Make Your Home Smell Good - Fall Simmers via Clean Mama

I love the way a warm scent can conjure up memories or just make a smelly room smell better. Want to invoke that fall feeling in your home? Try a little simmer – it will get your home smelling fallish in a hurry. Gather any combination of the following ingredients – you only NEED one or two things, but you can combine to your heart’s content.
