Quality Built for Better Living
It’s not too soon to start thinking about the holidays. October is a great time to start your wish list for Christmas as well as to purge items you no longer use or need to make room for your new treasures.
This is true for every room in the house. Maybe it is time to replace those dinner plates from college with something more you now. Or maybe it is time to clean out the little kid toys to make a space for a pre-teen. Now is a great time to start thinking and planning so you can take advantage of the upcoming sales.
Did you know 42% of house fires start in the kitchen and 3 out of 5 home fire deaths resulted from faulty smoke alarms. Only 43% of homeowners have an escape plan and only 40% of homeowners test their smoke and CO alarms monthly.
Fire Prevention Month is the perfect time to talk with your whole family about fire safety – including testing alarms, changing the batteries, making sure there is a fire extinguisher on every floor as well as in the garage and kitchen, and practicing an escape plan.
It’s time to say goodbye to those long, warm summer days and say hello to shorter days with crisp air and colorful leaves. It’s time for sweaters, bonfires and all your favorite fall foods.
It’s the Great Pumpkin! The pulp of this fall favorite is packed with Vitamin A and C and the seeds are rich in phytosterols, which may help lower cholesterol. With all the health benefits of pumpkins, try a Google search for some great pumpkin recipes like pumpkin hummus or ravioli with pumpkin alfredo.
Before you stow away the swimsuits and shorts, wash everything first to prevent bacteria and moths from ruining your clothes. Store summer clothes in a sealed storage box with dryer sheets between the layers to keep them fresh all winter long. For more delicate items, like summer dresses pop them in a cotton garment bag.
