The final installment in the winterizing your lawn and garden series 🍂

1. Shut Down Irrigation Systems - turn off and drain outdoor irrigation systems to prevent your pipes from freezing and cracking.

2. Mindfully Clean Up - trim and discard diseased plants or branches (don't compost them), but don't cut down everything; leave some healthy plants standing and fallen leaves on the ground, as this provides shelter for bumblebees and food for birds.

3. Plant Bulbs - plant your spring flower bulbs, like tulips, before the first frost.

We are back with more winterizing tips for your lawn and garden 🍁

1. Water Your Plants - always water your lawn and your garden in the weeks leading up to the first frost to prevent plants from drying out and dying over the winter months

2. Protect Trees and Shrubs - wrap tree trunks and shrubs to protect them from harsh winter winds or hungry wildlife.

3. Mulch Your Garden - mulch your perennials AFTER the first hard freeze, then add a few inches of mulch to keep the ground at a steady temperature throughout the winter months.

This is a great way to declutter your closet. You only take out 10 items at a time as opposed to doing your entire closet at once. Won't feel so overwhelming.

Pulling everything out of your wardrobe can turn a simple decluttering session into an exhausting project.

Work with just ten pieces you haven't been choosing.

Try on anything you're uncertain about, then decide whether to keep, donate or repair it by a specific date. Recycle clothes that are no longer usable.

Return only what you've chosen to keep, and put wearable donations directly into a bag.

I follow this page below and have shared some of her posts in the past. Thought I would share this link to a page with Holiday drinks. With Thanksgiving next week you might want to find a signature drink to serve for this holiday. Cheers!

I guess it's time for holiday content. I keep seeing all the Christmas stuff in stores and now Facebook is feeding me holiday drinks.

Not mad about it because I want to try every one of these!

How true this is. I have way too many mugs. I got 8 mugs with the dish set I bought when I moved into my current home. I find them too small but they match the set so I kept them. I have other larger ones and ones I have received over the years as gifts or prizes. Now I have one entire shelf (which is 2 cupboards) of mugs. I really need to get rid of some! I will never use that many mugs.

A shelf gets crowded, so you add another basket. Then another shelf. Somehow the category keeps expanding to fill the new space too.

Sometimes the storage is not the problem.

Pick one category and decide what “enough” looks like before buying more capacity for it. A physical limit can make future decisions much easier.

We put a lot of effort into our lawn during the spring and summer months, and it deserves the same quality of care throughout the fall and winter. Over the next week, I'll be sharing tips on how to winterize your lawn ❄

1. Lower Your Mowing Height - as we enter the fall, slowly begin to lower your mower to its normal height; shorter grass height prevents matting under snow or leaves.

2. Aerate in Early Fall - if your lawn is looking patchy, early fall is the time to aerate and seed bare patches before the first frost.

3. Fertilize - fertilize your lawn with a slow-release fertilizer that will feed your grass nutrients over the winter and prepare it to grow in the spring.

This is a good idea but sometimes you do need more then one. You can never have enough tongs. I also have 2 whisks, a small one and a large one. There is a difference.

Empty one kitchen drawer and group together everything that does the same job.

Then choose the version you actually reach for first. Keep a second only when you genuinely use both at the same time.

The goal is not a perfectly arranged drawer. It’s a drawer where your everyday tools are visible, easy to grab, and easy to return.
