The Reservoir -Emergency Water Storage System

Are you ready for a natural disaster? I live in Southern California and believe me I am always thinking about the next big earthquake. I HATE earthquakes. The earth literally MOVES, and you have no control while everything is moving under you. It seems to last forEVER, in reality only a few minutes. BUT man those are some scary minutes!!

We are prepared. We have food, a lot of dry goods packed in Rubbermaid containers. We have propane, so we can cook. We have a generator for power. But really, I hadn’t thought of water. Sure we have bottled water that we stock up every Costco trip. BUT water on hand RIGHT NOW?  Only what is in the fridge. I AM BEYOND thrilled that we have just added The Reservoir – Emergency Water Storage System to our kit.  This is the SMARTEST thing I’ve added to our emergency kit yet!!

The Reservoir meets FDA standards and fits any standard bathtub.  Assembles QUICKLY!!  Lay The Reservoir bladder flat in the tub.

Attach the fill sock on The Reservoir bladder and slide the other end over the bathtub faucet.  The Reservoir holds a hundred gallons of water!!  To dispense all you have to do is thread the siphon pump and insert the fill tube which will fit any jug or pitcher.

Give the bulb a few squeezes to get it started and the water will flow automatically until you open the vent cap.

Emergency management authorities recommend having on hand at least 3 days’ worth of drinking water, allowing at least 1 gallon per person/pet per day. The Reservoir gives you the capacity to meet these minimums, with plenty left over for cooking, washing and flushing.

Yes, you could just fill your bathtub with water. But, first, my tub? NO NO NO!! I’m not drinking out of that tub!! Second the tub is open, which leaves the water exposed to dust, dirt and debris.

The Reservoir insulates water from those contaminants with heavy-duty, food-grade plastic that meets FDA safety standards. SMARTEST-INVENTION-EVER for emergencies!!

Seriously!! ADD The Reservoir to your list and pick it up today!! Disasters happen sometimes with no warning at all!! BE PREPARED!!! I know I have better things to do after a disaster than to stand in line for water!! What about you?? What do you have in your emergency kit?  Anything special that most people don’t think about?? My big tip besides The Reservoir is contact lens cleaner! I want to see!!  (I think!)

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

I’m Refreshing My Blog (and Exorcising Some Digital Ghosts)

Updating old blog content is a lot like digital archaeology. You head into the archives expecting to dust off a few old tutorials, and you end up unearthing questionable life choices from seven years ago. Between the aggressively over-filtered photos and advice that has aged like room-temperature milk, the past can be… loud.

But lately, I haven’t just been fighting my own cringey archives. I’ve been dealing with a full-on resident spirit: The Ghost of Peanut Butter and Whine.

This digital poltergeist has been causing absolute chaos behind the scenes, and frankly, its taste in content is terrible. If you’ve noticed things looking a little haunted around here, here is the proof:

• The Video & Image Vanishing Act: Our resident ghost has been deleting my best images and helpful video tutorials, leaving behind sad, empty boxes where vibrant content used to live.
• The Link Graveyard: In a truly sinister move, the spirit has been sneakily stripping away my trusted brand partners and replacing them with sketchy “AI Crypto” links. (I love peanut butter, but I am not shilling digital coins, I promise!)
• Font Sabotage: Apparently, this ghost is trapped in 2001 because it keeps reverting my clean, modern text back to “Geocities-era” antique fonts.

My 2026 Blog Refresh Plan

I’m giving my archives a much-needed facelift to keep my blog traffic climbing and my readers happy. If you want to boost your own site’s performance, updating old blog content is the ultimate secret weapon.

Here is my step-by-step exorcism plan:

1. Exorcise the 404s: I’m running a rigorous broken link checker to track down every dead end, missing video, and broken image this ghost left behind.
2. Modernize the Recommendations: It’s time to swap out outdated products from years ago for my absolute 2026 essentials.
3. SEO Deep Clean: I’m updating my metadata and ensuring my focus keywords are strategically placed in the headers and introduction for maximum search engine impact.

Stick Around Please!

Don’t let this be a “one and done” visit. While I’m cleaning house and banishing spirits, check out these (very much alive) links:
