This is sort of an odd post for me really. Why? Well, my hubby doesn’t like to camp or at least the one camping trip with a 1 yr. old/pouring down rain and tornado warnings did not go very well! Trying to keep a newer walking tot dry and clean was near impossible. But I digress because we did buy a tent last year. The kids used it for backyard camping. I thought we could trying camping again this year if we bought a larger or 2nd tent, but now that I am pregnant not sure if that will happen. (edited to say that this post was written in 2013!) I am not currently pregnant, lol.

I’ve been spending quite some time researching all sorts of topics to do with Emergency Preparedness. I want to prepare but I want to be informed as to why and how my family can prepare. I want to be assured I have thought things through and not just jumped onto the bandwagon. I have joined a local group of families that are learning about Emergency Preparedness and Homesteading skills. I have volunteered to teach about 72 Hr. Kits or Bug Out Bags as you may have heard them called!

The next few weeks I will be sharing what I have learned as well as what our family has done to prepare. You may remember me dabbling into this subject in the fall with my articles: 10 Steps to Getting Prepared for an Emergency and Emergency Preparedness: Are you Prepared?

How on earth does a pregnant woman or mom of a newborn prepare for an emergency? Do you have an emergency kit of any kind? This could be a reality for my family and for many young families that we know. I know we take for granted being less than a 5 minute drive from over a dozen stores that sell food, diapers, wipes,etc. BUT what happens if you cannot get to the store? What if the power is wiped out due to high winds or ice? Shelves may sit full of useful products but without the power to run a register or the internet for the computers you are SUNK!

I will first share where we were at this week and our Prepper Fails and then how we managed to correct each one. Bare with me and LEARN with us as we navigate the road to Emergency Preparedness. This should be a fun adventure or a journey of family learning!
