Use Outdoor Equipment to Sleep More Guests

From the title I bet you can guess what this is about.

SLUMBER PARTIES!

I guess in the 1970's it was just a novel idea to take an outdoor camping sleeping bag and use it for extra people that would need to sleep in your home.

In 2018 we have outdoor sleeping bags, indoor nap mats, trundle beds, and even air mattresses.

There are even themed "Glamping Parties" where you add chicness to a slumber party with indoor tents and camping food to enjoy inside.

The idea of this Almanac post is to think about the year and guests that might come over to crash at your house.

Do you have enough to accommodate guests?

My kids are still young so we have not had to worry too much about sleep overs. We have had friends come over for a visit but we promptly kick everyone out when bedtime draws near.

I have had family come and crash for a week or more and the reason that works out so well is because they are fabulous guests!

So on the flip side of this coin is as a guest are you prepared for staying at home away from home?

Some other ideas from this post is to take outdoor lawn chairs and use them for emergencies. Bring them in for more seating and even use the ones that lay flat as a make shift cot for sleeping.

One thing this post never mentions is using your couch!

I have a great sectional that is big enough for a couple of people to comfortably sleep on. I almost want to guess that in 1970's your couch would have plastic on it so that wouldn't be an option for your in-laws.

Stuffed Lamb Cushion for Easter "Lamb is a traditional food for Eater. The lamb is a symbol of Jesus. In John 1:29 Jesus is referred to as "The Lamb of God", who takes away the sin of the world." Lamb is also a traditional Passover meal. In the book of Exodus, God was determined to save His people from their captivity in Egypt. The last plague He sent to Egypt was the death of the firstborn. God commanded that His people take an unblemished lamb, kill it, and but the blood of the lamb on their door post. This would be a sign for the Angel of Death to "passover" the house and not strike their firstborn. It would be after their freedom from slavery that God would institute traditional sacrifice for sins that would involve a lamb. Jesus' last supper was the Passover meal. He and His disciples ate lamb before He instituted the new covenant, teaching His disciples to remember Him in communion. Jesus would go on to be betraye

"Is There a Doctor in the House?" "Medical emergencies may occur at ay time, especially with young children. Prepare ahead of time by knowing exactly what you will do if it becomes necessary to get medical assistance quickly." Let's just sum up this blog post. AMERICAN HEALTHCARE SUCKS I hate doctors and their offices and their bills. This broken system we have is why "natural" remedies are becoming popular. We choose something other than a professional to treat us because our insurance won't cover services or the doctor might just misdiagnose us and throw meds at us. I'm sure this isn't everyone's experience. It has been mine for years. I had a good doctor once. If you want good medical services it will cost you. Remember when you could just go to a doctor? Now you have to make an appointment months in advance. If you need same day service, go to Urgent Care. If you are experiencing an
