Cookies make the world go round :O)

I must say I enjoy nothing more in life then a great cookie. As far back as I can remember my mother and I always made cookies together. Cookies of every kind from peanut butter, my all time favorite, to chocolate chip. It is a tradition I love to carry on with my children. From adding the ingredients to licking the beaters. Yep, I let my kids lick the beaters ;op, there is no greater joy as a child. So I thought I would share one of my favorite cookies with everyone. It is out of a 1979 magazine and is easy and wonderful.

BUTTER COOKIES!

1 Egg

2 1/2 cups flour

2 sticks of butter

1/2 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

coloring if you choose

This is by far the easiest cookie I have ever made. It is simple. Just dump everything in a bowl and mix well! I use a cookie press to make different shapes but you could simply drop the mixture on a pan as well. Bake at 350 for roughly 8 minutes. Cooking times will vary depending on the size and shape of your cookie. These cookies taste best the next day with a nice cold glass of milk. :O) ENJOY!

30 Day Beach Body Challenge- Day 3 #30dayfitness

Here we are at day 3, now unfortunately I am to sick to work out today but I wanted to make sure that I shared the information with you on how to do these exercises so that everyone could easily get their's done. I will catch up as I can, may even try to add extra to the days once I feel better. For today it is 50 burpees and 50 kick down crunches. If you don't know how to do these make sure to scroll down for directions! You will also see why with the flu these aren't doable.lol HOW TO DO A BURPEE!

Homemade Fly Traps

We all love summer but as the weather gets warmer the flies get worse and worse. We have a bush out front of our house that I swear just attracts every fly in town! I wanted to get rid of them but I didn't want to kill all the wonderful butterflies it also attracts. So I went about finding a new way to kill them all. I had some empty Tazo tea bottles I simply poked a pen sized whole in the top, added 1/2 cup of water, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of dish soap, and 1 tablespoon of syrup.Now I do find that these work better if you place them in the sun :O) If you want to use a bigger container simply multiply the ingredients. Make sure your hole is only about the size of a pen cap! Then they can't seem to get back out.lol

Putting On Girl Scout Badges With A Flat Iron

I love helping all my little daisies earn badges, but as a mom I hate putting them on. Lol I saw an idea on Pinterest a while back to use a flat iron so I thought I'd give it a try. It worked really well but I do have a couple suggestions. First make sure your badge is exactly where you want them. Unlike an iron this causes the glue to melt very fast! Second count I 3-4 and it is probably done! Lastly you will likely have to apply pressure to the end pinching it tight. Overall it worked very well and I will probably keep putting badges on this way :)
