Get Organized Pittsburgh

Family Meeting
What are every one’s favorite Fall activities? Make sure to enjoy the season together by making sure that Fall events get on the calendar. Even block off some time for “NON-EVENTS” like taking a walk every Friday afternoon to really take in the sights, smells and sounds of the season.

Shop Locally
Take a break from the supermarket for one week and visit your local farmers market to fill your pantry with the abundance of the season. Try to eat what you have on hand. This also makes room for the holiday cooking supplies!

Closet Clean Up
This is the perfect time to visit local consignment shops as they are turning inventory and looking for fall/winter clothes. Take a close look at what you have not worn and weed out anything that are stained or don’t fit. Remember, you deserve to look nice every day, so why are we holding on to those items that we don’t feel GREAT in!

Home Sweet Home-Get Ready for Winter Before it Gets Too Cold!
Don’t wait until the last minute to put items away for winter. Service lawn mowers so that they are ready for spring, check insulation to save money on energy, and have the items like the furnace and chimneys maintained. This is a great times to clean out that garage get items ready for seasonal storage.

The Holidays are Coming…
It is time to start thinking about the Holidays. Just getting it into your head, where you will be going and what you will be doing. Perhaps looking at photo to see if you have a nice one to send or updating your addresses so you can be ready. Many people have their entire Holiday preparations done in July, but I prefer to keep it simple so that there is not an overwhelming amount of stuff to do and I can do it during the actual Holiday time!

These are my favorite things to consider in fall and when I pay attention and take care of these the winter never seems too stormy!
