Today is the last day of my 31 day preparedness challenge. I hope you’ve enjoyed this. Feel free to read the entire 31 days by clicking here. Can you really be prepared for anything? Yes. Kinda. We can take a look at the past and realize that history absolutely repeats itself, then be prepared for […]
How’s your daily schedule look? I’m guessing pretty crazy. Or maybe it’s pretty chill. No matter how it looks, we all have 24 hours in a day. No matter what you choose to do or not to do, prioritizing is key. I have two children, a 40 acre ranch that we’re always expanding and seems […]
