Welcome to my new blog series! As you may have read last week, the idea for this series stemmed for a from a conversation over lunch
with a friend who needed a quick chore prompt to help her tackle chores over
and above her daily cleaning.
This week, we are tackling the refrigerator folks. That over
stuffed, sometimes smelly place we rely on daily.

Baking Soda Cleaning Tips & A New Weekly Chore Prompt series!
in #weeklychoreprompt, chores, cleaning, homemaking, spring cleaning, tips, by Linda A Kinsman, Friday, May 08, 2015
Happy Friday dear readers and if you are a Mom- happy Mother’s
Day to you! I hope you enjoy your special day and will have a no-cleaning
Sunday! If you are a busy Mom like me, you may be half way through your spring
cleaning and despair that you have so much more to do. Never fear- Linda is
here!
Welcome to my Weekly Chore Prompt:
While talking with a friend over lunch recently, she
remarked that she wished she had a guide to help her keep on top of both
the big and the little chores she should do every week; beyond making the bed,
or sweeping the floor. That gave me the wonderful idea to share a weekly chore
with you here. These won’t be anything fancy, no need to print -just a quick
post sharing what area of my home I’m focusing on that week. Hopefully we can
get and keep our home sparkly clean and clutter free together!
If you are sitting at a desk reading this right now, do me a
favor please; take a quick inventory of your pens. I’m betting at least one of
them is a Pentel. Personally, I have
loved Pentel products most of my life because my Mom, a busy account manager,
used their pens almost exclusively. That’s
why I was happy to work with #Shopletreviews who provided me with complementary Pentel products to share my thoughts with you. All opinions are my own.
Happy 50th
Pentel!
Pentel of America sold its first pen in 1965. That’s the
same year the Gemini 6 and Gemini 7 space capsules conducted the first Earth
orbit rendezvous in history. And, here’s
a little known fact, each astronaut carried a Pentel Sign Pen in their sleeve
pocket!
The Pentel Sign Pen made another famous appearance in 1965
when then United States President Lyndon B. Johnson proclaimed his “Great
Society” during his State of the Union Address. He signed the Address with a
Pentel.
Admittedly, I’m not signing anything as important as a
former President, and I’m certainly never going to be an astronaut – but I
still sign and write some pretty important pieces of paper her in my little
corner of the world.
My family and I love Pentel’s new Vicuna line of low viscosity fine ballpoint pens. They come in a
rainbow of ink colors and write ultra smooth while drying fast on the page.
Perfect for quick notes and homework, these pens are already migrating into
other parts of our home.

Equally easy to use is the Twist –Erase III fine point
automatic pencil with a jumbo eraser. My daughters prefer mechanical pencils
for school work and found the ergonomic comfort grip a huge plus.
My personal favorite of all the Pentel products sent to me
for review is hands down the Pentel EnerGel Alloy medium point roller ball pen.
It has the style and feel of a much more expensive pen. The
quality of ink makes it a superb writing pen that I will keep handy for signing
important papers that need a smooth, quick dry- no smear signature.
You can shop and save on these Pentel products and other
office supplies by visiting the links found on each product above and by
visiting Shoplet.com.

you are using today?

daughters and the prayer of thanks I immediately sent up, followed quickly by
the fervent wish that my babies be healthy. Thankfully, I had easy pregnancies and two
beautiful, healthy newborns, who are now beautiful healthy teens.

The weather calls me outside and into my flower beds who need my attention desperately! Still, I have blooms aplenty in my front flower bed that make me smile and simply ignore the weeding I must do this weekend.
