After years of talking about emergency preparedness and setting my family up for success, I started helping other families get prepared so they can face any challenge with confidence. Emergency preparedness doesn’t have to be daunting. My goal is to help you create a plan that makes sense to you.

I love how JaNae has treated people’s concerns and anxieties with respect and has provided solid information to help them approach preparedness calmly and without fear.

Prepared Like a Mother breaks stuff down into easy actionable steps for a person to follow based on their own unique situations. I didn’t feel like I was properly prepping until I found this website! Low and behold I’ve been “Prepared Like a Mother” for years! Storing what my family uses, needs and having stuff on hand for our unique situations. Thank you for all you do!!

I love that you address how each one of us has a different way we need to be prepared and you walk us through that step by step!
