I'm a homeschooling mom who likes to make learning fun. I share resources, practical advice, and real-life experience to support families interested in Entrepreneurship, Family Emergency Preparedness, Home Economics, Homeschooling, and Homesteading.
This is our fundraiser. Gaia is responding well but still needs surgery.
Not how I wanted to introduce myself, but if anyone can help, my kids and I are hosting a fundraiser for a pregnant cat with a broken jaw on our pet meme Tumblr.

She's so sweet, and it was an unfortunate accident late this morning.

"It has an earthy flavor."

Me, a ranch kid: ahh, like a freshly harvested potato or carrot. A hint of earth.

What it actually tastes like: fresh cut, green grass.

How do I know what that tastes like? Ranch kid. Curiosity. Lawn mower without a guard.

Hey, my cousins tried the pet food.

Family Emergency Preparedness

Grab and go snacks like granola bars, trail mix, dried fruit, and beef jerky aren't the best for long-term nutrition but are fabulous to help give your body a quick calorie boost to keep your inner climate control going when the power goes out.

Family Emergency Preparedness

Fairy lights give off a surprising amount of light for very little power use. They also don't heat up like regular light sources do, so they are less likely cause a burn or fire.

(Less likely but not guaranteed! Always put your family's safety first!)

Winter Weather Preparedness

If the electricity goes out, have your family retreat to the room that's easiest to keep warm and make blanket forts or set up camping tents.

Keep a snack and drink bag plus flashlights handy.

Why is this room NOT the best choice for this family?

They say fire cleanses and that a phoenix will rise from the ashes, but they don't say anything about how much it hurt or how much it had to let go of before it gets reborn.

It isn't just things. It's a part of your soul.

Did you know that mandrakes are real-life plants and that some plants really do scream? It sounds like soft pops to us, so your ears are safe but hey, some of Harry Potter is very, very real!
