I like the idea of having a relaxation room in your house. I do have a spare bedroom in my house but I usually just use it for guests. Maybe I should give it a second purpose.
Being prepared for severe weather is so important. I’ll have to read Rita’s tips on preparedness. Thank you for the heads up!

Oh yes! I am always on the hunt for new and great blogs to read and follow! I will be checking them out!
That was an awesome guide and I need to check this out. Glad that you share this with us.
