Today’s guest is passionate about equipping moms to be prepared for whatever life throws at them. In our conversation, we dove into the subjects of two of Karen’s books: preparing your home with long-term food storage and preparing your vehicle with everything you need on the go. Karen breaks down how anyone can get started building their long-term food storage supply without blowing the budget. She also goes through some items to keep stocked in your vehicle so you are prepared for any situation that may arise on the go. There are some brilliant things on her list that you may not have thought of! If you want to feel more prepared to take care of your family whether at home or on the run, lend an ear to Karen’s sage advice!
