Addictions, Cravings, and Survival
Take a look at your day to day life. Is there something you don’t think you can go without every day? Do you smoke? Enjoy your morning coffee? Have that cola/other beverage pick me up in the afternoon? Supplement every meal with some sweets? Or even have the drive to check your Facebook every 20 […]

Survival Situations: Power Outage

You can get non-hybrid seeds at a number of places–I do my shopping online, and a couple of my favorites are Hometown Seeds and Baker Creek Heirloom […]
Baby 72 Hour Survival Kit
Babies and toddlers have a whole different set of needs than we adults do when it comes to a survival situation, so your standard survival kit isn’t going to work for them. We’ve always just stuck baby stuff in our survival kits when we had a baby in the house, but this time I’m doing […]
