Summer Fun with the Kids

Here's so ideas of free or cheap things to do this summer with your little ones

• Dive-in's (if there's still any open in your area)
• Go bowling (check out kidsbowlfree.com if you sign up your kids get two free games a day, I'm sure  it don't come with shoe rental lol )
• Go somewhere and feed the ducks
• Lay in the grass and look at the clouds
• Movie night at home with popcorn
• Color the sidewalk with chalk
• Make a fair garden
• Read a book under a tree
• Bon fire (also great cause mom don't have to make dinner)
• Library (look into your local library. Most of them have some great summer programs at low or no cost)
• Picnic in yard
• Go to a park
• Blow bubbles
• Water fight
• Music in the park (look into your park service in your area but most the time they have music or plays in the park, at little to no cost. Remember to pack some snacks)
•  Go out to eat (lots of places has kids eat free)
• Go hiking

If you have anymore ideas please share. Remember guys pack snacks, most the time I spend more on food and drinks then anything else

DIY pizza lunchables

My kids love pizza, and even more when they get to take them to school for lunch. I'm not crazy about all the "stuff" they put into food anymore, so I try to find ways to make them myself, oh and by the way most the time it's cheaper. So this is how I make pizza lunchables mom style

I start with a simple thin crust pizza recipe

3/4 cups warm water (you should be able to put your fingers in it without a problem)
1 teaspoon active-dry yeast
2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoon salt


1. Mix your yeast into your bowl of water and set it to the side.

2. Preheat oven as high as it will go. Mine is 550

3. Mix your flour and salt together in a bowl, then add your yeast water mix. Mix together then need until you have most the flour mixed in.

5.You don't have to let it raise. I use a rolling pin to roll it out as thin as I can get it, maybe 1/8 a inch or so.

6. Cut into a size that will fit in a sandwich bag. I use a cookie sheet or a pizza pan to cook them on. I place a thin layer or flour before and place in over.

7. Rub some oil on top and use a fork to make some holes, then place in oven

8. Keep an eye on them because they will be done quick. In my oven it's 5-7 minutes.

When lunch times comes around, send the little ones with some cheese, pizza sauce, and pepperoni if you want.

I made a double batch and it'll make about 10 meals for my kids. I keep some out for fresh and flash froze (place on a cookie sheet in a single layer, without touching) and put in the freezer for an hour or so. Once it's froze some you can place in a large bag for freezing. Flash freezing makes it where you can pull one out at a time, not just have a big frozen lump.

Fully loaded crazy good nachos

Last night dinner time comes around as always, and I never failing question I have what's for dinner? I got some pre cooked chicken out of the freezer, now what to do with it?
Nachos? Yummy! So what I did was I cook my chicken up with some taco seasoning, cook some rice, and got a can of beans out. What's my chicken was cooking my rice was done, I put some tortilla chips on a cookie sheet, added some cheese to help everything stick, now the fun part adding all the toppings. I just put everything on top the chicken in the rice and a beans, and added some more cheese to top. I threw it in the oven at 350 4 maybe 5 minutes, just until  tell cheese melts is really what you're going after.

I should've taken a picture before we had dinner but this is what was left over. The whole point is to have fun with it you can add whatever you want. I can eat a buffalo chicken nachos and that's really yummy.
I hope you enjoy and have fun cooking.

Easy teacher gift

Ok so here's what I used:
Small jar from dollar tress
Smarties
And a sharper
Ribbon

I maybe small note that when on top that said Thanks for making us smarties and sharpies
I already have the ribbon , but all together this won't cost more than 5 hours, and the teachers seemed to really love it

How to make your own Laundry soap

What do you need you ask
2/3 cup bar soap (you'll want this grated)
1/2 cup washing soda ( not baking soda lol I've done it)
1/2 cup borax
A large bucket

Put a pot on the stove with 6 cups water and your soap, heat up until all the soap has melted. Set your heat to about medium, I never do and it seems like it's boiled over and I got to clean my stove at the same time. This step takes the longest, maybe 10 minutes but I've never timed it.

Once your soap is melted add the washing soda and borax, keep on heat until it has dissolved.

Move soap mixture to bucket, carefully it's like lava, and add 4 cups hot water ( as hot as your tap water will go. Give this all a good stir, then add 1 gallon and 6 cups (16 cups) hot water.

Let it sit and cool for at least one hour, stirring occasionally. Then just put it into some form a storage container,  I use rinsed out 2 liter bottles and that seems to work pretty well. I just kept one of my old Laundry detergent bottles that I fill up. Use 1/2 cup per load, same as my Landry detergent bottle lid.

Yes it takes some time, but it's pretty cheap to make, and good for sensitive skin. It makes me 3 to 4 2 liter bottles worth of soap, so with my family and how much laundry we have only really have to make it once maybe twice a month.

You make me sparkle

Don't think this calls for a very long post. Buy some nail polish, make a take that says you make me sparkle or something like that, add note to nail polish, and done.
