As the countdown to trick-or-treating begins, let’s make sure we have a safe and smart Halloween. Here are some tips to ensure a night of frightful fun:

Ensure your costume is visible at night. Add reflective tape or glow sticks to be seen by drivers.

Trick-or-treat with friends or family. There’s safety in numbers!

Stick to well-lit areas and neighborhoods you know. Create a trick-or-treat map.

Always have a buddy with you and never enter a stranger’s house.

Avoid walking on the road, and use crosswalks when crossing streets.

Parents, check your child’s candy before they dig in. Ensure all wrappers are intact.

Give others plenty of space and respect their property when trick-or-treating.

Make sure masks don’t obstruct your vision. Consider face paint or makeup instead.

Avoid open flames like candles in pumpkins. Opt for LED lights or glow sticks.

Carry a cell phone or have an emergency contact number memorized.

Keep pets indoors to avoid stress and accidents during the festivities.

If you have food allergies, carry an EpiPen and have non-allergenic treats on hand.

Let’s make this Halloween a memorable one, filled with treats and safety!

Every spring we prepare our homes for the upcoming summer season and in turn each fall for the winter season.

Whether you tackle these home maintenance tasks all in one weekend or spread them out over a few weeks, here is a quick list of some of the more commonly forgotten home maintenance tips for fall:

Change the direction of your ceiling fans (they should turn clockwise to circulate warm air).

Deep clean inside all appliances including your microwave, refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, etc.

Pull out all those same appliances and clean behind them, under them and in those areas you don’t want to clean, but should like the fridge coils, dryer vents and washing machine filter.

Inspect and clean windows, screens and weatherstripping to ensure no drafts will cool your home this fall and winter.

Defrost the freezer and give it a good deep clean.

Clean (or replace) the hood fan filter above your stove.

Replace the batteries and check that the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are working.

Replace summer gear (water toys, sunscreen, flip flops, etc.) with fall or winter gear (rain boots, gloves, touques, etc.)

Launder winter sheets and blankets to prepare for those cool nights on the horizon.

By having a clean home with all the necessary winter items at hand, you’ll be able to ease into the fall and winter a little bit easier.

Grateful for the small things the big things and everything in between!

Happy Thanksgiving from my Family to Yours!
