Find what you need now!

Hi there! I’m Lisa Bedford

I’ve been The Survival Mom since 2019, helping moms prepare and equip their families for life’s toughest moments.

My Survival Mom approach to preparedness is rooted in family, home, and good old-fashioned common sense, shaped by real-life lessons from natural disasters, financial setbacks, and family crises.

Because here’s what I’ve learned: self-reliance doesn’t mean going to extremes. It means creating a life you enjoy living where preparedness fits naturally alongside your routines, traditions, and priorities.

My mission is to share these proven, practical strategies so you can build a home and family life that stays strong, no matter what comes your way.

You already have everything you need to become a Survival Mom because it all starts with you!

Being prepared empowers you to be decisive and confident when your loved ones need you the most.
Picture yourself knowing exactly what to do, while others are paralyzed by fear and indecision.
This isn’t about fear; it’s about choosing strength and resilience.
It’s not about living in fear; it’s about taking control of your safety and the safety of those you cherish.
And, it’s about being proactive — looking ahead to plan and prepare for what could happen. Moms have been doing this for thousands of years!
You’re not just a caregiver—you’re a protector, ready to face any challenge life throws your way.

Survival Moms know how to handle anything life throws their way, and "prepping" is just planning and being proactive for whatever lies ahead.

Your family can become more resilient; your lifestyle more sustainable

You don’t need a homestead, a rural location, or an especially green thumb to create a sustainable lifestyle. 

Homesteading is first a mindset. It’s putting little things in place, like learning to cook from scratch, using natural remedies, experimenting with plants, and learning what will grow (and not grow) in your location.

It’s learning how to bloom no matter where you happen to be planted.
