Quick Easy Bookmarks

If you love to read then you have probably lost a bookmark. My son LOVES to read but is the WORST about losing his place. I saw this fast and easy bookmark and thought what a great idea! Best part is they will stay in place better then a regular bookmark would. All you need is 4-6 inches of ribbon and a paper clip! Yep that is all it takes and really you can mix and match to make it your own and more beautiful. Since I made this for  my son obviously beautiful wasn't what I was going for.lol
Take ends and line them up together

Feed ends through end with one edge

Put ends through loop and pull
Paper clip to your page  :O)

Great idea! My son loves to steal my bookmarks, so I'm constantly having to remember the page number I was on, haha! Having a few of these made up and handy is a smart plan!

What a cleverly simple bookmark. This will be a great alternative to using whatever receipt or paper I find ;)

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 :)
