survival kit — MomStart

Two posts in one day about emergency supplies and food options and you might think I’m a crazy person that thinks the world is coming to an end. Well rest assured I’m not worried about the end times. I am a little more worried about possible winter storms and not having electricity for a week or two. When I was pregnant with Zoe we had a huge wind storm, it rained before the wind storm so the ground was really wet. Trees came down left and right and we lived in the middle of a forest it was terribly frightening. At the end of the storm the weather turned really cold. We were cold and without power for seven days. We didn’t have much of an emergency kit at that time. I ate lots of peanut butter and beef jerky, I actually got tired of peanut butter but didn’t have anything else to eat. It didn’t help to go into town because everyone was without power and waiting in line to get gas at a gas station that happened to have power took over an hour. Sigh! So I like to remind people to be prepared.

Now what if you have special dietary needs? You still need to eat right? I have friends that have to eat gluten free and friends that choose to eat gluten free. So when I say that BuyEmergencyFoods.com had gluten free options I wanted to list a few of those options here. At Buy Emergency Foods you can find Gluten Free Oatmeal with Brown Sugar, Gluten Free Corn Chowder and Gluten Free Cheesy Potato Soup. When you’re looking for emergency food for your survival kit BuyEmergencyFoods includes options for those with special needs.

Yes, oh yes I was sick!

My husband was sick,

And my daughter was sick!

Poor Zoe was sick right before Christmas, she was sick the whole week of Christmas to be exact. And it wasn’t until my dh and I were sick that I realized how very awful she must have felt. You see, we had the flu. Not the stomach flu, thank God, because puking is THE WORST, but the fever, the night sweats, the body ache, the headaches; which by the way, I’ve still been having headaches. I’m thinking of calling the doctor soon and finding out why I still have headaches because I don’t have the flu anymore. And my head is hurting so much, I just want to hide under the covers and not exist at ALL.

Anyways. We were sick!

I could have used Halls! So I ask, where was this for me……

Can you use Halls this year. And when I’m asking I mean, every product they make. That’s right. We’re giving away the ultimate Halls collection of products a 40.00 value. All I had to do to offer you this giveaway was share this survey with you:

A survey was just released about cold and flu season and this kit will help keep moms and their families healthy all year long!

Survey Overview: Americans show up (or at least consider showing up) for work while sick during cold & flu season. Some because they won’t get paid if they don’t go, some because their boss pressures them and others because they simply have too much to do and fear falling behind. Some stats that really stick out are:

· Nearly half of Americans (44 percent) would consider going to work with a fever.

More than a third of Americans (32 percent) said they would show up to work no matter how sick they get this season.
Nearly half of Americans (46 percent) said they did not take a sick day last cold & flu season (October 2009 – March 2010).
One in five Americans (19 percent) feel pressured by their boss or supervisor to head into work when they’re sick.
One in three (31 percent) Americans said they wouldn’t get paid for taking off on a sick day.
One in 10 (11 percent) said they would likely fall behind on their bills by taking a sick day.
More than 10 percent of Americans thought they would not likely receive their next pay raise or promotion, or worse, would lose their job for calling out sick.
