What is purple preps?

I thought I should give an explanation for anyone who does find this blog as to why I chose the term purplepreps.

The catch all term for stockpiling supplies and food storage is usually called diaster preparedness. So when I started to become serious about this (to my hubby's delight) I started to save alot of webpages in my favorites. Then I realized that if there was a disaster we probably won't have power and therefore no computer, no internet and no way to access all the wonderful information I have been finding. So I bought a binder and started to print a few pages.

Of course my favorite color is purple and so I bought a purple binder (hubby rolled his eyes again and said it is not purple it is LAAAVENDER lol at least he knows the difference). In my way of thinking - purple and preparednss both start with P. Also the same reason why I use a black binder for bible study and a blue binder for baking recipes (well it has all the recipes I use but the concept is there right?)

Anyways, when I showed him the binder and told him purple is for preparedness, he quickly corrected me and said that if I am to be serious about this then I must use the proper terminology - preps! So purplepreps was born!

I was wondering what purple preps was all about... and expecting some sort of pink and green with alligator preppie thing. (That would explain me in the early 80s, though) I think I like your real explanation better. :)
