I would like to introduce myself as a new preparedness blogger for families.com. I am looking forward to sharing information with you about how to be prepared for all different types of scenarios and emergencies. Being prepared for the good and bad alike gives us a piece of mind and allows us to live with hope instead of with fear and concern.
Now, a little bit about myself…
First, my name is Marily Smith and I have been writing for the frugal living blog at families.com for a year. I have been married for four years and my husband and I have two small boys, ages four months and two years. We live in Mesa, Arizona where I have lived nearly my whole life. I have varied interests in mathematics, writing, the arts, and cooking. Within the last few years I have taken up preparedness as a new interest and hobby as well.
When there was an opening for a preparedness blogger, I felt it very timely since this has been a subject I have been very concerned with recently. I have learned a lot about emergency preparedness through various classes, books, and hands-on experience that I am excited to share with you. I am also looking forward to the opportunity to challenge myself in learning more about being prepared for all typed of scenarios.
For most of us, emergency preparedness has been a topic of increasing urgency as we have recently noticed more and more disasters, natural or otherwise, throughout the world. Check back here at the preparedness blog for more information about these topics and more:
* The pantry-cooking method of food storage
* Recipes for using stored foods
* Home security advice
* Tips for 72-hour kits, car emergency kits, first-aid kits
* Planning for various types of emergencies and natural disasters
* Ways to store food, water, and other essentials
Please comment and let me know what types of articles you would like to see, and keep checking back to the preparedness blog as we work together to provide ourselves some peace of mind through being prepared for the future.
