We all have read the articles about people who prepare for an EMP (electromagnetic pulse), financial collapse, natural disaster, even the zombie apocalypse. People are stock piling food, water, self defense items. Having bug out bags and locations. All of this is not a bad thing, on the contrary it is wise to be prepared. […]
We live in a very noisy world. TV, radio, video games, ear buds in the ears playing music or audio books some sort of manufactured noise is usually going on around us. This noise allows for your mind to stay distracted, sometimes to the point of avoiding meaningful deep thought, that of things you might […]
The reason I purchased my home was based on location to my elderly parents. They are both in their 80′s and I made a choice to live close to them and not having them live under my roof. It was a win/win for both of us. They don’t lose their independence, I don’t go crazy […]
Yesterday while walking through the grocery store parking lot I heard a father yelling at his son to come over to the car. I mean he was yelling. The son looked to be about four maybe five, too young to not have had a parent holding his little hand in the first place in a […]
Technology is all is all around us, from our smart phones, tablets, notebooks, Wi-Fi connections, internet, etc. Where ever we turn we either use it or use something that uses it.

Ladies, we know bags. Hand bags, diaper bags, carry-on bags, bags for the kids, general luggage and more. You name it and you probably have a bag for each occasion…or do you? How many of you have a “Get Home Bag”? Some of you may even be asking, what is a get home bag. Good […]
Self-Reliance is more than just stocking up on stuff. It is about living life as smart as possible. So many women are smart about planning their day, grocery list, doctor appointments and the like. It amazes me how many self-proclaimed self-sufficient women are financially drowning. You can’t successfully prepare to survive if your financial house […]
Being self-reliant is more than knowing how to make your own coffee if Starbucks goes out of business. It is more than storing food or knowing how to grow your own food. It’s more than harvesting rain water, or having lots of guns and ammo. It is more than reading a book on survival or […]
Emergency Food Storage Ideas
