Everyone can Be A Hero ;) Wholesale Costume Club Review

Super Girl got busted trying to fly ;)

It is hard to believe I am already talking about costumes! With holidays flying by one after another though Halloween will be here before we know it. Recently I was given the chance for a fun super hero costume review from Wholesale Costume Club.
I thought and thought who would get the most use out of being a superhero and instantly thought of my daughter. I figured when you have a little girl costumes aren't just for Halloween any more! Dress up is an every day part of life around here. Whether she is being a princess, ballerina or even a super hero she love costumes! What a better super hero to be then Super Girl of course :) She was so excited when she go this costume that she had to put it on as soon as she was finished with dinner. Flying all around at the speed of light she loved her new found powers that came with the costume. After about a week of use we needed to throw it in the washing machine. I was really please at how well it washed. Often I buy costumes and they do not hold up to being washed! For a one time costume that isn't a big deal but for something that my children are going to wear all the time it really does need to be able to hold up to the wear and tear. I really love this costume and its quality :) I love watching my daughter enjoy it even more!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

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 :)

Jello Hard Candy

Most hard candies call for corn syrup, but since I was out and I have 3 children home I decided to experiment and make something fun! Here is what you need:
2 Cups of Sugar
2 Cups of Water
1 Package Sugar Free Jello
A candy Thermometer

Making candy is a pretty tricky process and trust me I messed up a batch or two getting this to work right.lol Put the sugar and water into the pot and turn on medium whisking well till the sugar is dissolved. Stirring pretty regularly to help the sugar from burning. As the sugar begin to boil turn the heat up to high. Watch your thermometer when the candy reaches 230 pour in the jello continuing to mix. Pour this mixture immediately into a cake pan that is lined with parchment paper of you can rub a little veggie oil in it. The candy will continue to cook as it melts anything over 230 you will be left with a burnt candy that tastes like licorice.lol After you candy is cooled completely turn it out onto a cookie sheet and break apart :O) I like to dust mine …
