Free printables for the home – art, inspiration, seasonal decor, & organization
Today as with the commercialization of many religious holidays, Advent means big bucks for business. Chocolates, beer, wine, and all kinds of Advent calendars and kits abound. They have turned Advent into another gift-giving spree. If you want to simply celebrate Advent, make a wreath or calendar and add activities that enhance the season.
I’m a big planner and I like to make lists. There is a satisfaction in checking off completed tasks. Do you make lists? A big list this time of year is my gift list for Christmas. Family, friends, and people who make my life better are on the list. When I was working, I’d read about people giving a gift to the mail carrier. It seemed odd as I had no idea who delivered my mail. I was at work.

In two weeks, it will officially be the first day of Autumn. Fall is the time of year when the trees make a grand exit in preparation for winter. Color abounds, a nip is in the air, and fall harvest brings us apples, artichokes, arugula, broccoli, cauliflower, chard, pomegranates, maple syrup, nuts, pumpkins and so many winter squashes.

I’ve been busy working inside my home while avoiding the August heat. Working on crafts of all kinds, I finished recipe cards in 3 designs. I know we all like to pin recipes, use Yum, and apps, but I still like pretty cards. I often give baked goods as gifts and an enclosed card with the recipe is a nice touch. The recipe cards are two to an 8.5 x 11 inch page. You can print and put in a binder or cut out the individual cards.
It is hot and steamy here in Florida, and I’ve been staying inside and keeping busy with projects and home maintenance. There are some things that I do each fall like changing filters, checking batteries in smoke detectors, CO monitor, etc. Because it’s so hot, I’m starting early this year. Depending on where you live in the country, most folks probably have a couple of months of good weather left before the temperature drops. That means now is a great time to create a plan and take some precautions in getting ready for the new season. Living in Florida, I don’t have to do a lot of autumn prevention like up north. When I lived in Michigan, there was a longer list to protect and maintain equipment before the snows came. Here are some basic tips for fall maintenance. I’m including a printable Fall Maintenance Checklist and Autumn Bucket List for fun. Some of these items may be done now, in September, or even October.

Living in Florida, I can have a picnic year round. In my backyard, at a county park, or at the beach, I enjoy being outside with family and friends. Even the food tastes better outside.
