Recycled Bottle Bowling Fun for the Family

This Earth month, Recycling is one of the best activities to do with your kids. Using recycled materials saves money and saves the planet too! You can make amazing crafts with things that people normally throw out like plastic bottles.

With just a little time and some supplies, you’ll be able to make a fun bowling game for your whole family using recycled plastic bottles.

What you need: 10 used plastic bottles, paint (you can use one just one color or 10 different colors) and glue.

How to do it:

1.) Remove cap from bottles and clean thoroughly.

2.) Squeeze a small amount of paint in the bottom of each water bottle. 1 oz will do. If your paint is thick you might want to add a bit of water but not too much or the paint won’t be able to cover the bottle properly.

3.) Put the caps back on all your bottles and (let your kids) shake each bottle briskly to spread the paint all over the bottle.

4.) Remove cap and pour out any excess paint. Keep the cap off and allow your paint bottles to dry. When dry, put a little bit of glue on the lid and put it back on top so that your kids won’t be able to open the bottles.

5.) Set up your recycled bowling pins, grab a ball and have fun!

Dads are doing more, but moms are more stressed, study finds

Dads are doing more, but moms are more stressed, study finds - LA Times

A study of 500 dual-earner families finds that fathers and mothers are spending roughly equal amounts of time doing paid and unpaid work, but mothers are spending nine more hours a week multitasking.

I get a lot of E-Mails from Mom's on their smart phones. Its nice to see that Men are doing their share of housework (equal time doing paid, and unpaid work). In our house Lillian and I share the tasks. Dog has somehow become my responsibility, even though I was not the one who picked him. The excuse I get is our dog likes me more. I think I am being suckered by my wife and daughter on the dog part...

Easter is definitely for little girls!

Do you remember the Easter celebrations when you were younger?
Your mother must have made you the best easter dress which you happily wore and got all sorts of complement from it. Now, it’s your time to make Easter special for your little girl.
But we all know that today’s different than yesterday; you might be too busy juggling work and household chores that you barely have time for yourself much more make a dress for your daughter. Luckily getting pretty easter dresses are easier nowadays since you can choose among the easter dresses collections in the comforts of your own home.
And the good part is, you don’t have to spend good amount of money for it.

Give your child the best easter memories and let her wear the prettiest dress ever!

Easter is coming!

So soon, yes.

Besides going to church, why not have some easter fun at home with your family and friends?

You and your sibling's or friends' families can all go to church together. Maybe someone can host a simple breakfast after church? The kids can play some easter games after, or color pictures or watch a fun video. The adults can wind down with coffee and tea. It will be a nice together-time for a Sunday morning.

If you haven't done that before, it will be fun to try it now. Easter is about new beginnings, after all. It could be a start of a regular get-together time that your kids will fondly remember later on.

For those who have been real busy and have not yet taken the time to get their little girl a special easter dress, we have pretty dresses in pink, lilac and pretty light green. There are more dresses in our site, so please see the selection of pastel dresses.

There are only a few days left before easter, so maybe now is the good time for that last minute order. We still have shipping time to consider :-).
