Sticky Sunday

Nothing seems to be more fun then spending my Sundays with my family. Today was no different, we woke up early ofter a very late night win for Texas Tech, made a great breakfast, went to the park, and did some fun crafts. I'm not sure if I am alone in this but when I was little I LOVED Popsicle sticks. I made EVERYTHING out of them! Well I was talking on the phone to my own mother and she was talking about a little box that I had made her nearly 20 years ago. Of course it was made with Popsicle sticks.lol So we went by the local Dollar Tree and they had a ton of packages of them. The little voice inside me screamed WOOHOO! I was so pleased to find out that my kids loved them just as much. Now I have my own handmade box to enjoy for the next 20 years.
These are such a great keepsake box. The kids can spend time after they dry to decorate these and make them personal. :O)

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 :)

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
