It's officially fall (or autumn depending on the term you prefer). Kids are back in school, the weather is changing along with the leaves, and holidays are on the way. Our focus has turned from summer fun and gardening to home and family and preparing for events to come.

We're already thinking about special occasions that will arrive soon, and there's no better time to start preparing. Begin by getting all those Weekly Cleaning Chores and Monthly Cleaning Chores out of the way. Then you can move on to something a bit more fun such as decorating and adding some seasonal charm to your living spaces.

A good place to start preparing for holidays is Getting the Guest Room Ready for Guests or maybe you're feeling the urge to Update Your Guest Room. You may decide that other spaces could also use some updating, such as A Children's Play Space.

You might want to add some autumn inspiration to various areas of your home with these 3 Fun Fall Leaf Wreaths or 3 Natural Autumn Centerpieces. If you're looking for a contemporary way to welcome fall, these Contemporary Fall Wreath Ideas may be just the ticket.

You can also add some interest to the autumn table with Pretty Plates or expand to something more elaborate. Find out how in What is a Tablescape? If it's frugal fall decorating you're interested in, try these Five Tips for Affordable Autumn Decorating.

Before you begin decorating with natural elements, you might want to investigate Tips for Use and Care of Leaves for your Décor. Treating leaves before use will help them look better and last longer.

*We'll be sharing more ideas with you soon and we'd love to hear from you. Your feedback is important and appreciated, so please don't hesitate to comment. Thank you for reading and we hope you'll visit again next week.
