how to deal with telemarketers

how to deal with telemarketers

My mother -in-law sent me this video and I found it to be especially funny seeing as my cell number has recently gotten in the hands of a few telemarketers! I have no doubt that the people on the other end of any of these calls are just trying to earn a living and more than likely don’t LOVE their jobs….but we have to find some way to keep things fun, right?

Hope you guys get as good a laugh from this as I did!

some spring….err, summer cleaning!

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!
