HOMESTEAD TIP OF THE DAY

IN TODAY'S EDITION

🧺 YOUR FALL HOMESTEAD RESET CHECKLIST

In the Garden:

• Pull summer crops that are done producing

• Plant cover crops (like clover or rye)

• Mulch beds to protect soil

In the Pantry:

• Take stock of canning jars, freezer space, and dry goods

• Use up older preserves before opening new ones

• Restock staples like flour, oats, and beans

Around the Home:

• Swap summer linens for warmer bedding

• Clean chimneys, stoves, or fireplaces before first use

• Create a cozy “gathering spot” — throw blanket, candle, and a good book

Finding Deeper Purpose in Your Homestead 💚

💛 MINDSET MOMENT: THE POWER OF TRANSITION SEASONS

Research from Dr. Christine Carter, author of The Sweet Spot, shows that transitional times — like the shift from summer to fall — are the best opportunities for lasting habit changes.

Why?

• Our brains expect new routines

• We naturally slow down

• There’s symbolic “fresh start” energy in the air

💡 Try choosing one new habit this month:

• Morning tea on the porch before your phone

• Weekly soup night

• 10 minutes of decluttering each evening

Small shifts in transition seasons can last longer than New Year’s resolutions.

Autumn invites us to gather, store, and rest. It’s a reminder that slowing down is part of the work — that rest is as essential as planting or preserving.

Here’s to warm kitchens, full jars, and hearts at peace this fall. 🍂
