Fall means its time to prep your home for cold weather, tame that garden, feed your lawn, and rid your home of those spooky sounds and smells!

Last year many Portland, OR area homeowners faced some serious challenges in the fall and winter.  Record amounts of rain, serious snow and ice, and windstorms causing power outages, knocking down trees and fences cost homeowners thousands in damages. To help you better prepare for the fall and winter weather, I've rounded up five articles with great advice for maintenance this time of year.

Songs About Home

Lately I've been thinking about what I could do to make my open houses better.
Food? Check. I always like to bring some snacks. 
Drink? Check. I've been making a point to bring bottled water.
Music? ... Thats it!

Of course, the number one thing my open houses are lacking is a little music. As a realtor who loves good food, good drink, and good music, why hadn't I thought of this before? 

I added my obvious ones, 'Coming Home' by Leon Bridges, 'Home' by Edwards Sharp and the Magnetic Zeros, and 'Home' by Phillip Phillips, did a little Spotify research and added a couple more I love and missed, like 'Bring It On Home to Me' by Sam Cooke and 'Our House' by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. Next I polled my friends, family, and Facebook followers and got a whole bunch more. Thanks everyone for the wonderful suggestions, I added just about all of them to the playlist.

So here it is, "Open House - songs about home" 

Do you have any songs about home that you love? They could also be songs that remind you of home, or evoke a cozy, fun, or homey feel. Let me know in the comments!
