Thought I would share Thrive Life's current special with you!  Thrive-a-ganza!  It is one of the best sales they have all year and includes some great items.  Sale lasts until September 2 OR when the inventory is gone, so you should put in your order as soon as possible to make sure you get the sale price!

The Aug specials are also still occurring so now is a great time to get the items you need for your food storage or your home store (whatever you are building).

Or if you are in need of Freeze Dried beef dices, a #10 can is marked down $11.40 to a total of $42.79.  The chicken slices, red seedless grapes, pineapple chunks and mozzarella cheese are also among some of the sale items.

Food Storage Friday

What do you have in your 72 hour kits?  Having kits ready to go is so important in an emergency.  It is definitely a big part of being prepared.  I thought I would tell you some of the items we have and give you some ideas.  I am sure there are more things you could have, but here is a good start. 

*with back to school sales right now, it is a great time to get a backpack for each member of the family :)  With some "keep yourself busy" items inside. 

72 hour kits :)

-Food for 3 days.  We have THRIVE fruit and vegetables along with some ready made meals.  If you have little ones, make sure to put some snacks in there as well to help pass the time if need be.  We also have granola bars, fruit snacks and other items that do not perish. 

- Water for 3 days.  They say to have 1 gallon per person.  If you have anything that will need additional water, you may want to add more water.

-A change of clothes for each person and a set of pajamas (that is one reason each person needs their own bag).  Undergarments

- Blanket/Sheet (ours are small little fleece blankets.  Not sure what others do...)

-Flashlight

-Lighter

-Diapers/Personal needs (I make sure to have plenty of diapers as well as items such as pads and tampons...  If you don't need them, someone else might....)

-Pen and paper

-Coloring books and crayons

-Flashcard/card games/travel games

-Pocket knife, rope, duct tape

- Eating utensils and plates (if you can find a mess kit on sale, those work GREAT)

-Medication:  This includes Tylenol for children and self.  Also Prescription medication as well. 

-Hand sanitizer, toilet paper, dish soap, shampoo, body soap

-Cash

I know there are many other items that can go into a 72 hour kit (and not all kits will be identical).  Select the items that need to go into particular kits (for instance, you would not put a lighter in a toddlers bag... etc). 
 
*** Look at your kit every 6 months!  (I do mine at conference time-during conference sometimes....) 

If you have an other items that you put in your kits, let us know :)  I love seeing others kits and getting better ideas for my own

Temple

I wanted to post this yesterday, but the day flew and before I knew it, today was here!  I am excited to share that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, has started showing a new video for the endowment session!  I guess they haven't had a new one in 20 years or so!  It is exciting to get to be a part of this :)

Here is the article telling a little more...  Deseret News

I am excited to go and get to see it! 

Thrifty Thursday THRIVE deals

It is ALREADY August and that means a whole new slew of deals on THRIVE foods.  Whether you are buying it for food storage or your home store, some of these deals you won't want to pass up.

 Sweet corn is the item for the Q-PON (which means the deepest discount).  A #10 can retails for $19.19, however through the month of August you can get it for $14.39!  My kids eat this all the time (just out of the can) and I love to add it to meals. 

 Another item my kids eat like candy (seriously, they could go through an entire can in a day if I let them) are peach slices.  For this month you can get them for $24.69. Mmmmm....

Another item that is HOT at our house is the sausage crumbles.  It makes for a quick addition to eggs for breakfast or fun to put on pizzas.  They taste so good and you don't have to deal with the hassle of cooking. 

They also have mangoes, monteray jack cheese, passionfruit yogurt bites, strawberry yogurt bites, red bell peppers, scrambled egg mix, and powdered sugar on sale this month. 

For more of your emergency preparedness they also have a Fuel reserve 32 pack on sale for $29.99 and a quick fire stove on sale for $14.99.

If you are interested in any of these deals, feel free to shoot me an email, prepareyourshelves@gmail.com, call 801-513-7992, or message me for details or to put an order in. You can also visit  http://prepareyourshelves.thrivelife.com to look at other items that are available; just remember when you order directly through me, I can get you a slightly lower price than even my website :)

Child of God

I have found in life that when we get too comfortable where we are at, usually something is done to stir us up...  I have been serving in the Sunday School teaching 12-14 year olds and loved it.  I loved the new curriculum and was learning as I was preparing and teaching.  However, I guess it was my turn to move on (I only served in that calling for about 9 months) to NURSERY.  With BOTH of my children :)

As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I believe that my Heavenly Father knows me and knows what I need.  I trust that at this time I am needed in nursery. 

Yesterday I taught a lesson teaching the children that they are children of a loving Heavenly Father.  That he created them.

Next time you are feeling down, remember, that You also are a child of God.  That he knows you.  That he Loves you! 

Thrifty Thurs

Many people have asked if it is actually worth hosting a party for THRIVE Life.  I decided to have one of my hosts take a picture of everything she got for either FREE or 1/2 off.  She was going to order off of the website (which is the highest price) and instead she hosted a party, had a few people over and got much more than she would have if she had just ordered. 

She got items for her 72 hour kit and just yesterday informed me that with everything she got from THRIVE (and some rice and cans of food she already had) she figured she could feed her and her spouse for 1 1/2 months!  Not a bad beginning! 

For a party we can do in home or virtual.  Just let me know what you would like to do and we will get your food storage supply for FREE or/and half off!

Special witnesses

As I have gotten older, I have grown to appreciate the special blessings that we have been given for our time. I am aware of the increasing difficulty for ourselves and our posterity; yet I am comforted in knowing that we are given the tools to be prepared and handle the challenges and trials we may face. Of all our tools, we have been blessed with a prophet and apostles who are the mouthpiece of our Heavenly Father. I am grateful for the words they speak to us and especially for their sweet testimonies. If you have a few moments, take the opportunity to listen to some of them. Many of them touch on different aspects of our gospel, yet from each man you can feel the spirit of truth and knowledge.
