Are you all on Pinterest? I find it addicting and so fun to look through. Although it can suck me in and I lose track of time, I find it has a very practical and useful purpose. I have found some great preparedness topics and ideas on Pinterest. It's a great way to keep all my to-do items in one place and also learn something new. Check out these few things that are in my Preparedness Board on Pinterest. Keep in mind that I haven't made or tested these things, they are just great ideas that I found and want to try.
MAKE YOUR OWN LOTION
MAKE YOUR OWN OLIVE OIL CANDLES
MAKE A "LAMP" OUT OF A WATER BOTTLE
MAKE A REUSABLE ICE PACK
USE AN EGG TO STOP BLEEDING
MAKE A SOLAR WATER HEATER
TOOTHPASTE DROPS
There are so many other topics that you can find on Pinterest and I think it is so great that the whole world can share ideas. My kids have clued in and when they see me trying something new they ask "did you find that on Pinterest?". Most of the time the food is good, the ideas work, and the homemade cleaners really clean. What have you all found and loved on Pinterest???
I'm finding lots of cool stuff on Pinterest - recipes (how to make my own "Velveeta" style cheese), craft ideas, decorating ideas, cute animals, and gardening ideas - This year, we're trying "potato towers" that I found via Pinterest - so far, so good!! (need to wait until fall harvest to see if they *really* work, but they're growing great right now!)
ReplyDeleteHave you tried the velveeta yet? I was curious if that worked because it looked like such a great idea!! Let me know if you do try it. I have a soup recipe that I love but I don't buy it too often and so it would be great to be able to make it!
