Ahhhh... It's that time of year...GROSS

School's back in session and we received the inevitable letter... Lice. I can already feel my head itch!!! Those disgusting little parasites that breed and live in human hair. SO GROSS. I will die if my children get those gross critters.

So I've read the Tea Tree oil is effective in thwarting off those little buggers. Here's an article:

Tea Tree Oil for Lice?

Anyways, I'm using it as a deterrent. I've in the past put it in their shampoo. But tonight I forgot and blow dried Olivia's hair. Too late for the shampoo, so I decided to dilute it into a spray bottle. I don't want straight oil on my daughters hair but I don't want to send her defenseless. So... I diluted it with water. Yes- oil and water. Not sure how it would work obviously they separate. But, I was able to figure a quick solution. 

Grab them here:

Spray bottles- Target

I vigorously shook the spray bottle with a 4:1 water: oil mixture. Sprayed immediately on her hair, as I would hairspray. It smelled of Tea Tree oil which works for me! 

I'm not a scientist, just a mom desperate to not EVER have lice. This is my personal way to put my mind at peace. If you're like me, give it try- can't hurt.

I just got my bottle at the local Walmart by the vitamins. 

Good luck!

DIY gifts for GiRlS wEeKeNd!

Looking for a way to add some fun to your Girl's Weekend? Check out what I made for my girls, we had a BLAST!

 SO we decided we needed a weekend away from kids, husbands, pets, etc. A girl's weekend was the way to go! So we all chose food to bring (which we ended up withe waaaaay to much food). Who want to bring to salads- blahhhhh. Two salad, freezy alcoholic beverage and cookies- YES! two salads- NO! Anyways, take a look at what I did! Hope you enjoy!

Treasured Memories! 

Here I took a dollar store notebook, embellished with stickers and bought mini pens. One for each girl! WE wrote down memories from the weekend in there. Everyone had reign over the book, therefore it's filled with a TON of memories!

Next up each girl got their own goody bag! Which included a- whatttt- SELFIE STICK! Dorks, I know. But we had fun with them! I picked them up a Amazon for $5 each. You can get them at Five Below if you have those near you! Also, a sleeping mask, flat plastic princess flask, Chap-stick, Kleenex, nail file, fun cocktail umbrella and w wine glass charm each with their own color high heel! 

And all but the Wine Charms from Dollar Tree!

I folded up a brown bag and hot glued the sides, finished it off witha black sparkly ribbon and a Girls Weekend tag!

All 6 of the ready to go!

Oh Shit Kit! For the next mornings! All inside a zip-loc bag with a tag at the top. 

Included:

Sunglasses, Visine, tums, body spray and mints!!

HOpe you enjoy your Girl's Weekend! We did!

Somewhere in the world tonight- song

SO, quick post today- again. I went to BodyCombat tonight, which, by the way, I LOVE! Our cool down song was this song Somewhere in the World Tonight by Altiyan Childs. And I feel in love. "Somewhere in the world tonight, Somewhere in the world tonight there is no indifference, everyone has a voice... I believe there is a place where rich and poor can walk side by side..." The lyrics just got me. It is a beautiful song. Please take a minute and check it out. I love it. AMAZING!!! Let me know what you think!

Somewhere in the world tonight

No Fire Needed S'Mores

Hey guys! So the other day I was introduced to S'mores- fire not needed. Which is great because I am kinda a sucky S'mores maker! I burn the mellow, set it on fire or it is raw. Ugh! A friend at work brought stuff for S'mores and set it out in the lounge. I was confused, no idea what she wanted us to do. I wasn't going to eat an uncooked S'more...bllllaahhhhh... I called her and asked if she was losing her marbles! She informed me to heat that bad boy for 30ish (more/less depending on the microwave) seconds in the microwave!

I tried it and it was sooo good, chocolate ran everywhere. So yummy! 

I decided this would be a fun event for the kiddos! So you will see how we rocked it out with No Fire Needed S'mores!

Start with...

Put a marshmellow on each cracker

See... in micro for 30ish seconds.

BOOM! Blown up mellows!

Add some delish chocolate!

Smuuuush!

Yummmm!!!

Are you sure this is a legit S'Mores?

Look at that ooey, gooey goodness!

Yeeeeeessssss, PLEASE!

It was so good and so easy for the kiddos!
