Four Things You Need To Do This Weekend As We Spring Forward

Spring is here and this weekend we spring forward and begin daylight savings time. It goes without saying that we will need to change our clocks on Sunday, but there some other things you should be doing around your house this weekend.  Our friends at Good Housekeeping listed the top four things to do to keep your household in order.

1.  Change the batteries in your smoke alarm.  It’s a good idea to change the batteries once a year, so doing it the same weekend as changing the clocks is an easy way to stay on top of it.

2.  Restock your emergency kit.  If you already have an emergency kit at home, go through it to make sure nothing has expired.  If you DON’T have one, put one together this weekend.

3.  Clean out your fridge, pantry, and medicine cabinet.  Toss anything that’s expired or you’re no longer using, and use up anything that’s expiring soon.

4.  Flip your mattress.  Some mattresses should be flipped once or twice a year to avoid irregular wear, and it’s easy to remember if you do it the same weekend you change your clocks.
