How to have your home smelling like fall

I love so many different things about fall. The weather is amazing, the leaves change colour and the sunsets are absolutely gorgeous. But I especially love all the scents associated with fall – clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, apple. They all smell so wonderful!

Simmer Pots

Simmer pots are an easy, all-natural way to make it smell and feel like fall throughout your home. All you have to do is add your fall-scented ingredients to a pot and let it simmer on the stove.

How to Create a Simmer Pot

Fill a small saucepan with water and bring it to a boil. Add the ingredients from your favorite recipe, continue to boil for a few minutes, then turn the heat down to simmer. Keep an eye on it and add water as needed, usually every 30 minutes or so.
