Hello everyone!
We hope your October is going great! This is the perfect time for a little reset. Clear out the clutter, prep for cooler weather, and make your home feel extra cozy for the season ahead!
Don't forget to change your AC filter!
Refresh for Fall 🧺
Before the holiday rush kicks in, take a moment to simplify your space. Focus on one area at a time, like maybe that overflowing entryway or the closet full of beach gear.
Store away beach gear and outdoor equipment.
Clear out closets and donate what you don’t use.
Refresh your pantry to make space for fall staples like baking supplies.
Wipe-down ceiling fans, light fixtures, and baseboards that have been collecting dust.
Simmer orange peels and cinnamon sticks on the stove for a natural air freshener!
Decorating Safely 🍂
We love to see your seasonal decorations! Here's a few helpful tips to ensure everyone has a safe and festive holiday season:
Avoid overloading outlets or daisy-chaining multiple extension cords. Inspect cords for damage before use.
Swap real candles for battery-operated ones to prevent fire hazards.
Make sure decorations don’t block paths or create tripping hazards.
Send us a photo of your fall decor to hannahshometeam@gmail.com and we'll feature it in our November newsletter!
