This is the second in the Preparedness Series that I have decided to start blogging about on Mondays. I am not sure how long the series will go for, but I am excited to share my journey with you all! Why am I preparing? When I started storing more food and non-perishables, I didn’t think of it as preparing. I knew what life was like with no money and/or very little income coming into the household. I knew how helpless…
For preparedness this week or the last two weeks, however you look at it, has been going a little slow. I have accomplished a few things though! I have added to our water storage.

In my view, the differences would be: Prepping involves the thinking that something is going to happen that will be catastrophic. For example, the government will collapse (I see this happening); solar flares or…
So far, so good on the no spending for July and August! We had one of the weekends I blogged about earlier and had a mini vacation weekend. Most of the ideas were Rob’s and he, very generously, took care of most of it! I was surprised and enjoyed it all the more! We built a fire, had smores, and lit some fireworks Saturday night. Sunday we took the kids to Cars 2 in 3D at the movie theater. Then…
