I have three kids (a baby in diapers), a dog, and a boyfriend with stinky feet . I am going for the cinnamon smell, a chrismas smell with a pine christmas tree. How can I duplicate this smell, or are there any tricks to make the smell og throughout the house and last long w/o being overbearing.

Get some holiday potpourri

When I had a wood stove, I had a pot that I filled with water,
sliced apples, and cinnamon. The aroma smelled like I was
baking when people came over. Everyone loved it.
Now I have one of those small crockpots that I got at wal-mart
during christmas one year for $5.00 I use it now. It's made to actually cook in (it's not one of those made to to put scents in). It's great because I can use it to cook in when I need to.
You can do this on the stovetop too.

Bath and body works makes great holiday scented oils. The tree kind smells like a fresh cut tree. They have the candles, wall plugs and the oil. You can get Christmas potpourri and sick it in a pot over low heat as well.

Clean it with Pine-Sol and use some Lysol Spray for the dog and boyfriends stinky feet

I agree the Wunder- you can also put a very small dab (tip of a qtip) on lightbulbs, but don't overdo it! Also on dryer sheets to make laundry smell good. You can also put cinnamon sticks, whole clove, a nutmeg, and orange peel and water on low on a burner, but keep an eye on it so it doesn't boil away and burn.

totally easy and totally cheap. soak real cinnamon sticks in a jar of olive oil with a tight lid for a couple of days... then, just like u put out candles, pour some of the oil in a little bottle with one or two of the sticks standing up in it, put em all over ur house and the smell will permeate the air!! its awesome! if u dont believe me, check out marthastewart.com, haha

CLEAN YOUR HOUSE!!! I DONT MEAN TO SAY YOUR HOUSE ISNT CLEAN. I MEAN IF YOU USE CLEANING PRODUCTS THAT SMELL PINE FRESH FOR INSTANCE..CLEAN THE WALLS AND ANY MOPPABLE FLOORS...PUT SOME CARPET FRESH ON THE FLOOR BEFORE YOU VACUME...AND USE AIRFRESHNER...I PERSONALLY LIKE FEBREEZE AND THEY HAVE THE NEW HOLIDAY SMELLS AS WELL. THEN OF COURSE THE FURNITURE POLISH CAN SMELL GREAT TOO....PUT A FEW AIRFRESHNERS NEAR THE TRASH CAN ...DIAPER PAIL IF YOU USE ONE OR WHEREVER....AND MAYBE INVEST IN SOME CORNSTARCH ( TO SNEAK IN YOUR GUYS SHOES AND SOCKS ON OCCASION) IT WILL FEEL GOOD ON HIS FEET AND NOT BE SO STINKY FOR YOUR HOME.

buy some candles and set them in the same place,like on a coffee table! Buy ones like: sweet pea,pumpkin spice,cucumber melon,plain vanilla,vanilla caramel,and some other candles,and set them on the same table.Trust me,your house will smell good in no time!!!!
