Falling Back, Doesn’t Mean Falling Behind on Home Maintenance

Turning back time…

Are you all refreshed from the extra hour or sleep?
Or are you lamenting over the dark creeping in before dinner?
Maybe some of both!

I do apologize now for giving you more to to do in your day but maintenance is important stuff. Ignore things and they fall apart. That goes for your house, relationships and yourself, so don’t let things slip under the radar.

In this super quick 4 minute video I hit you with 10 easy doable tasks to tackle this week as we settle into the roll out of winter.
