Great Ideas For The Summer

 

ALL ABOUT THE KIDDOS

With the summer months coming up I thought it might be a good idea to have some Great Ideas for the younger family members.

END OF SCHOOL YEAR

At the end of the school year there are parties and lots of fun activities. Some parents like to give the teacher a thank you gift for being such a good teacher to their children.

We all know that teachers get their share of vases, coffee mugs, and picture frames. 

There is no way they can ever find room or use all of these items they get.  

I think it is nice to give them something they can use up, and enjoy.

END OF THE SCHOOL

It can’t all be fun and games, sometimes we have to be in a teaching mode ourselves.

TEACHING RESPONSIBILITY

MONEY MATTERS

When I ran across this website I knew I needed to share it with my readers……..

Responsibility is one thing we parent’s try to instill in our children as they grow up. 

This website is designed  so you can choose the appropriate age of your child, and then it tells you the points they can relate too at their age level. 

It also gives you activities that will help you get the point across to them.

SAVING MONEY THE FUN WAY!

Now that you have taught your children how important it is to save money how about giving them a great visual by getting a shadow box and putting a picture of what they are saving for………….

FUN AND GAMES

When my boys were younger there was nothing better than staying outside until the street lights came on. They still talk about that rule to this day. 

Just think how fun it would be to let them play in the dark in the front or backyard!……..

Go to the dollar store and purchase glow sticks to add to your bubbles and you will have glow in the dark bubbles. 

I prefer a bazillion bubbles, bubble liquid, it really makes great bubbles!

TREATS TO EAT

I love the relaxed, no routine time of the summer, and sometimes it is nice to have a fun dinner. My kiddos love pizza and sometimes we make our own……..

Add a little sauce and they will have fun rolling up their pizza to bake.

Make ice cubes with your favorite fruit juice, or 

Kool-aid, and put in a cup of Sprite. When the ice cubes melt the drink will change colors.

SIX Steps To A Tidy Home

 

Do you ever feel as if you need to be more than one person to keep your house nice and tidy?

I have found if I do just six things each morning it helps my home appear tidy, and fresh through out the week.

SIX STEPS TO A TIDY HOUSE

Each of these steps literally takes just a few minutes when done daily…………

1. Go around the house and pick up any items that

    don’t belong in the room they were left in, and put

    them away.

2. After doing morning dishes I clean my sink with

    cleanser, finish off the sink, and counters with a     

    spritz of a nice smelling cleaner. Dry off with a

    towel to make shiny.

3. Add a fresh dish rag, and dish towel every day.

        Make sure to  put the wet towel, and cloth on the

    side of the laundry basket to dry.

   

4. Clean out bathroom sink, and counter tops with

   some type of disinfectant cleaner. Dry sink, and

   faucet to make shiny.

(A little trick is to use a spritz of window cleaner  to make it look sparkling clean. While you are at it, do the mirror too!)

5. Check to see that you have  extra toilet paper

    under the sink, and add accordingly.

6. When making my bed I spray my linens with linen
    spray.

(See Side Notes On Today's Post On My Side Bar)

On some days I just pull the sheets back so the bed will air.

I do these six things every day! It really, and truly helps make my house look tidy.

Do you have anything I could add to my list that you do in your own home?

Summer Lips

I am convinced that lip gloss or a perfect color of lipstick would solve all the world’s problems!!

 Of course I am joking, but this statement is to relay just how much I adore a good lip gloss, and lipstick!!



Think about it…….. 

• There are thousands of colors and types

• They are not that expensive

• They make you look and feel better

• You can find them at just about any store you will be shopping at.

• They give you the opportunity to explore a new side of yourself without a huge investment.

What's not to love about

a lip gloss or lipstick?!!

 

With the summer months coming up I wanted a new, more uplifting color so I just made a new purchase from bare minerals.
