On By Western Mutual BlogIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

As winter comes to an end and we prepare for spring to bloom, many people take this time to do some house cleaning in preparation with a nice little tune.

We would like to give you some tips on making this process a breeze, it’ll make your home look good by getting rid of the dust but it might make you sneeze.

So take on this task and prepare yourself well, here is the list to make this season go swell.

  • Create a list of all the rooms and the items that need to be taken care of in each, regardless of where you start just make sure you finish one room before moving on to the next
  • De-clutter before sanitizing or dusting as an organized room, pantry or closet compels the mind to continue cleaning and eliminates unnecessary stress
  • Always work from top to bottom, especially if removing cobwebs or dusting ceiling fans. And before vacuuming, clean table/counter tops to knock dust off
  • Eliminate the germs that ruled during winter by washing curtains in hot water, replacing shower curtains and sanitizing light switches, sink handles, remote controls and soap pumps as the hand touches that before getting washed!
  • Don’t forget about your air filters and air ducts which build up dust and are the entryway for unwanted outdoor allergies

We hope this makes your spring cleaning a little easier, let us know your tips and tricks.

Leap Year 2020

This year is a special one, as this year we are given 366 days to wake up and be thankful. That’s because 2020 is a Leap Year, which only occurs every four years. But what and when exactly is Leap Day?

Leap Day was generated as an additional calendar day for the month of February in order to keep our modern Gregorian calendar in alignment with our planets rotation around the sun.

Fun fact about this special occurrence, an easy way to determine if the year we are in is a Leap Year, divide it by 4 and you will get a whole number. If the number has a decimal then Leap Day will not occur that year.

  • Take advantage of the sun during the day and open the curtains to allow natural light and heat to enter
  • Set the thermostat to the lowest temperature that you can tolerate and only increase heat when you go to sleep to save on your heating bill
  • Layer clothing and use weighted blankets to stay warm instead of running heating system
  • Use blackout curtains to help block the flow of cold air from entering your home

Super Bowl Sunday is right around the corner and aside from which team you’ll be rooting for the most important question is what food will you be serving? We would like to share with you a Western Mutual favorite which is sure to be a first-pick with your guest. The game plan is as follows;

  • Half an onion peeled and diced into small pieces
  • 1 jalapeno deseeded and cut into small pieces
  • 1 pack of ranch dressing powder
  • 6 slices of cooked bacon, crumble into bits

Line a bowl with clear plastic wrap and mix all ingredients until ranch powder has been thoroughly blended into the cream cheese. Pull mix out of the bowl using wrap and fold over to completely wrap the dip. Shape into a football or any shape of your liking and serve with chips for a perfect Super Bowl Sunday appetizer.
