the TIME. Most of the time, I have my littlest guy with me. He’s cute and […]

How much time do you spend in your vehicle? For most of us, it’s a lot less time than we normally spent in our vehicles last year. But that doesn’t mean that there aren’t days that I feel like I live in my car. Since I spend more time in […]
Do you ever feel “frumpy?” Do you know what I mean? You get up, you; throw on an old pair of jeans and a t-shirt. You’re clothed, but you don’t feel classy. You just kind of feel frumpy. A vehicle can be the same way. I wouldn’t necessarily call a […]
How much time do you spend in your vehicle? If I judge how much time I spend in my van by how often I purchase gasoline (I almost said, “get gas,” but that could be taken SO wrong!) I’d say, way too much! Am I the only one who feels […]
What do you think is the most important part of preparedness right now? Do you think it’s your stockpile? Maybe what’s most important is survival skills. Or is your ability to garden and cook from scratch what’s most important? Or what other things are important? There could be great arguments […]
