Five Reasons to Stockpile Food

24 Jul 2008 08:30 PM

We have tried to stockpile on food but we end up just eating it! We do stockpile on freezer items, they seem to be less tempting.

But I do majorly stockpile on cleaning supplies, deodorant, shampoo, paper products, body wash, etc. I purchase extra when something is on sale or when I go to Sams Club.

3 Safety Devices You Must Have. . .

A lot of children die or are hurt each year from heavy items falling on them (especially TV's) so it is also a good idea to anchor tall furniture to the wall. This is not necessarily a safety device but a safety tip!

When You Think the Other Parent is a Slacker

My mom struggled with being a single parent also. My father never helped with anything and my mom tried to get him to a least take interest in us. But after years of him missing band concerts, sports, graduations, etc; my brother and I just gave up on him. The best advice I can give divorced parents is to leave the kids out of the bickering and not to talk bad about the other parent. My father and his mom would say nasty things about our mother and it would make us cry. His mom would even send us nasty letters. Just be the best parent you can and in the end your kids will thank you! You are absolutely right; kids will sort things out for themselves.

I didn’t even realize they had gadgets to keep you fridge locked. We do have refrigerated medications, but I plan on buying a small lockable container to put in the fridge.
