Tips for Making Easy Cheeseburger Soup

Here are a few tips to help you make the best cheeseburger soup possible:

Start with cooked ground beef. This will save you time since you won’t have to cook the beef before adding it to the soup.
If you want a thinner soup, add more broth. For a thicker soup, add less broth.
Taste the soup as you go and adjust the seasonings as needed. This is the best way to ensure that your soup tastes just the way you want it.
Serve with a side of crusty bread for dipping.

November 29, 2022 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Facebook, Instagram, Pet, Pinterest, Printable, Recipe, Social Media

This printable with pet sitter instructions will help everything run smoothly and give you the peace of mind you want while you’re out of town!

Why You Need Pet Instructions

There are a few reasons you’ll want to leave pet instructions for your sitter. Knowing what instructions to leave for the pet sitter is important. This includes things like feeding, walking, and medication schedules.

Daily Routine

One is so that your pet can continue their daily routine as much as possible while you’re away. This will help minimize any anxiety or stress they may feel from your absence. This will medicine, food, and walks.

To Help Your Pet

Another reason is so that you can be sure that your pet is being taken care of exactly the way you want them to be. Be specific about your fur baby’s likes, ticks, allergies, bad habits and more.

You Can Worry Less

By providing specific instructions, you can relax knowing that your pet is in good hands and being well taken care of. This gives you a time to have your voice written down as well as important information like veterinarian’s information, what to do in the unlikely event of illness, and details about your pet behavior. Get your thoughts across with a self-explanatory pet sitter printable. Add anything missing on a separate page or with a post it note.

How much is a pet sitter?

Before you hire a pet sitter, it’s important to know what’s a head. Many budget for travel but forget that sometimes the cost of the entire trip is at home – with your pet and pet sitter.

Pet sitter rates will vary greatly depending on your pets needs, the age/skillset of the animal sitter, the the frequency of visits to the home. The cost of a pet sitter can be as low as $0 to $100 for a day/night. That’s a huge discrepancies especially when you are gone for more than many days. A few questions to ask a homeowner…

Can you you trade services with a friend?
Are you comfortable hiring a local teenager?
Do you need a qualified independent contractor to stay the night or entire duration of your trip?

Consider these guidelines a price estimate when budgeting for a pet sitter. They are ordered from least expensive to most expensive.

Neighbor or Friend

If you are able to trade pet sitting services with a neighbor or friend? If you can trade pet sitting services, this might benefit bot you and a friend. In this case, you might get away with getting a pet sitter for free. Consider bringing back a nice gift from your travels or paying for house keeping services after you pick up your pet from their home.

Teenager

Ask the teenage kids of neighbors. You can often hire a teenager for minimum wage. There is no need for transportation and they can easily access your house multiple times a day. Teens are always looking for extra income and you also know their parent is available in a “worst-case scenario” type situation. If you don’t know the teens in your neighborhood, try a community forum like Nextdoor.com.

College Student

Trusted college kids are excellent for house sitting and pet sitting. To get out of the dorm for the weekend might be a weekend reprieve and not only are they helping with the pet, they can also look over the house. Plus they often come with a mode of transportation.

Veterinary Office

A vet office is a safe place to leave your pet. In addition to having a warm bed and roof over their head, you can feel comfortable knowing that your pet also has a pet doctor on hand in the event of any personal emergency or mishap. While this is a very safe route for pet sitting, your cat/dog will not have the comfort of their own home and exercise will be minimal as they will be in a vet’s office kennel/cage.

Pet Caregivers & Services

The most expensive route will be hiring a pet sitter service. In this scenario a qualified person often comes with a background check, screenings so home owners can feel comfortable with a stranger in your home. There often is a pet sitting contract so you know your rights when hiring a pet sitter or dog walker. You can find such services by searching pet sitting services near me or visit Care.com for help in your local area.

What do you put on pet sitting instructions?

In order to make it easy, have have included everything you need to put on Pet Instructions.

When writing your pet sitter instructions checklist be sure to include the following:

Your pet’s name, age, and breed
A photo of your pet
Your contact information
An emergency contact
Your pet’s vet information
Feeding instructions and schedules
Walking and exercise routines
Playtime and toys
Bathroom routines
Any special needs or medical conditions
Medication schedules and instructions

These pet sitter instructions will help make sure that your pet is happy and healthy while you’re away! This printable is like you’re making your own pet sitter instructions booklet.

What are some fun water games?

Who doesn’t love a water balloon fight? Break out the inflatables and fill up those kiddie pools, because it’s time to get wet and wild! Let’s get started with the six classic games with water. Check out our favorite outdoor water games for a cooling summertime activity.

Water Balloon Toss

Water balloon games are a must. This classic game is a great way to beat the heat and have some fun with friends. All you need is a group of people and a bunch of water balloons. Form two lines facing each other, and give the first person in each line a balloon.

On the count of three, they’ll toss the balloon to the person across from them. If the balloon pops or someone drops their water bombs, they’re out! Keep going until there’s only one person left in each line, and then the two winners will face off against each other. Now, without a doubt, this is considered fun water games at home!

Sprinkler Races

This is a great game for young kids who love to run around and get wet. The hose is a great resource. Set up a sprinkler in your yard or park, and then have the kids line up at one end. On your go, they’ll race to the other end and back again. The first player to cross the finish line is the winner! You can even make this a team relay race full of challenges and obstacles.

Water Balloon Piñata

Pop! This game is a fun twist on the classic piñata. Instead of candy, fill up a water balloon piñata with water and tie it to a tree branch or other high surface like a clothesline. Then, have the kids take turns hitting it with a stick or plastic bat until it bursts open and drenches them with water! This game is must in the great outdoor water games for families list! It’s perfect for a very hot day.

Sponge Relay Races

Split everyone into teams and line them up at the start line. At the other end of the course, place a bucket filled with water. The first person in each team will dip their sponge into the bucket, run to the other end and wring it out over the next person’s head, then pass the sponge off. In this water relay, the team that finishes first is the winner!

You can twist this game up. Make it a challenge by mixing it up with some bubbles. Use Dawn, bubble bath or Johnson no-tear baby shampoo. Instead of pouring over the next player’s head, be the first team to move the most water from one bucket to the next with a sponge toss as the mode of transportation.

Squirt Gun Tag

This game is a blast for kids of all ages. One person is “it” and has to chase down the other players and tag them with their squirt gun. Once someone is tagged, they’re out. The last person standing is the winner! If you are looking for something with younger kids, this water play is a toddler approved game.

Water Obstacle Course

Sprinklers, kiddie pools, and slip and slides can bring together one amazing obstacle course with water. Gather all the water supplies you have include buckets, spray bottles, cups, t-shirts, and spray bottles. Map out your backyard as you navigate a path from one water activity to the next. Introduce as much water as you want with running sprinklers, hoses, water guns and more. You can time this DIY water course or just make it a fun challenge to master.
