Power outages never seem to happen at a convenient time.Sometimes it's a winter storm that knocks out electricity when temperatures are freezing. Other times it's a summer thunderstorm, hurricane, wildfire, or unexpected grid failure that leaves your home in the dark. As a dad, I don't like scrambling for flashlights or wondering whether the batteries are still good after the power has already gone out. That's why I slowly built a simple emergency power kit with products I know my family can rely on when the unexpected happens. Everything in this list was chosen because it solves a real problem during a blackout—whether it's providing light, keeping essential devices charged, receiving emergency weather updates, or helping you stay prepared for longer outages. These aren't products you buy because you're expecting an emergency. They're products you buy because emergencies never send an invitation. ❤️ Being prepared doesn't mean living in fear—it means protecting the people who depend on you. 👇 Take a few minutes today to build your emergency kit. You'll hopefully never need most of these products—but if you do, you'll be glad you planned ahead.

I am so excited to see how it looks this fall. I also had my husband help me build trellises for my fruit plants. I love trying new products and tools and I LOVE sharing my favorite products with other gardeners. :) Happy planting!
