some spring….err, summer cleaning!

My husband has been gone for 12 days. That is a crazy long time to be home by yourself! I have been busy with little projects around the house….mostly that “spring cleaning” that I never got to. And now that it is officially summer, I guess it was partially summer cleaning!

I am forever finding things on Pinterest that I want to do for the house. Well, I finally got around to doing some of them this past weekend! And I am so excited, and thought I should share…

FREE PANTRY PRINTABLES

I have been wanting to reorganize my pantry ever since I moved in this house and unpacked those boxes in a hurry some 6 months ago. I also have been wanting to print out some of these awesome charts and helpful tips I see flying around Pinterest and hang them up in my pantry. YAY!

Don’t forget, I am a coupon queen….so I stock pile a lot of pantry items! Read my coupon tips HERE!

The first printable I found was a NC “What’s In Season Chart” from the NC Department of Agriculture…. (click on image to go to printable link). Now, I know all of our readers don’t live in NC….but just google your state name with “vegetable chart” and I bet you find one 🙂

The next one is a reminder to always try healthier options! Like substituting Chobani Greek Yogurt for butter, mayo, cream cheese, buttermilk, oil and sour cream. Who knew? Now, I haven’t tried these yet…..but this is a reminder to me to try them! (click on image to go to Chobani’s website to find image)

The best part about these prints. I just bought 8.5×11 simple frames at my local craft store. They were only $2.00 each! This way, I can print them on my home printer using standard 8.5×11 printer paper and just change out the prints when I want!

FREE LAUNDRY PRINTABLE

Another great printable I found was for the laundry room describing methods for treating different kinds of stains: coffee, ink, grass, paint, lipstick, red wine, etc. I couldn’t think of a more perfect framed print for the laundry room!
