Let’s Winterize - Tip Page 1
Easy, affordable home winterization ideas with big impact (BPT) - Although you may prefer to forget, last winter’s subfreezing temperatures may not be an isolated occurrence. Weather experts are already discussing if El Nino and arctic air from a polar vortex will cause colder than normal winter weather throughout the country. Is your home ready to withstand the chill? Smart homeowners are taking time now to prepare their homes for the harsh weather. Winterizing not only helps maintain comfortable temperatures inside, but also helps lower your energy bill. Fortunately, some of the improvements that have the biggest impact are also easy to do and surprisingly affordable.
1. Seal gaps and cracks
The average midsize U.S. home has a half mile of gaps and cracks according to www.energystar.gov. Cold air infiltrates through those spaces causing your furnace to work overtime. An easy way to combat the problem is to use Great Stuff(TM) Gaps & Cracks to fill openings around electrical outlets, plumbing pipes, doors, dryer vents and more. Sealing your home takes just a few hours whether you do it yourself or work with a contractor. Visit dowgreatstuff.com/winterize to learn more.
2. Reverse fan blades
Your ceiling fans aren’t just valuable during summer - they can help reduce energy costs by circulating warm air that rises to the top of rooms. To ensure your fan is circulating the air correctly, you need to reverse the blades. Most modern ceiling fans have a handy switch that controls the blade direction. During the winter, set the blades to spin clockwise to help warm rooms and set to counterclockwise during summer for cooling breezes.
3. Eliminate drafty windows
Have you ever felt a draft as you walked by your window? Gaps around windows are a major source of heat loss. Seal out those drafts with Great Stuff(TM) Window & Door Insulating Foam Sealant. This specially formulated low-pressure sealant is easy to apply and insulates the window without bending the frame when properly applied. Another great tip is to open the curtains during the daylight hours on south-facing windows so the sun can help heat your home naturally. Close curtains when the sun sets to reduce the chill.
4. Install an adjustable thermostat
An adjustable thermostat is an effective tool for maintaining a comfortably warm home and cutting heating costs. If you have one but don’t have it set, now is the time to learn how. By adjusting the temperature down while you’re sleeping or away, you can save plenty of money. In fact, by turning your thermostat back 10 to 15 degrees for 8 hours, you can save 5 to 15 percent a year on your heating bill, according to energy.gov.
5. Tune up your furnace
If meteorologists’ predictions are correct, your furnace will be working hard this winter. Make sure it is working effectively and efficiently by scheduling a tune-up now. A qualified technician will check the coils and clean and lubricate important mechanical parts. Some utility companies offer free checkups to customers, so be sure to ask about your options. In addition to a tune-up, remember to change your furnace filter once a month during the heating season to maintain proper air flow.

Let’s Winterize - Tip Page 2
Heat your home without wasting energy this season
(BPT) - If you’re interested in living a greener lifestyle, perhaps you’re already trying to reduce your energy usage as much as possible. Maybe you ride your bike to work, unplug your electronics when they’re not in use, use fans during warm weather and avoid wasting water. Saving energy can get more difficult, however, when the seasons change and colder weather sets in. Heat is a primary source of energy usage. In fact, research from Tulikivi, the world’s largest manufacturer of heatretaining fireplaces, shows that 52 percent of a home’s annual energy consumption is allocated to heat. Now is the time to think about reducing your energy usage during the winter. Here are some ideas that will help you enjoy a warm, cozy home while saving both money and energy. Heat more efficiently A crackling fire makes for more than just a pleasurable experience; it can also be an energy-efficient heating source. Fireplaces from Tulikivi help heat your home long after the fire goes out. Tulikivi fireplaces are built from soapstone, which has better thermal conductivity compared to other materials because of its dense structure and mineral composition. For homeowners, this means once you start a fire in your fireplace, the soapstone will store heat in its thermal mass, allowing a two-hour burn to radiate heat for up to 24 hours. This lets you enjoy the clean, comfortable, cost-saving warmth without using additional energy. You can learn more about Tulikivi, the recycled materials used in its manufacturing process, the clean combustion of its masonry heaters and its commitment to sustainability at Tulikivi.us. Close the drafts One of the best ways to improve your energy efficiency is to reduce your energy waste. Window cracks and door drafts allow warm air to escape, which means you’re leaking both energy and money. Seal those areas by using caulk to shore up any drafty windows and put plastic wrap over the window surface to keep out the chill. For the door jambs, you can purchase a door stopper to plug the gap or you can use a towel at the base to block the opening. Try to close off the bottom of any exterior door, particularly the doors you seldom use. Make sure your other heating options are running efficiently When you’re not using your fireplace, it’s good to know your backup heating options are operating efficiently. Have your furnace inspected routinely and make sure you change the filter each month. You should also invest in a smart thermostat. This technology allows you to set the temperature of your home for different times of the day so you can lower it when you’re sleeping or away. The calendar option means you can program your home’s temperatures ensuring you never waste energy. Although it’s still nice outside, colder temperatures are on their way. That doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your green lifestyle when you cheeks turn red. By using the tips above, you’ll still enjoy the same warmth and comfort without the additional environmental impact. To learn more about Tulikivi, visit Tulikivi.us or find them on Facebook and Twitter.

“I absolutely loved the beautiful ad you did for us in your magazine. In fact I have it laminated to use in our promotions. Thanks so much for your outstanding work!” MaryJo Klier, Director of Kansas City Swim Academy
“Recently, Gwen Kemper was selected to market a property because this particular lady knew we advertised in the KCHOME and Lifestyle. In fact, she pulled out a recent issue to comment on our advertising and said she liked the fact that we did not just advertise on the Internet. Her home featured on the front cover and sold within a short time.” Micki Trotter/Gwen Kemper of Woodward Real Estate “20 years ago I started my career in real estate. KCHOME and Lifestyle evolved and our listings are distributed by the magazine to hundreds of websites world wide and we get a lot of leads from these websites. To this day, people instinctively pick up the KCHOME and Lifestyle magazine at the grocery store, and we still receive calls daily from those house hunters.”
“KCHOME and Lifestyle has been a great partner through the years. Always helpful.” Martin & MaryJo Ricono of Reece&Nichols Lee’s Summit

Jack O’Lanterns
Did you know? Traditionally, turnips and beets were used to create Jack O’Lanterns, instead of pumpkins.
Pumpkin Painting Stencils With stencils you can easily carve or paint great Halloween patterns on pumpkins, and create awesome looking pumpkins. Check these pictures of stencils out. Read more at Buzzle: http://www.buzzle.com/articles/pumpkin-paintingstencils.html Using pumpkin carving patterns can be easy, however, creating carving inside a pumpkin can be a bit messy and unsafe. Especially, unsafe for children if the carving knife is not handled properly can cause injuries. So, a safer way to decorate pumpkins is using paint colors. It doesn’t matter if you are an artist or not, today there are many different interesting stencils available which you can use to create some cool looking painted pumpkins.
Choosing Suitable Pumpkins For creating painted pumpkin faces, or shapes on pumpkins or scenes on pumpkins, it is important that you pick the best pumpkins. Small-sized pumpkins work best as they are easy to handle, faster to finish painting on, require less material and can be perched on a desk or on a shelf too. So, buy small-sized pumpkins. Also, they stay in shape for longer compared to larger pumpkins. If you are picking pumpkins from a patch, then cut the pumpkins with 2-3 inches of the vine still sticking to the stem of the pumpkin. Look for pumpkins which don’t have any gashes or blemishes. You can use blue, orange or white pumpkins for painting. Buying the Stencils Pumpkin painting stencils can also be ordered online, or you can find them in superstore during the season time or in stationery stores. You can also find some cool face painting stencils for kids, which you can use to apply neat makeup to match the children’s Halloween costume. They cost very less and you can find a set for just a few dollars. One stencil pattern can cost around a dollar or two. These are very easy to use stencils, and all you have to do is just place them on the pumpkin and apply paint to create cool looking painted pumpkin crafts. Or you can take inspiration from the above pictures and create simple drawings on paper and use them as stencils. Paints & Other Craft Materials There are various paints available which can be used on pumpkins to create some spooky shapes. Once you are done cleaning the pumpkin with wet wipes you can start painting on it with black paint or metallic paint. Or you can paint it completely with a matte base paint, so that it creates a surface on which other materials and paints can adhere easily. Use sequin, lace, craft foam to give the pumpkin a better look. You can also use glow in the dark paint, so that your pumpkins look even more scary.

Jack O’Lanterns
How to Use the Stencils? If you have bought the Halloween pumpkin stencils from a store, then using them is very easy. All you need to do is do is place the stencil neatly on the pumpkin. Either you can hold the stencil with your free hand, or ask somebody to hold it for you. Then use acrylic painting colors or one solid black color and with the brush fill up the hollows in the stencil. Then slowly and carefully take out the stencil and let the paint dry. If you wish to use the prints you took of the Halloween stencils you found on the Internet, then use these tips. Stick the paper to the pumpkin neatly with a sticky tape. Then use a push pin, and mark along the outlines of the shape. Then remove the paper and you will have an outline of the shape, which you can fill with color. Wicked Jack O’ Lantern Ideas • You can use an upside down bat stencil to paint a bat on the pumpkin. Then use few twigs and place them on top of the pumpkin to give an illusion of the bat hanging from the stencil. • Since, you will be using stencils and not carving the pumpkins, you can use glow in the dark paint with Jack O’ Lantern stencils. This will add a good depth on the pumpkins. • You can draw faces on the pumpkins, and use craft foam to give a dimension to the face. Add hair outline, or ears, or tail, whiskers, etc. to the face using craft foam. • You can take small star shapes and glow in the dark white paint, to paint loads of glowing starts on a black painted pumpkin. • A great way to add web-like structure to your Halloween decorations is using spun sugar. It is easy and fast to create. On a pumpkin paint tiny spiders. After that, place some spun sugar on it. • Make sure you use plenty of candles to give an eerie look to your decorations. You can use colored glass votive to keep it safe. • Make sure you pick good quality pumpkins, and if you are keeping the pumpkins outdoors, then get them inside during nighttime to avoid them from freezing.

“When my son Chen didn’t come up after going off the slide, I wasn’t thinking of all the pool’s safety steps. What mattered was what saved him.” No lifeguards were on duty, but I was right there. I saw that the pool had new safety drain covers. But what saved him was the CPR course I took. You can never know which safety step will save a life – until it does.
