Get your house holiday ready

Tips to get your house holiday ready without last minute stress.

Focus on the main areas of the house that guests will be seeing. Areas you may not think of are the porch and entryways.

Get some nice seasonal scents to keep the house smelling great. Make sure not to get heavy smells or too many scents going at once. Some people are very sensitive to certain scents so be sure you can clear the smell out easily if needed.

Get the table ready. You might already have fancy dishes you bring out on special occasions or maybe now is a good time to invest in some.

Spend some time cleaning the oven and fridge. This step can avoid an oven catastrophe, and make sure the fridge is ready to store all the holiday food. Quick tip, go through your recipes and see what can be made ahead of time.

Prep for house guests. Make sure you have room for anyone staying over, clean up the guest bathrooms and make sure to have lots of extra towels, toiletries, pillows, and bedding ready.

If your guests have small children make sure you kid proof as best as you can and maybe invest in some cheap baby and toddler friendly dishes. Also, make sure you have food and snacks that are tailored to small guests.

Clean the floors. Cleaning floors can be a tedious task and take some time. But you can google quick tips from pros on easy floor cleaning methods.

If you have a fire get the space ready by having wood and fire starter supplies, clean the fire place, set some cozy blankets and pillows around the fireplace to create a nice place for guests to gather.

Be sure to book a bin if you need!

Fall and Soup are best friends

Nothing is better than warm soup and cold weather. I like a soup that is simple, tasty and doesn't require a fridge full of ingredients. Here is one of my favorites.

Autumn Veg Soup:

2 tbs. olive oil
3 diced carrots
1 diced onion
2 minced garlic cloves
2 c. small cubes butternut squash
1/4 tsp ground allspice
pinch of cayenne pepper and salt
1 qt. chicken broth
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 c. chopped kale
1 c. canned chickpeas

Heat oil in large soup pot, add carrots and onion cook until slightly soft (about 6 mins). Add garlic and cook for 1 min, add squash, allspice, cayenne, and 1 tsp. salt, stir until mixed. Add broth, tomatoes with juice and thyme. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Add kale and chickpeas and cook uncovered until squash is tender and kale is wilted, about 10 minutes more. Discard the thyme sprigs before serving. Season to taste with salt and cayenne and serve with warm fluffy rolls.

Affordable DIY Halloween decorations

Every October I try to come up with super easy and cheap decorations we can do as family to get ready for Halloween. It is so much fun for all of us to come up with different ideas.

Here are a few of our favorites.

* (Specimen jars) Jars filled with colored water and spooky toys like rats, dolls heads, or bugs.
* (Terrariums)  Save those glass jars all year and make some creepy spider filled jars by using spider web string from the store, twigs and dirt from the yard sprayed black and some toy spiders.
*  (Apothecary store) Fill decorative glass containers with yummy fall colored candy.

Have fun with it and come up with ideas as a family, we usually spend $5 or less on each idea and the time spent doing the craft is priceless!

Don't be creepin'

Don't let fall sneak up on you! Make sure to get that fall and winter prep to do list updated and done.









Things that should be on any list:

Fall fertilizer for your lawn, shrubs and trees.
Prune any plants that need to be trimmed before winter,
Make sure your sprinklers are leak free and ready to be shut off
Clean your gutters and repair any damage to gutters, it's also good to make sure the down spout drains at least one foot from your foundation.

Extra prep that just makes life easier during the chilly months:

Install a heated drip line above entry ways to keep snow and ice buildup away.
Check that all the insulation on doors and windows are in good shape.
If you like Christmas lights consider hanging the attachment hooks now, they come in all colors and even clear so they blend nicely and don't have to be taken down.
Go through your closets and store all your warm weather clothes in bins to make room for fluffy sweaters.
Donate old coats and blankets to a good cause.
Get a 5 gallon bucket so you can water your trees during the winter.

 If you'd like help hauling off your to do list trash please feel free to give us a call.

Long Weekend To Do List

With summer coming to end and most of busy with work, and kids and back in school Labor Day can be the perfect time to tackle those To Do list tasks. With summer leaving we can expect cold weather to follow. Now is a good time to get some winter prep started. Here is a short list to help get things going.

Bathroom update. The bathroom is the perfect place to do a remodel that doesn't have to cost a lot or take a long time. A fresh coat of paint, some new rugs, a nice shower curtain and some cool space organizers and you're set.

Clean out the garage, closets and junk drawer. We all know those areas are the where all the junk ends up. Clearing out the junk can be the best place to start any to do list.

Yard winter prep. Getting your yard ready for winter is very important to ensure your yard stays healthy all year long. Look online if you don't know what to do to prep your type of trees or plants.

Be sure to leave yourself plenty of time to rest and enjoy the Labor Day weekend. Call us if you need a bin.

Top remodel for 2018

Here is a list of the top 4 things homeowners are doing to remodel their homes this year.

Smart home systems:  You can control your home with the push of a button on your phone. Set the temperature, control lights, Unlock and lock doors and monitor security systems. The benefits of a smart home are endless and allow you to stay connected and in control with no effort.

Rooftop patios:  Many people are starting to utilize the space on their roofs and tops of houses. Apartment buildings have been using their rooftops for many years but now residential homes are starting to see the benefits as well.

All white: Seems like a nightmare to me to have a house that is wall to white, furniture, walls, accessories etc. But this all white trend is taking off and more and more interior decorators are utilizing all hues of white to create gorgeous spaces. I will admit it looks very pretty and clean, however, parents with small children or black dogs might be hesitant to try this trend.

Open shelving:  This trend is one I love! Having open shelves in the kitchen can really be lovely. The only caveat is that you may become obsessed with keeping things neat and tidy. No more chipped dishes or old ugly looking spice jars.
