Run 4 Your Money

If you are like me you really want to get healthy and get in shape but you really dread the actual process. Well I stumbled upon this on Pinterest the other day and liked it so much I thought I would start it for myself. I took an old Gatorade container since it is what I had handy. what you do is reward yourself for working out. So every day I work out I give myself a quarter in my jar :O) when I reach my goal weight I will take that money and buy  myself something that I want! Reaching your goal weight now isn't just good for you but rewarding in many other ways.

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
