NATIONAL LAUNDRY DAY Celebrate: Let Us Do It for You
Sprout Your Kids’ Imagination
With spring officially underway, April showers starting to bring May flowers, and Earth Day on April 22, now is a great time for outdoor family activities. ONE FOR THE BIRDS Making a pine cone bird feeder is a fun and inexpensive project. In addition to creating and hanging your bird feeder, you’ll get hours of extra entertainment from watching the birds it will attract to your yard. If your kids are older, take photos of the birds or note their colors and features and look them up in a field guide or online. This craft just requires a pine cone (the bigger the better), peanut butter, and some twine or string. Top the peanut butter with “sprinkles” of mixed birdseed or small pieces of nuts and fruit to appeal to even more birds. For full instructions, visit TheSpruce.com and search “pine cone bird feeder.” AN EGG-CELLENT PLANTER Save those eggshells from breakfast (and the paper carton, too!) and use them to start a garden! Your little ones will enjoy planting some seeds, watering them, and watching them sprout and grow into something new. When the sprouts are big enough and it’s warm enough outside, you can plant the shell and carton directly into the ground! This easy project just requires rinsed eggshell halves, some lightly moistened potting soil, and seeds of your choosing. Note that smaller seeds, like those for herbs, lettuces, peppers, or tomatoes, work best for this project. For full instructions, visit GardenBetty.com and search “starting seeds in eggshells.” STICK WITH MAGIC Nature is a magical place. Many kids know this instinctively and often point out things adults take for granted or overlook, like bright-colored leaves, fun-shaped rocks, and acorn “hats.” Making a nature wand is a great way to let your kids explore their environment, whether that’s in your backyard, on a neighborhood walk, or in your favorite park. Let their imaginations run wild with what their magic wand can do! This simple project starts with a stick and masking tape. Your kids add all the extra flair by hunting for natural treasures and sticking them onto their wand. Complete instructions can be found at LaughingKidsLearn.com/nature-wands-outdoor-play .
National Laundry Day, celebrated on April 15, gives us the opportunity to highlight our laundry services here at Janet Davis Cleaners once again! As one of our fastest growing services, we are happy to continue helping people find relief as we take care of their laundry troubles. However, that’s not all. This holiday is a great time to inform family or friends that you know a solution for their laundry struggles. When piles of laundry start to appear in the corners of the room or on top of laundry baskets, it can be stressful just to look at. Sorting, loading, unloading, drying, and folding those clothes is often too much work for one person or a family to handle on their own. In fact, the average family spends more than six hours a week doing laundry. With our Wash-Dry-Fold laundry service, your loved ones can free up their time and reduce their stress. No matter what dirty laundry you may have — socks, sheets, towels, T-shirts, undergarments, washcloths, pillowcases, gym shorts, or sweats — we can clean, dry, and fold it for you. What’s more, you can either bring your items directly to one of our locations nearest you, or we can pick up your items and deliver them back to you. Once your clothes are with us, we make sure the clothing pockets are empty, then sorted and cleaned individually; your clothes will not be mixed with any other person's clothes. Our professional machines thoroughly wash your clothes and automatically inject softener to guarantee softness. We then dry using moisture- sensing dryers that help keep static down by not overdrying. Your clothes are then removed and folded immediately. Rest assured that all folding surfaces are thoroughly disinfected with clothing- safe Lysol spray before each use. After your clothing has been folded, it is wrapped in plastic and placed into your bag to be delivered back to you discreetly and safely. If you know someone who would benefit from our Wash-Dry-Fold laundry service, give them our number: 248-543-0340. Our team is ready to help!
