Ok, maybe technically I’m not the Queen, but that didn’t stop me from digging out my crown and strutting it around the house. (Yes, I did actually have one lying around… from my previous life :). I’ve been wanting an excuse to pull it out, and I just got one when I was crowned this months SURVIVAL MOM!!! I seriously couldn’t stop smiling and my husband couldn’t be prouder. Really, how many husbands can brag they have a crazy prepper wife that spends more money on solar ovens than shoes, can field-dress a deer, and spend hours taking pictures of eggs :)
To read my winning application check it out here – SURVIVAL MOM! I wrote all about what emergencies I’m preparing for, what I have done to prepare for them, my favorite resources, and my advice to moms who are new to prepping! Hope you’ll check it out and let me know what you think!
SURVIVAL MOM
Along with getting to wear my crown again, I got a lot of fun things I can’t wait to try out (A big THANK YOU to – “Grow Your Own Groceries,” and PurifiCup Portable Water Purifier). I’m most excited about my own copy of Survival Mom (hopefully she’ll sign it:)! Her website is packed with tonz of useful information for everyone. It doesn’t matter if you are new to prepping, or if you’re already living in an off-grid survivalist bunker, her website will have something for you.
FAVORITES FROM SURVIVAL MOM:
- The Nearly Definitive Word on Gun Holsters For Women
- 7 Food Wasting Sins! Confessions from a Former Food Waster
- FEMA’s Top 12 Emergency Items Analyzed
So take a look at her site, read my application, write your own (feel free to plagiarize mine, j/k she might notice :), and let me know when I need to pass my crown on to you! Until then, I will be eating Cheetos on the couch while my kids rub my feet.
That is AWESOME, Jamie. What a great submission letter. No wonder you won. You’re a great example to all of us. Glad to see you survived the fair on Saturday.
Thanks Joyce! Yes, the fair so over :) We survived barely, still recovering!
Congratulations! What an amazing article. Thank you for your expertise, knowledge and sharing with all of us. Keep up the great work. So impressed your priorities are right and that your family comes FIRST! (instead of your personal clothes closet) Thank you!
Thanks again for all your help Saturday! Couldn’t have done it without you! Not sure my priorities are always right, but it gives me something to work on!
Go Jamie! You are the coolest! I’m so grateful for your example and your blog. You have helped me a ton. I am so impressed how you have made food storage and self reliance seem so cool and stylish!
Really, am I making food storage cool? Pigs must be flying if that is happening :) Anyways, you’re awesome! Thanks for being my #1 Fan!
