btw, back to the topic of food and kids, the only thing my youngest wont eat is pizza. yep. go figure. yet she will happily eat a breville with all the toppings as a filling. weird huh. other than that, i have a strict "eat it or starve" rule. and i often make things very few parents serve, lol, like quinoa, polenta, couscous, just to ensure they hare good with most new textures and flavours, so long as the flavour is good and yes, herbs and spices, as well as stevia are part of my preps

Wayne, i have a recipe for home made formula heres hoping it worked, if not ill pull my hair out, lol and her not eating enough, have you found she prefers certain textures or consistencies? it could be possible to slowly introduce more and more foods by preparing them in ways to make them more appealing to her. i have heard that with many premmies, its because of how long they tube feed them for, is this about right for your littlest?

im lucky, i know how to sew and crochet, so in a worst case scenario, i can always make something new from something old. i do have plenty of fabric stashed away, pretty patterns and colours, patterns for many things from clothes, toys, and practical things like bags that said, its always good to have bigger clothes stored, as worst case, theyre there to be grown into, or can be adapted or repurposed, but even small things like childrens worn out clothes can be repurposed or even just repaired. sadly we have become very consumerist and have a nasty habit of making things to be disposable. disposable does not = gone, so instead of chucking away, think about stashing even old towels, sheets, blankets, clothes and shoes as the materials may be quite valuable, if not to you, to another for trade

great post! i think that ones body language can make or break ones likelihood of avoiding trouble. when in car parks for example, i tend to get this sort of "pissed off pittbull" body language, lol often without meaning it these days! but its extremely important for women especially to know unarmed self defence imo. knowing what places to target can be the difference between life an d death. as can keeping aware of ones surroundings. dont wear earphones or talk on the phone when walking alone for example. always know what you can use as a weapon if needed. and most importantly, know how to use everything available to keep an eye out for, and if possible avoid, danger
