11 Reasons To Do Jigsaw Puzzles

11 Reasons To Do Jigsaw Puzzles - Saving Advice  

I love doing puzzles and pick them up at yard sales and thrift stores any time I see one! I have even been very lucky and have gotten a lot that are new and never opened. They are fun to do and it is something that the whole family can get into. All though I have a stepson that every time he comes over and sees a puzzle out he will take a piece. Thinks he is being funny. Gives it to me later after I have already done the puzzle with the last piece missing. LOL

My Son Got Into The Food Storage Last Night! Found Out Food Storage Does Not Have To Be Boring!

And it actually turned out really good. He did not find any of the stockpiled sweets!! He was bored and just went to the food storage and grabbed a couple of cans of stuff and we ended up having Chicken Curry last night for dinner. Ate it over rice. I was so surprised. Just a couple of cans of stuff and some spices and my son made something that I NEVER would have thought to make. Just goes to show you that food storage does not have to be boring. He did start to get a can of Keystone chicken , but I had some chicken breast in the fridge that I made him use. Have to use the perishables first! So he threw everything into a pan. Chicken breast, can of diced tomatoes, 1/2 a can of coconut milk, one small diced potato, diced onion, and some spices. Let it cook and simmer for a while and we served it over rice. Not sure what spices he used, but it was kind of spicy. Not a bad spicy though. Little Man ate some and loved it. Ate seconds. LESSON LEARNED: FOOD STORAGE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE BORING AND TEENAGERS GETTING INTO YOUR FOOD STORAGE IS NOT ALWAYS A BAD THING.

Gadgets To Have When SHTF

If SHTF you might want some of these cool gadgets. They might make life a little bit funner and easier. Take some of the stress off for you and your family.

This Great Northern Popcorn Pit Popper Campfire Firepit Popcorn Popper - Theater Popcorn Outdoors! is something that I want bad. It would be so great to be able to make popcorn for my kids. That is one thing that they really like having.

I like this Esbit Pocket Stove with 6 Fuel Cubes. It is small enough that it is a must-have for any bug-out bag or vehicle survival kit.

Everyone MUST-HAVE one of these - AA and AAA Solar Battery Charger - Charge Your Batteries Via USB or Sun Power - Features Also Include a Battery Tester and USB Output for Charging Cell Phones, iPods/mp3s, and More!! I have one and it is used daily. Get some Duracell Rechargeables Batteries is AA and AAA and you are set. This comes in handy also because it will also charge the cell phones and mp3 players.

This Solar Powered Motion Sensor Detector Alarm is a great thing to have a couple of and set up on your house where it is hard for you to look out on your own. Lets you know if someone walks up on your home. Great security item that does not cost a lot of money!!

Everyone must have good clean water. In an emergency it might be a hard thing to come by! So this 4 Gallon Countertop Water Filter - Save $$$ - Transform Tap Water to Pure Healthy Mineral Drinking Water is something that you have to have. I am getting one and going to stock up on the filters for it for when SHTF!!

A good set of Wide Angle Binoculars could come in handy. Could use them if you have to go hunting or for safety.

A good Compass could really be a life saver. If you ever get lost having one of these would make all of the difference.

My son also said to have a bunch of games and puzzles , like Trivial Pursuit Master Edition to keep everyone busy and together. Games are a great way to pass the time. Maybe get some of those handheld games like - 5000 Games in One Pocket Arcade Handheld Electronic Game - Various Colors or a Electronic Connect 4 the Classic Vertical Four in a Row Game.

I am going to be making a faraday cage soon and want to put some of those handheld games in it too. Just little gadgets that would make kids happy and make life a bit more enjoyable for them. A Portable DVD Player could be something to put in the cage also. Have a movie night with the popcorn that you make on your BBQ!!
