If you are starting to feel like you are running out of ideas of things to do, we decided to list some things we have either checked out already- or they are still on our list for when we get bored.
Hope you enjoy them.
We saw this on a morning news channel and thought it sounded interesting. You know those strips you buy in the drug store to remove blackheads from your nose and face? The ones that cost over $7.00 a box? Well get this- buy a $2.00 bottle of Elmers Glue (the white kind) put an even layer over the area and let it harden. Peel it off and believe it- the little things peel right off with it! Yup! We think it works even better than the other kind. We even read somewhere you can use the stuff watered down for hair gel. (we personally did not try that one) Hey- if your sportin' a mohawk don't dilute!:-)
Here is something that we have not done yet, but it is on the list....
Clean out that closet!
If your closet is not organized how are you going to know what you have for back to school?
We found stuff stuffed in the back of our closet that we forgot we had searching for something last week. Try it all on and if it doesn't fit, either donate it or maybe have a yard sale. Most of the time you can mix and match all kinds of things with just a few new things for back to school
to get a new fresh look! You really do not need a lot of money to get a look that is comfortable for you. Have your own style!
Need some cash to buy some new things for school or the latest Jonas Brothers CD? Enroll in your local Red Cross babysitting course program. We did it and it was fun! Check out http://www.redcross.org/
It is an awesome way to learn everything you need to know to feel confident about being in charge of other peoples children. CPR and other techniques that will help you to know what to do in case of emergencies are taught. Right down to changing diapers you will learn it all! If you are starting out, a mom will be much more likely to hire you if you have taken this course. So if you enjoy kids- why not make some money doing it? Nothing better than being able to buy what you want with your own money.
Own tents? Put them up in the back yard and sleep outside! Build a campfire with supervision, and cook Smores. Yummy! Invite all your friends, have them bring flashlights, and enjoy the outdoors. You don't have to go far to do that, just outside your door.
It just takes some thinking to come up with fun ways to fill your time. Sometimes simple is better. Don't get us wrong we love big fancy vacations, or spa treatments, or new clothes, just as much as everyone. But sometimes a tent, and some Elmers Glue is all you need!
Have a great week everyone- Keep it real- and do something! H and C
