Are You Getting Bombarded With “The Ultimate Survival Bundle” and, if so, Should You Buy?
The past few days I’ve seen more and more references to something called the “Ultimate Survival Bundle,” from emails to posts on other survival websites.

If You Want to Learn Something, Teach it… If You REALLY Want to Learn Something, Teach it to Children
Over the summer my wife and I decided to make yet another major change in our lives: to homeschool our children. This wasn’t an easy decision even though it had been something I wanted to do for a long time now, at least, until it turned out that I would be the one to do most…

5 Great Ways to Benefit from the Sun’s Power
I’m a huge fan of utilizing whatever I have around me and using the power of nature is no exception. I’ve mentioned in the past, however, that I’m not a very “out of the box” type of thinker so it helps me tremendously to have seen what can be done by others first. So, without further ado,…

Yesterday I mentioned that we were going to do a “random” act of kindness day which was inspired by a person wanting to celebrate her 38th birthday a while back (here’s a link to her original article).

Remember That Today is “Random Act of Kindness” Day – Give it a Shot!
A few days ago I mentioned that my family and I are doing a random act of kindness day today. Normally, this isn’t something I would ever willfully do on my own–this is just one of many reasons why I’m better off married to my wife–and since we’re about to head out on the town…

Are Most of Us Really Armchair Preppers?
I’m sure you’ve heard the term “armchair quarterback” before. The term usually refers to a person who didn’t do the job or perform the act later stating what should have been done or how “they would have done it” after the fact… it can be about anything really, from an actual football game to how…
