Fluorescent Light Induced Migraines and the FL-41 Tint
This may be a bit off topic for the usual course of this blog, but I had to share an experience I’ve had in the hopes that it might help someone else. Ever since I was young, I’ve suffered from migraines. For the longest time, the only triggers I could pin down were lack of […]

What Kind of Prepper are You?

Happy Independence Day!
We’re headed up to play colonial people at the 1776 Village for the next couple of days. I’ve been sewing cute stuff to outfit the kids this week (they never do stop growing).

Last Week’s Preparedness Fair Update
After our little two-county preparedness fair last week, I got thinking. There are different kinds of preparedness fairs in the world.
