Daylight Saving Time “to-do’s”

Daylight Saving Time starts this weekend so don’t forget to “Spring Forward” and turn your clocks ahead one hour Sunday!

Good Housekeeping has a few other things you should do, too:

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.

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.

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.

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.

What else is on your to-do list this weekend?
