Homemade Apple Sauce!

As some of my readers know we have really been trying to improve our families health all round. Well of course that means making more stuff by hand. I realized last night for some reason I had 27 apples in my fridge :OP and after talking with friends apple sauce seemed like a good plan. So this morning I set about peeling, coring and cutting 20 apples. Yep it is about as fun as it sounds.lol I put them in my crockpot and added about a cup of water, 2/3 cups of sugar(I'm going low sugar you may want more), and 2 good teaspoons of cinnamon. It is still cooking but my house smells AMAZING! He is a before picture can't wait to show you the results.

So after hours of cooking and making me so hungry I finally got to taste this and Mmmm...I am so glad I didn't add all the extra sugar it usually calls for it was simply amazing the way it was.

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 :)
