10 Things You Must Do In August

1) Sign up to receive our weekly e-letter. There’s a button on the top right-hand corner of the home page, click there and it will take you to the sign up page. Every week we’ll mail you valuable discounts, and limited-time specials right to your e-mail box. We promise we won’t share your e-mail address or personal info with anyone else.

2) Take advantage of back-to-school sales on electronics. I just bought my son a nifty little netbook for about $200. I remember when you couldn’t buy any computer for less than $3000!

3) After you buy your kids that new computer, call At Your Service at 314-994-1382, or email us to pick up your old computer, erase your hard drive, and recycle the whole thing in an environmentally safe manner.

4) Celebrate Be An Angel Day August 23rd. We’re taking 10% of any service booked that day and donating it to The Training Center for Service. The Training Center is staffed by volunteer angels who donate their time to tutor inner-city kids in math, reading, and computer skills. It’s an awesome organization that’s making a big difference in some special kids’ lives. Call now (314-994-1382) or email your request.

5) Plan a final summer 2010 fling for the whole family. We have a great list of one-tank trips perfect for a weekend getaway. Send us an email and we’ll send you the list that will send you packing. (We’ll even send you a packing list!)

6) Now that the kids are back in school, make an effort to get into a nightly routine to make your hectic mornings run smoother. Take 5 minutes to straighten up your living area, plan tomorrow’s breakfast, check your calendar, have the kids load up their backpacks, and get their school clothes out before they go to bed. If you don’t have kids at home, now’s a great time of year to reorganize your desk, sharpen your pencils, and declutter the paperwork that’s piled up.

7) Flip the mattresses! Flipping your mattress will make it wear evenly and should be done in the spring and the fall. Here’s how: Flip the mattress so that the top is now on the bottom, and turn it so that the foot of the mattress is now at the head. You’ll need a helper for any mattress bigger than a twin size bed. If you don’t feel like doing it yourself, call us. We’re expert mattress flippers. Check out this You Tube video for expert instruction!

8.) If you have a very important senior citizen in your life—a parent, grandparent, neighbor—why not set up a regular delivery of a hot meal or weekly grocery delivery? At Your Service gives a 10% discount to all seniors 65+ on all a la carte services. If you don’t see something you need on this list just call 314-994-1382 and we’ll make it happen. Our special packages make our senior services even more affordable.

9) Celebrate National Potato Day August 19th, with this taste-tested tater recipe .

10) Give yourself the gift of time! Take an hour or two of and let us tackle a few things on your to-do list. You deserve it! Call us at 314-994-1382, we’re At Your Service!
