Chore Chart

I pinned this idea on Pinterest one day.  I went to look at the pin and the website is no longer there.  So I am unable to give credit where credit is due.  Sorry!! If you happen to stumble across this Thank You.

 

Take a cookie sheet and paint it or hodge podge a cute fabric onto it.  Now get vinyl stickers and put your kiddos name on top. 

Also using vinyl make a To Do: Column and a Done Column. Now get some magnets.

On your computer make a list of chores, print them out and glue onto the magnets.

Badda Bing Badda Boom your done!

Make your Own Mr. Clean Magic Eraser

Let's Make Some Magic!

Living with boys as we do, we know the messes they can make. We often marvel at the creative ways the guys in our lives make these messes. We also marvel at how in the world we will get some of these messes cleaned up! But often the miracle product Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and others like it have made cleaning some of the toughest messes (like magic marker on the computer keyboard) a breeze. It really does work like magic!

Make your own Scented Plugin

DIY Wallflowers Scented Plugin

i’m about to get hippie on you all. plugin air fresheners (and tons of other stuff) have something called  VOC in them. VOC stands for “volatile organic compounds” and they are highly toxic. they are chemicals with a low boiling point.

VOC cause all sorts of problems in your body: infertility (some of you may like that!), headaches, nervous system disorders, memory loss and cancer for both your pet and you…. lots of things. 

Make Your Own Lip Balm

I was on pinterest the other day and found this, so of course I had to try it.  It works awesome.

 

Do you have a bunch of near-empty lipsticks that you don't know what to do with? Don't throw them out! You can turn those favorite shades into tinted lip balms. Customize your color, flavor and scent, and even recycle old tins and tubs to give the balm a personal special touch. Just follow these four simple steps.

Cut down the engergy bill

STOP!!! DO NOT TURN UP THE HEATER!!!!! 

If you want to save money, put another blanket, or quilt on top of your beds.  Everyone will be warmer and your pocket book will be a little fatter.  The best time to save money is while you are sleeping.  Turn down the heater and save some money.

Clothing Swap

Here are a few tips for a fun day with your girl friends!

1) Organize a clothing swap.  You get rid of clothes and accessories you don't use or want anymore and you swap with your friends. Its a win win for everyone.  You clean out your closet and come home with new stuff for FREE.
