Hoodsbee - A New Favorite!

Had To stop him as he was going out the door!

My Little Man has a new favorite hoodie that he refuses to take off. He says it is so soft that he doesn't want to take it off. He wasn't feeling good last night and slept with it. It is a Hoodsbee hoodie that turns into a new friend for your child. It folds up easily into a stuffed animal. It easily folds up , even the child can do it. I love it. Keeps him warm and is something that he can have when not using as a hoodie. It is very well made and cute. Everytime we go out we get comments about it and everyone loves it. This would make an awesome gift for the upcoming holidays. Any child would love one of the characters that they have in their online store. This would make any child happy. Plus it is an unique gift.

A Frugal Way To Redecorate!

Are you looking for a low-cost way to redecorate? I think I might have found a way. A discount store over by us has white wall paint in 5 gallon buckets for $10.00. Which is frugal right there. But. what if you don't want white? Use Kool Aid to make your own awesome and unique colors! Just take as much of the white paint that you need and add the packet of the color of kool-aid that you want to use. Add as much as you need. Use more than one packet for a much stronger color. This is a fun way for kids to re-do their rooms or to paint furniture. Easy and Frugal.

The Modern Prepper: Survival Tips and Techniques To Survive In Today's World

The Modern Prepper: Survival Tips and Techniques To Survive In Today's World was a free book for your kindle when this post was written.

Understanding how to prepare for and survive a disaster scenario can mean the difference between life and death for you and your family. Unfortunately, many families only have one member who is well versed in survival techniques. In most cases, this role is filled by the male of the household. Such a trend can be dangerous as dependency grows on one particular family member in the event of an emergency or natural disaster. This can be avoided by spreading the knowledge of prepping to those within your family so that they too can be empowered to survive. Canning and food preservation as well as urban survival play a crucial role in the basic techniques of survival prepping. Understanding these concepts and educating others is a necessary step in ensuring the safety of yourself and those around you. This book gives you a prepper's edge in times of uncertainty to help you teach every member of your family how to prepare and survive disaster. 

What To Do For Entertainment After SHTF?

Today started out as such an awesome day, perfect weather, etc. Planned on spending most of day at park. Well, son went out to go to Church and found that his back tire on his car was flat! So, he had to drive our car. He has been gone all day! We have been sitting here all this long long day. This has been just one day, what do we do for entertainment after SHTF? At least today , I have had tv and games, etc. Phone to call and bother people I know. Trying to keep mind off the fact that The Walking Dead season 5 starts tonight and I can't watch it. After SHTF we will most likely have no power, so stock up on puzzles, books, and board games. Maybe stock up on toys and such for the kiddos. You could start some crafts. I am starting to save t-shirts so that I can strip them up to make a braided rug. I want a big one! That will take most of the winter and no power to make , except my own! My older son writes and my youngest one loves to paint. So that is a good thing to have on hand. Maybe learn a musical instrument. My daughter was just given a guitar. That will be fun for her to learn. There are a lot of things that can be done after SHTF to keep you entertained. And to keep your mind off of the bad things going on.

Sometimes Things Actually Do Work!!

We had a really windy storm go thru last week and it knocked my umbrella style  clothesline over! I wasn't able to get it back up. So I brought it in and just laid it in the kitchen to wait until hubby got home. But, my mind is always thinking and I got to thinking I could put it up in the back bedroom that I had just cleaned out. I put a chair in there and tied this to it and set it up in the middle of the room. I Put a couple of heavy boxes on the chair to hold it there. It set there for a few days and yesterday I did a load of towels , took them in there and hung them up, and turned on  a small fan. Just went in there and they are DRY!! It worked great!! Another good thing is the heat vent is right under this so this winter when the heat is on it will dry even quicker. I love it. Last winter our power bill was really high because of having to use the dryer every time I did laundry. Now I can save some money.

Ebola: 50 Critical Facts about Ebola That You Need to Know was a free kindle book. I know I that I wrote yesterday that I was taking a break from this blog, but when I seen this free Kindle book, I had to share it. Especially with what all is going on in the news.

 “Ebola: 50 Critical Facts about Ebola that you Need to Know”
The 2014 Ebola virus outbreak has been the largest in history. Formerly, the virus was known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever; although these days, it is more frequently called as Ebola Virus Disease or EVD. The Ebola Virus disease is caused by any of the five strains of the genus Ebola virus. Each of these can affect humans, although only three strains can lead to disease or death. The present outbreak is brought about by the Zaire Ebola virus strain, which is considered as the most harmful due to its 90 percent mortality rate.
News about the Ebola Virus Disease spread very rapidly and was accompanied by rumors and disinformation. All of these have stuck fear and caused panic among many people. Currently, there is no vaccine for Ebola virus. The most competent physicians can only do as much as providing intensive patient care such as administration of intravenous fluids and keeping optimal oxygen levels, blood pressure and temperature. Scientific and medical experts are still attempting to discover and invent a vaccine against the deadly virus.
There are some scientists who have developed vaccines that are promising, although these are not yet tested and can provide no guaranties. Furthermore, a lot of questions about the deadly disease still remain unanswered. However, there are some crucial facts about the deadly virus that all the people must be aware of including the disease’s history, symptoms, treatment as well as ways to safeguard oneself.
This book entitled: “Ebola: 50 Critical Facts about Ebola that you Need to Know” provides 50 of the most crucial facts about the deadly virus that every person must know. In times like this, staying informed is only the most effective means of defense to safeguard ourselves and our family from such a dreaded disease. This book provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date information on the Ebola virus and Ebola Virus disease.

Taking A Break From Blog...

It has been a busy time. I hate to say it, but I am needing to take a break from this blog for just a couple of weeks. I need to focus on some prepping and am having trouble with my computers. Our desktop finally gave up, it was 5 years old. And now this laptop that I bought used is starting to act up and freeze etc. We are also needing to get some preps ready and done for winter.

I have a ton of information in the Archives:

WOW I have had this blog for a long time. That is another reason I am wanting to take a break, my hubby made a comment to my older son and me on Saturday. "If the SHTF you guys would be screwed and wouldn't know what to do with yourselves without the internet!" He might be right. I do get online a lot. Mostly doing research and every single bit of my family  lives out of state so I use Facebook to talk to them. I don't have a cell phone or anything like that so I am on the computer  a lot. Taking a break and focusing on homeschooling and winter preps will help.

Hope that you all will be ok and focus on your preps. Whatever type of preps you are prepping for get them done. Focus on your family and your preps. Get you heads out of the TV and computer.

Love to all of you!
