Do-It-Yourself PROJECTS

Create Your Own Emergency Preparedness & Food Storage Binder

Create Your Own Emergency Preparedness & Food Storage Binder

Get Prepared the right way! When creating your emergency & food storage plan you need to make sure you have a place to keep it all! There are so many emergency preparedness and food storage binders out there, but my favorite by far is the one I’ve made myself. When you make your own you […]

Meal Plan For The ENTIRE Year & Get Food Storage DONE at the Same Time!

Meal Plan For The ENTIRE Year & Get Food Storage DONE at the Same Time!

Coming up with menu plans week after week that please everyone was making me fully understand the phrase, “I would rather stick a needle in my eye!” There’s also something about 5 o’ clock that triggers everyone’s internal alarm clock (at least in my house) to immediately start screaming, yelling, or whining about EVERYTHING! To make matters worse, when I try to hide in my […]

Need a Place to Hang Your Christmas Cards?

Need a Place to Hang Your Christmas Cards?

One of my favorite parts about the Christmas Season is the cards we receive. I just love looking at all the beautiful families with coordinating outfits and perfect kids that actually look at the camera and smile! I can only dream one day our family can do that ;) Nothing is more torturous to me than […]

Rags to Riches: Learn to Make Your Own Cloth Wipes

Rags to Riches: Learn to Make Your Own Cloth Wipes

I used to know EVERYTHING about being a perfect mom, but then… I HAD A BABY!!! (This is actually my sister’s baby. Isn’t he adorable?) I quickly realized I knew nothing and continue to know less each day ;) Not only are babies a TON of work, but they are EXPENSIVE too! By the time […]

Build a #10 Can ROCKET STOVE: It Cooks an Entire Meal With Twigs!

Build a #10 Can ROCKET STOVE: It Cooks an Entire Meal With Twigs!

Everytime I’ve done an emergency fair, the most popular alternative cooking method that I demonstrate has been the Rocket Stove (by a long shot)! People LOVE this one, including me! It has immediately shot to the top of my FAVORITE’s list and something I recommend EVERYONE should add to their emergency supplies! Why? Mainly because… A handful of twigs can […]

Applebox Oven: Bake in a Box!

Applebox Oven: Bake in a Box!

I’m starting to understand why people sometimes get the impression that preppers are crazy. Who else does a photoshoot with an aluminum covered box at 3 am? I know, I really need to get a life! At the Emergency Fair, multiple people told me they had made an AppleBox Oven when they were in Girl Scouts! The only […]

Sew Your Own Poo Wipes ;)

Sew Your Own Poo Wipes ;)

Oh my, do we really have to talk about this? Can’t I just store a year’s supply of toilet paper and never think about such things? Yes. But what happens when your one year supply only lasts six months because eating wheat and beans caused more intestinal problems than you anticipated? Every wise plan includes […]

Sew Your Own Hankies (Washable Kleenex)

Sew Your Own Hankies (Washable Kleenex)

I am not much of a sewing person – straight lines are about all I can handle. Which is good, because that’s all this project requires! Making your own washable hankies is a simple project that doesn’t take much time or money and they are sooooo soft on your nose! Plus they never rip so […]

The Wonder Oven: Works Like a Powerless Crock-Pot

The Wonder Oven: Works Like a Powerless Crock-Pot

What is a Wonder Oven (AKA Wonder Box)? My neighbor loved my new bean bag, but when I told her it actually cooked food she thought I was crazy. This little cushion does more than just look pretty, it keeps Hot things Hot, or it can keep Cold things Cold. Basically, you get your food boiling for […]
