I once had an accordion file folder that I had labeled with all sorts of categories for my home, recipes, DIY projects, ideas I liked and so forth. And then the brilliance of PINTEREST came about and decluttered my closet forever. Digital storage of ideas of every variety is pure genius I’d just like to […]
A great place to begin preparations is in the Planning category of emergency preparedness. Why? Because it costs nothing. The only investment you have to make is the time to think it through, write it down and then to prepare your family. There are several components to planning and it can take some time to […]
