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!
Thank you Carrie, for your comments on my blog. I can't wait to check out of your older posts. I'm sure I'll have a lot of time on my hands the next few days. Thank you for the prayers and please keep praying!
ReplyDeleteI 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. :)
