5 tips for a good fall

Over the last few years I have learned quite a bit about how to make the fall season go a little bit “easier.” Here are my top 5 tips to have a good fall!

Number 1: be prepared (as much as possible) Have meals prepped ready in the freezer. Have lunch meat, cheese, and bread in the fridge and also extras in the freezer so you don’t have to run to the grocery store during the week. Have easy, on-the-go snacks ready for lunches. Have lots of ice packs!

Lots of sunsets from work

Number 2: be okay with living in a mess. I’ll be honest, keeping the house clean during busy seasons is HARD. You’re rarely home but somehow, the house still gets dirty! Be okay and give yourself grace. You are doing your best!

Number 3: find the positivity in not-so-good situations. There is always something to be thankful for. Even during breakdowns and rainy days, there is still some positivity to be found! Having a negative attitude is not going to help the situation so think as positive as you can!

Number 4: SAFETY. This is so important and should always be in the back of your mind. If you’re working around large equipment whether it be tractors, grain/fertilizer legs, conveyors, augers, all things moving, you have to be on the look out for dangers. Your number 1 goal each day should be making it home safely to your family every night.

Planting plots

Number 5: give yourself grace. You are trying your hardest and doing your best and that’s all anyone can ever ask of you! No matter your role or position whatever you’re doing is enough. Be kind to yourself and give yourself grace.

Have a smooth & safe harvest! Happy fall!🌱
