Hey there!

 

Can you believe it is almost SEPTEMBER?  2020 has definitely been a year like no other for me.  Starting off with a pandemic, then getting re-married and moving across the country, adding three new kids and husband to my crew ... it's been a crazy year so far!  But I always look forward to September because it's National Preparedness Month which means we get to do our annual 7 Day Challenge!

 

If you haven't participated (or heard of) the 7 Day Challenge you will definitely want to look at some of the past years' challenges found on the 7 Day Challenge sign-up page.  Basically as a group, my blog readers and I go through mock emergencies for 7 days and practice using all of our emergency supplies and food storage.  It is a grand learning experience and fun adventure every year.

 

This year, I feel like everyone may be a little bit "emergencied out" with having lived through a real life pandemic for the past six months so i want to do something a little different, but hopefully still fun and educational this year.  Instead of focusing on preparing for disasters we are going to focus on COOKING with our food storage.

The format will be similar to previous years with new challenges being sent out each day, including some advanced tasks.  And there will be a reason behind each challenge mimicking a real-life "emergency" situation.  I hope you will join in the fun with everyone, even if you just observe it's still always a great learning experience. 

 

Here's how to join this year's 7 Day Challenge:

 

1.  Make sure you are registered for the actual challenge emails (register now)

2.  Join my Facebook Group to share your experiences each day (join now)

3.  Make sure your pantry is fully stocked!

 

The first challenge email will be sent on a surprise day in September and after that for 7 days you will not be allowed to grocery shop, eat out, or spend any money on food.  GOOD LUCK!

BIG NEWS! Monthly specials are back starting September 1st!! There are six awesome items that will all be discounted through the month of September or while supplies last!  Make sure to order through the delivery service to get the sale prices and free shipping (on orders over $100).

 

Monthly specials means I get to send my regular monthly Meal-in-Jar email out which will include a recipe or two that you can make a batch of to store for an emergency.  If you aren't already getting those emails make sure to sign up for them at this link.  

 

 

 

Make sure you schedule your delivery early in the month because I'm sure these items will sell out quickly. Just having them scheduled doesn't reserve the inventory for you.

If you’ve ever wanted to join Thrive Life, now is the time to do it!  For the month of September you can join as a consultant and get the Social Seller Kit, valued at $107, for only $79.  Being a consultant is a great option if you are planning to make large purchases (you get cash back on your own orders), if you want to earn free food, or if you love to share with family and friends, start a food storage cooking group, etc.

If you are not already a member of my facebook community I encourage you to come on over and join the conversation.  Lots of great preparedness discussions on a daily basis.
