Who doesn’t like or need advice on anything in your daily life from working on your credit, all the way to last minute Halloween Costume ideas? A couple of months ago, I found a site that has so many helpful tips for my family. I am a HUGE organizing nut. Ask anyone that knows me. Everything has its place and everything has a label. What I love about the Scott Common Sense Community is that there are so may tips, including organizing tips. Do you have fall clutter? Scott Common Sense can help you declutter!

One tip that I really found helpful was how to store holiday wreaths. Mine always end up smooshed!

I am trying to eat better this month. We are also going to try and keep the house warm enough to be comfy but conserve energy bu wearing warmer clothes if we are cold.
The changes I am making this month are for personal growth. I am ceasing to criticize my life or the lack in my life and I am beginning to count my blessing and live my life from the stand point of gratitude. I have to stop and smell the roses and appreciate that there are roses to smell. On the green front I am recycling now. And purchasing good quality shopping bags to save on plastic or paper now I say neither I have my own.
To make myself walk more–I will limit watching tv to 1 hour for every half mile I walk.
I am working on eating better. I’m pregnant, so I know it’s important!
I will try to conserve electricity and water at home instead of being so wasteful

I want to concentrate on making more healthy foods from scratch.
i am going to smile through all the hard times, and have faith that everything will get better. strength in oneself. work hard to stay healthy mentally and physically.
I will only buy what’s needed so we can have the things we want for Christmas this year.
I will try to exercise.
I’ve started organizing my house (and my life!)
I’m going to do a lot more exercise this month – once my baby finally decides to leave and I can move around again that is!
I’m going to strengthen my character by doing just one thing I have been procrastinating about every day and by this time next year all my back work should be just about caught up. Great giveaway. Thanks.
I’m going to do some Fall cleaning.

I have decided to change my eating habits and get more exercise so last week I walked a total of 10 miles threw blisters and the heat
and because we only have 1 income I bought a very used treadmill to help in the losing weight and exercise program which hopefully will last a few months. I have given up soda a while ago and have been drinking water. We all ready recycle but will try to go even greener on products we buy. I already budget as much as I can but have been cutting back even more on anything we really do not need. We have cut back on eating out after kids sporting events. I have cut back on buying processed food and make more items from scratch.
Thank you so much for giving me a chance to be a winner

I’d love to REALLY clean my house, and then keep it that way instead of letting it pile up during the week and trying to catch up on the weekends.
I’ve decided to switch to LED lights this Christmas…hopefully I won’t put it off to long and actually go out & get them this month!
Thanks for the giveaway.
With cold weather on the horizon, I’m going to plan weekly meals a little more carefully and incorporate some good hearty veggie soups into that plan.
the changes ive made for the better is…trying to conserve on my electric bill..using more coupons and spending less on items i dont necessarly need
I will reduce household clutter this month by packing up the kids’ outgrown clothing and listing it on Freecycle for others to use.

I started walking after dinner with my husband. Helps us sleep better and more relaxed.
something I’ve already started doing, I try to get in a workout every day, and I’ve been eating healthier
I will no longer drop the mail on the table when I come in the door. I will actually go thru it and put it where it belongs (bills on office desk, crap in trash, coupons on fridge, etc.) I’ve been meaning to do that for a long time, and now is as good a time as any!
Thanks for the giveaway, $100 would come in super handy this time of year (or any time, really!)
I am going to try to be more open to others. Sometimes in my day, I see someone who looks like they could use a kind word and I want to be the person to offer that kindness.
Too often, I am caught up in my own dramas, but when I think about it my troubles are small and if I can help someone shoulder a heavier burden, I will do it.
Sappy, but well, true.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I will begin to pay down debts.

My chances come from the heart, head and health. From the heart-I will give all my bottle return money for the winter to a soup kitchen in Pontiac, MI. From the head-think twice before I agree to volunteer to some activity this month and health…..try not to gain weight-or too much weight etween Thanksgiving and Christmas.

hi, our garage needs major cleaning and reorganizing. Once we do that, I think we can unload some things from our closets and put in the garage (so we have more closet space). I think the best way to look at all of this stuff is to remember that everything is always a work in progress. Thanks!
I am going to start using a water filter instead of wasting plastic with plastic water bottles.

I volunteer once a week with seniors. Good for the soul
will be giving away some hand me downs and coats for kids.
Changes for the better were hard this month since I got bad news about employment. But, on the bright side, I find that some basic “green” cleaners can be homemade, cheaper, effective and better for us and the Earth.
I am going to only eat healthy home cooked meals – cheaper and better for me!
I have started going to be at a normal time. The dishes will be there in the morning to wash, but I have to take better care of myself.

My son is trying to win the distinguished student award for his class. One criteria is 20 hours of community service. This is a great way for us to have some quality time together. We have cooked together for the soup and kitchen, and walked dogs at the animal shelter. I am hopping that we can continue this even after the 20 hours.
I’ll be going closet to closet, drawer by drawer, weeding out unused items and donating them to our local shelter house.

I started using cloth diapers this month for my 2 yr. old and my 3month old. I was tired of the waste from all of the disposables and love being able to do this.
I take a walk every evening and take a garbage bag with me–as I walk I pick up trash I see along the way. I take 4 different routes.
I have stopped eating out so much so that we save money.

I am trying to cut out as much processed food as I can, cooking from scratch and eating fresh foods. I find this a hard habit to break, especially once I get busy and the convenience of just grabbing something to heat up is so much easier.
I have started sewing. I’m able to find cheap fabric at garage sales and can make the cutest little clothes for my daughters. I’m just starting but hope to get good. I know I could save a lot of money by doing this.
I will eat less sweets
I will be doing a lot more cleaning than I have in the past few months. With the holidays around the corner, I’d like to have a cleaner house.
