Need something to do that's different while your kids are home? How about a kind of science experiment? Homemade Silly Putty! I say a science experiment because I had to make this with my son for something special in his STEM class and it takes a few times before you actually get silly putty lol What you need: 1t Borax 4oz Bottle of (washable) Classic Glitter Glue Water, equivalent to the amount of glue you are using Instructions: Mix together a 1 to 1 mixture of glue and water. Stir the glue and water together until completely mixed. Dissolve 1t of borax into 4oz of warm water. Pour borax mixture into the water and glue mixture and stir. Keep stirring, after a few seconds the mixture should “gel” up. You now have silly putty! If you find it becoming stiff, put it in the microwave and heat it up for 5-15 seconds. Store in a zip-loc bag.

Dear Diary, All I can say is WOW! I can't compound all the words right now, so as time goes on I will give more of the story. As of right now I was adopted, awesome parents, great childhood! Always wanted to know my medical background, I have kids I really wanted to know if any dangerous things out there run in my family? It was cool to find out my lineage from 23 and me a few years ago. When I first got back my results I was kind of scared wondering if there would be any biological relatives on there. There was but 3 rd and higher up cousins. Until 3/20/2020....then there was more, a whole lot more.... so much to take in, so much to think about and try to process!

We all know that walking is good for you, sometimes you can't get to a gym, the weather may be bad BUT you can still get your walking done in your home! First set your step goal for the day. Get your steps in whenever you can, take a 10 minute walk up and down your stairs, walk in place for a while, pace a hallway or do a 30 minute walking video in front of your TV. Once you have your goal in place make sure you are taking the steps to try to achieve them, I like to try and go over my goal if possible. If you don't have a fitness tracker most of your phones have walking apps on them. You can also add bodyweight exercises while you are walking in place, alternate some lunges, squats, butt kickers or sidekicks. So for example walk in place for 3 minutes and do a set of the bodyweight exercises of 10-15. The main goal is to get in as many steps as you can and getting your heart rate up as you do it so it counts as an actual cardio workout.

You can order these diffusers in a bulk bag on eBay for hardly anything. You can make so many different types of diffusers, they are essentially like the Vick's ones you buy at the store when you are sick. 2 of the scents for anxiety is Lemon & Lavender, so I take the Cotton stick and place it on top of a paper towel. I then add 10 drops of lavender and roll it around. Then I use about 15 drops of the lemon and roll it around again. Put your nasal diffuser together and you can use it whenever you need it!

WOW! I look at that picture and I can't believe that was me! You never really realize how big you are/were until you look at a picture like that. I changed my life and for the better! I dropped down to 138lbs, over a few years I have gained 30 of it back! I saw that picture yesterday and it gave me that drive to want to get this extra weight back off! I wanna lose that 30lbs and get fit! I know I will never lose this extra skin and I will never feel “skinny” in my own body but at least I will be healthy! This is another reason why I am doing the weight loss challenge on the FB group, I have found most people work better together, so I am hopeful that we all challenge each other to become the person we want to be!

This is great for breakfast or for an after workout meal! Ingredients: 1/2c almond milk 1/2c greek yogurt 1 scoop vanilla protein powder 3*5 frozen strawberries Instructions: Place all ingredients in the blender, if it is not thick enough for you try adding a few ice cubes and mixing again. I will also from time to time add a teaspoon of honey or ¼ cup oatmeal. You don't have to do the last two options.

This is so easy to make and feels great on your lips! I especially like to wear it at night too. Now there is no big science to this recipe. What you will need is some jello shot containers which you can get on eBay and Amazon. Next you will need coconut oil, jojoba oil and peppermint essential oils. Since there is no magic amount of coconut oil to use (and this stuff does not go bad for a long time) start off with 1/4c or 1/2c of coconut oil. You want to mix it in a mixer until it starts looking like icing. Once it has that consistency add 1T of jojoba oil and 5 drops of peppermint essential oil. Mix everything together and then put into your cups.

I love to clean with vinegar, I can't stand the smell of bleach, I feel like its burning my lungs. I use vinegar in the kitchen, the bathroom and so much more. Vinegar can tackle salmonella, e. coli and other bacterias. Its acidity is what makes it a good cleaner, it can counteract icky buildups like soap scum, brines left by hard water and even glue left behind by stickers. Today I am going to teach you how to mop with vinegar. In addition to the vinegar you will need:  Castile Soap (which is made by hemp) Anywho, grab your bucket mix 1c of vinegar & 1/4c of the castile soap with hot water, you can add about 10 drops of essential oil to mask the vinegar, just watch what scent you use because some can be harmful to your pets.

I worked on it all day long to find the best deal on anything you can think of and I really enjoyed doing it but it started to consume me and I didn't really have time for anything else so I stopped.
