Check out my post at Utah Preppers for some important information for anybody storing Survival Seeds. Mine were sealed in a can with an oxygen absorber and kept relatively cool and definitely dry throughout their storage. They are 9 years old, and I’m planting them this year and have a few results already. Read the […]

Here’s a Mother’s Day treat for all you moms out there! (I never sound like this by the way. Really. Just don’t ask my kids to verify that.) Keep preparing!

Planting and Transplanting Seedlings
Approximately 4 weeks ago I started some seedlings for my vegetable garden. (That’s how far behind I am–I’m just now putting it on here!) Gardening is not really my forte. I am a lover of the greenhouse and their perfect little plants, and have always been a bit intimidated at starting my own, so I […]
Chickies!
Our local farm/ranch store was supposed to get a boatload of little chicks yesterday, so I was going to pick me up a few, but when I called them in the morning, they said the shipment wasn’t coming until next week–bummer! But it just so happened I had to go “over the mountain” yesterday to […]
Knitted Swiffer Cover
Well, look at what my crafty mom has been up to! I cannot crochet more than a chain stitch which gets me nothing but a long fat piece of yarn, and knitting needles would be more useful to me as chopsticks, but my mom is so talented (and frugal), she knitted herself a swiffer broom […]
Catch Up (not Ketchup)
A post with a bunch of randomness thrown together (aka “what’s been going on around here”). I’ve been using the soap I made with my church girls. It’s pretty nice, but could have used more essential oil. When I put it in I didn’t measure how much I added, and the whole church kitchen smelled […]
Is This Some Kind of a Joke??
Went to bed last night planning on getting my little Gurney’s baby replacement trees/berries/grapes put in the ground this morning and this is what I woke up to:What kind of April Fool’s joke is this??? Maybe it will get better when the sun comes up and it could melt the snow I thought, but by […]
Cleaning Out the Freezer and Ode to My Foodsaver
Spent most of yesterday cleaning out our two freezers. I think Someone’s been hearing my grumblings about eating elk for every meal, because in the last two weeks we’ve been given ground beef (yep real beef, not ground venison or elk) and various cuts of pork from other people’s freezer cleanouts. And this last round […]
Practically Free Garden Weed Barrier
We actually had a couple of days last week warm enough to get outside and accomplish something (I’m kind of a wimp in the cold). I started with my mini herb garden. I only have 3 herbs in it and have had plans on expanding it for at least 2 years, but it just hasn’t […]
Been Busy–Planning and Fixing
If you haven’t hit the polls yet, they end tonight, so swing on over to the sidebar and give your answers! Now on to your regularly scheduled post . . . I think I’m turning into my mother. Not that it’s a bad thing, she’s amazing. But she has a bunch of chickens, and I […]
