Don't forget - we are SPRINGING FORWARD at 2am

Routines You Can Schedule Around Spring Forward Fall Back Around Your Home

Besides the obvious of changing your clocks to read the new time, you can use this regularly scheduled time change as a reminder to do some other things around your house too, that don't have to be done but a couple of times a year.

 Some examples of these include:

• Air and turn your mattresses
• Clean drapes and curtains, and replace lighter or heavier ones, depending on the season
• Wash rugs and clean carpets
• Clean your basement, garage and/or attic
• Take the time to make this your seasonal cleaning weekend, such as for spring cleaning
  
• Make sure your supplies are up to date in your first aid kit (check first aid kit checklist on Lisa' blog more details) 
• Check your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors at least once a year change the batteries in them, whether you think the batteries need to be changed or not
• Update your family's fire escape plans and practice a family fire drill

The reason that spring forward fall back time is such a good time to do these chores is because it comes during a change of seasons, when several things need to be done around your house.

Further, these types of routine things that don't occur at least monthly can be difficult to remember in general, and also to remember when you did it last. A set time every year can help jog your memory, making the task easier for you to recall.

So this year try doing some of these additional steps when you are going around to each room of your house (and don't forget your car!) changing your clocks.
