Home is where the family comes together, where we\u2019re protected from the elements, and where love abounds. Your home\u2019s November Honey-Do list will make sure your home is ready for the holidays, prepared for colder weather and loved inside and out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>1. Winterize your home \u2013<\/strong> For most of the country, November is the time when we can no longer deny that the colder weather has settled in. Now is the time to winterize summer tools and appliances like air conditioner units, grills and lawn mowers. Bring garden hoses indoors and check your windows and doors for drafts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>2. Make a Turkey Game Plan \u2013<\/strong> No coach would head to a big game without a game plan up his sleeve. Likewise, no chef should hit the kitchen without thinking through the menu and timeline first. Determine what menu items you can make ahead, decide what responsibilities you can delegate, and take an inventory of your pantry and china cabinet. Oh, and now\u2019s the time to clean that oven, too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>3. Polish the Silver and Dust off the China \u2013<\/strong> Thanksgiving is a special meal, which deserves the best of your entertaining arsenal. Because we don\u2019t often use our special dishes year round, it\u2019s smart to give them a good deep clean and polish before setting the table on Turkey Day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>4. Give your living room a refresh \u2013<\/strong> With the holidays ahead, your living room is sure to get plenty of use. Give the space a refresh by changing out the window treatments for a new look.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>5. Use some pest control \u2013<\/strong> Rodents and other pests are opportunistic and seek warmer environments when the temperatures drop. Be sure that they don\u2019t call your house their home by implementing these 5 surefire tricks to pest control.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>6. Clear out the gutters \u2013<\/strong> Avoid drainage problems and damage to your home\u2019s foundation by clearing out the gutters before snow and ice wreaks havoc. Here is an easy how-to guide to cleaning rain gutters on your home.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>7. Be ready for snow \u2013<\/strong> Before the first winter storm, it\u2019s a good idea to make sure your snow shovels and\/or snow blower are in proper working order. Ready to invest in a snow blower after the brutal winter last year? Here is a buying guide from Home Depot that will help you make an educated purchase.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>8. Start tackling the December to do list \u2013<\/strong> The holiday to do list is notoriously the longest of the year. Get a head start by ordering your holiday cards, updating your address book, and making a gift wish list for each of your family members NOW. You can even start stringing twinkle lights on your shrubbery before the deep chill sets in. After all, the most important part of the holidays is taking the time to enjoy our family and friends.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.coldwellbanker.com\/homes-november-honey-list\/\" target=\"_blank\">Your Home\u2019s November Honey-Do List<\/a> by Victoria Keichinger | Coldwell Banker Blue Matter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prep your home for the holidays and cooler weather with this list of home to dos that you\u2019ll be especially thankful for.
