Hello everyone:

I have met some great new people in the last few weeks from virtual AND in-person presentations! If you're new here - Welcome! I'm happy you're here!

We've just had a very busy family weekend! My oldest son and his beautiful bride got married. I'm not ready to share details about it because it is not my story to tell, but it was wonderful!

For the purpose of today's newsletter, though, I will tell you - even with out of town guests, multiple events and so many details to manage - the bags are all unpacked, everything is AWAY and the house is back to normal. SO I can get on with enjoying the memories and still be productive with my week. Learn more in this week's new article, Put Things AWAY! Before procrastination makes us stumble!

Fall is officially here - hooray! My favorite season of the year!

There are tasks to take care of in October, to get ready for colder weather, at least here in the Midwest. Check out these two resources:

• 6 Home Tasks You Should Tackle Every Fall (from Real Simple); and
• Maintain Your Home Today to Avoid Emergencies Tomorrow (from my blog)
