Father's Day is this Weekend!

Father’s Day is this Sunday, June 17th.   What was the best advice you ever received from your Father?  Share it with us!  We’d love to hear it.

Or just enjoy some of these pithy quotes about our favorite dads:

"A new father quickly learns that his child invariably comes to the bathroom at precisely the times when he's in there, as if he needed company. The only way for this father to be certain of bathroom privacy is to shave at the gas station." -- Bill Cosby
"A father is always making his baby into a little woman. And when she is a woman he turns her back again." -- Enid Bagnold
"A father is a guy who has snapshots in his wallet where his money used to be." – Unknown
"My father always told me, 'Find a job you love and you'll never have to work a day in your life.' " -- Jim Fox
"A father is a banker provided by nature." -- French Proverb
"My father said, 'Politics asks the question: Is it expedient? Vanity asks: Is it popular? But conscience asks: Is it right?'" -- Dexter Scott King
"When I was a kid, I said to my father one afternoon, 'Daddy, will you take me to the zoo?' He answered, 'If the zoo wants you, let them come and get you.'" -- Jerry Lewis
"Small boy's definition of Father's Day: It's just like Mother's Day only you don't spend so much." – Unknown
"By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he's wrong." -- Charles Wadsworth

Free Up Your Fridge!

Being prepared is better than a life time of hassle.  Ten dollars worth of supplies and your refrigerator will be protected against spills and grime for a lifetime.  Take these easy tips and make your refrigerator cleaner and more organized.  Start cleaning and organizing now so you can fit all your fruits and vegetables in your fridge for your summer picnics:

"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, right? So $10 of prevention should save you forever. This inexpensive solution to spills and grime inside your hardest-to-clean kitchen appliance — the refrigerator — is guaranteed to save you from a lifetime of scrubbing. 
Not only is cleaning refrigerator shelves on your hands and knees a pain, but it's a money-waster and unsafe, too. Cleaning your fridge with the door open can waste tons of energy and puts the food safety of your fridge contents at risk.

To avoid it — forever — just take a crisp Hamilton down to the grocery store and grab a roll of super-sticky press and seal plastic wrap, like The Virtous Wife recently did on her blog:

Press and seal wrap is different from most regular cling wrap because it's super-sticky on one side (Glad makes one variety, but you might be able to find a generic version at your local store). This makes it great for sticking down to refrigerator shleves like you would with a drawer liner in your dresser.

So the next time you find a spill or leak in your fridge, just clear the shelf and lift off the layer of plastic wrap. Voila! Clean fridge all over again in an instant. Just remember to re-stick another layer of press and seal wrap before you put everything back in its place."
