    In addition to removing our hoses, we also shut the water off to the hose hookup so that the pipes don’t freeze and burst in the winter.

    We also do edging of our grass along the sidewalk and driveway.

    And add foam insulation to our garage window.

    I am just in love with your printables. I’m naturally a very organized person and I love having a check list to complete. I’m currently working on an All The Things Binder to keep all my plans in one spot. Your printables have been a wonderful addition, and love how colorful and fun they are. I will be purchasing your Life Management bundle soon. Thank you for providing such wonderful products.
