3 Fall Updates for Your Home

By: dmvollmer

Fall is finally arriving here in the Valley – this is when the weather here in Phoenix is at its best! I always like to make a few updates each season. I start to pull out the decor at the beginning of September and keep it up until Thanksgiving…then it’s on to Christmas.

1 – Fall Decor

Pumpkins, cornucopias, turkeys, fall leaves…all perfect fall decor updates. After Halloween, I pack away all the Jack-o-lanterns (no pumpkins with faces) but the rest stay.

2 – Fall Scents

Scents evoke emotions and memories. Fall is the scents of spice, citrus, and cranberries. I swap out my candles and cleaning products and soaps.Fall scented candles

One of my favorites scented candles that I’ve been using for years is Bath and Body Works Fall Leaves with scents of apples and clove spice.

I like to update the cleaning products that I use in my kitchen – dish soap, spray cleaning and hand soap. This fall I went with Mrs. Myers Orange Clove. Love that their bottles are pretty enough to display out on my counter.

3 – Seasonal Flowers

Time to update my flower beds and pots with fresh annuals. I usually go with yellows, oranges, and reds.

 

Do you update your home each season? What do you do for Fall?

Merry Christmas 🎄 We skipped Santa photos thi Merry Christmas 🎄 

We skipped Santa photos this year (way past the believing in Santa years but its still a fun tradition...hopefully next year). #flashback Friday to Bs 1st Christmas (2006), and then 2017, 2018 and 2019.

Merry Christmas Eve 🎄 How are you doing? Scram Merry Christmas Eve 🎄

How are you doing? Scrambling to get things ready for tomorrow or enjoying hot cocoa by the tree? We mommas take on so much of the holiday prep so I would expect most of us are still getting things ready.

I wanted to share MY two best tips for holiday prep and I’d love to hear YOURS

Tip 1 - Santa Sacks. We invested in these years ago. Pop in the gift and pull on the drawstring and you’re all set. We use these for gifts from Santa and wrap the others. Time saver and saves a ton of wrapping paper, thats a win!

Tip 2 - Put a lock on a closet and turn it into your gift closet. No worries about your kids discovering their gifts AND easy to find all your gifts. Who is still searching for gifts they can’t remember where they put them. A closet in a guest room or office is perfect.

B and I had a blast playing with @superimpulse’s B and I had a blast playing with @superimpulse’s #tinyarcade Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and #microarcade Frogger. So fun and an awesome idea for stocking stuffers.

We put together a huge list (over 100 ideas) of stocking stuffers for teenage boys (link in bio). They can be so hard to shop for and not so helpful when you ask for ideas.

Did you know #nutcrackers are a German tradition thought to bring good luck and fight away evil spirits?

Having trouble finding spaces to display some of my holiday decor as many of my surfaces are covered with plants now 🌱❤️ and then I realized these wall shelves were perfect. I stashed away the art that is usually sits on these shelves (and hides the huge doorbell box and security system glass sensor) and replaced with our @traderjoes #adventcalendar and #nutcrackers

This is freshman year, 2020. He’s on a zoom wit This is freshman year, 2020.  He’s on a zoom with his class. Chatting on a call with classmates who are also virtual. Also planning his run for class president. One thing 2020 has taught him is technical skills and multitasking.

Do your kids sit in unusual positions when studying/virtual schooling? For 2020, what ever works. He has a 4.0 and all caught up on assignments. He’s staying to connected to his classes and friends. School is still open for in-person but we decided to switch him to virtual after Thanksgiving because we thought numbers would rise (and they did).
