  This saying is more than just a reminder of good manners for arriving to a destination on time; it is a moto of many a homesteader. Did you know that in the Great Depression, one (1) out of three (3) families were in agriculture. That's 33%! Many...

• Weekly Preparation Practice Checklist

  I have come up with a list of items that warrant practicing each week to prepare for an uncertain economical or governmental future. It isn’t being pessimistic to actually WANT to and look forward to being able to be more self-sustaining and out of debt...

• Overwhelmed by learning about long term food storage? Relax, here's a plan.

  I know how you feel. Just take a deep breathe and compartmentalize.....it can be very overwhelming at first. That's one reason I found the easy open buckets for my home were because people were telling me that for a year's supply I had to vacuum...

• Really, this mindset can be anywhere...

  It's kind of funny, but we have been living a 'homestead' style life for years. We even lived somewhat like that in FL and CA suburbs. Now, granted, while in CA, hubby was making more money than, well, sadly more than we knew what to do with...

• More ramble on that "Thrifty Commercial" topic...Buyer be Aware

  It is pretty funny how I had the same reaction as Anne (one of our other bloggers here) to the KFC and Frozen Chicken commercial. Toss in Stouffers and a few others and we have yet another media twisting epidemic. As unsuspecting busy American's just...
