A Tuesday Time Out

Today started off pretty rough. My 9 year old came in telling me how good the egg rolls in the freezer were....yep the same ones that were going to be for dinner. Non-stop whining, 3 kids to the store for back to school supplies, my hair.....well lets not even get started on my hair lol,not to mention the usual fun things like laundry and dishes. I was just ready to crawl back into bed and wave my little white flag.
To try to help what little sanity i had left i decided to walk with them down to the park. As I sit here watching my kids play and praying that the day doesn't end in the ER a smile came to my face. I am truly blessed :) not all moms get this chance...the chance to never miss a single moment with them! Sometimes all we need is a second to remember how lucky we are to turn a horrible day into a perfect day.

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
