Kids and babies are often forgotten when it comes to preparedness. Kids live in an adult world and thus we think they must conform to us and our standards. However, it’s actually the opposite. We need to be aware of their needs and make sure that their needs are taken care of at all times, […]
You don’t have to wait until the holiday season or a birthday to give a gift. When it comes to thinking of others, we should be doing it all year long! Also, a gift doesn’t have to be an item, it could be an experience or education. I’ll give some suggestions below. If you have […]
Do you know someone who you’re trying to encourage to get prepared? Maybe they’re on the cusp but they just need a little extra push? Maybe they just need you to sit down and help them? Or maybe they just need some direction? Whatever the reason is for them not getting on the preparedness train […]
