My Kids Ate My Food Storage: What I Learned09 Jun 202600:13:31

My kids ate my food storage.

Well, not all of it, but after several of my adult children moved back home, our household went from three people to seven almost overnight. What happened next gave me a real-life test of my food storage system that I never planned for.

In this episode, I'm sharing what foods disappeared first, what I had too much of, what surprised me, and what changes I'm making as a result. This unexpected pantry experiment taught me a lot about what our family actually uses.

We talk about:
• What ran out first in my layer two pantry
• The foods I had stocked well
• Where my food storage system needs improvement
• Common mistakes that happen when multiple people access food storage
• How food storage needs change during different seasons of life

If you've ever wondered whether your food storage would actually work for your family, this episode offers a practical look at what happened when mine was put to the test.

Sometimes the best way to learn about your food storage is to use it.

If you enjoyed this episode, I'd love for you to leave a review and share it with a friend.

5 Simple Preparedness Tasks You Can Do This Week09 Jun 202600:05:15

Preparedness doesn't have to be complicated, expensive, or take hours of your time.

In this episode, I'm sharing five simple preparedness tasks you can do this week to help your family become more prepared for everyday emergencies and unexpected disruptions. These are practical, affordable steps that can make a big difference over time.

We talk about:
• Water storage and simple ways to get started
• Keeping ready-to-eat meals in your freezer
• Buying one extra item each grocery trip
• Creating a power outage kit
• Developing an emergency evacuation plan

If you've been wanting to get more prepared but aren't sure where to begin, this episode will give you a handful of easy action steps you can implement right away.

Remember, preparedness doesn't happen all at once. Small steps add up over time, and every step forward counts.

The Next Best Thing: Letting Go of the Pressure to Do It All09 Jun 202600:07:51

After a long pause from the podcast, I'm sharing some of the lessons I've learned through one of the hardest seasons of my life.

Life can change in ways we never expected. Sometimes the season we are in requires us to let go of the pressure to do it all and focus on what matters most.

In this episode, I share a simple analogy that has helped me think differently about capacity, expectations, and grace. We talk about why it is okay to say no to good things, how our ability to carry responsibilities changes from season to season, and why focusing on the next best thing can bring more peace than striving to do everything.

I also share a little about the life changes that led to the pause in this podcast and some of the lessons I learned during that time.

If you have been feeling overwhelmed, stretched too thin, or discouraged by everything on your plate, I hope this conversation encourages you to give yourself grace and take one intentional step forward.

Remember, you do not have to do everything. You only need to focus on the next best thing.

If this episode encouraged you, please leave a review and share it with a friend. Your support helps more women discover This Prepared Life.

Over 150 Non Food Preps - Ep2808 Feb 202300:14:26

I talk a lot about food storage, but nonfood preps are just as important. Here are over 150 nonfood prep items from a recent post on my Instagram titled If You Use It, Prep It. So get a pen and paper and get ready to take some notes.

Preparedness is nothing more than planning for the things to come, and we each get to decide what that looks like for our families. Maybe that's one extra of the items you use regularly, or maybe that's several months or years worth. The only wrong answer is not to prep at all.

What would you add to the list? Share your responses in the comments! I welcome newcomers to homesteading and preparedness here at TPL. We all started somewhere and had help getting where we are now.
