For when the power goes out, the storm rolls in, or you just want to stop winging it.Let’s be real: I’m not prepping for the end of the world.
I’m prepping for the next power outage that hits after 9 PM with zero warning, two tired kids, and no charged flashlight in sight.
If you’ve ever googled “what to keep in a go-bag” and felt your blood pressure spike — same. That’s why I created a checklist that’s short, calm, and actually works for real life.
No fear. No 97-bin chaos. Just smart prep, minus the panic.
📝 What It Is:
The Calm Prep Checklist is my no-drama guide to staying ready when things get weird — storms, outages, road trips, whatever.
It covers:
- Power (chargers, flashlights, solar, cords)
- Basic gear
- Food & comfort
- Documents (yep, actual printed ones)
- A few bonus items I swear by (looking at you, non-chlorine pool shock)

👀 Why This List Works
This isn’t about prepping for every possible disaster.
It’s about knowing that if something hits — you’re not scrambling.
You’ve got:
- Backup power
- Snacks
- Peace of mind
- Dry socks
- And maybe a little lip balm, because feeling good still matters
📎 What to Do Next
- Print the checklist
- Add your must-haves in the “Notes” section
- Stash a copy where you’ll actually see it
- Start with just one item this week. Seriously.
✍️ Final Thought:
You don’t have to prep like a man.
You can prep like a mother.
Like a calm, softly dangerous, fully charged version of yourself.
