Ghostly decorations

 

 

 

Materials

• Clean plastic gallon milk jugs
• Black permanent marker

• Craft knife
• String of 50 clear low-wattage holiday lights (these can be easily bought for $1 at your local dollar tree)

 

 

Instructions

1. Draw ghost eyes and mouths on the jugs. Tip: Leave the caps on while you do this, so the jugs don't dent.
   
   
2. PARENTS: Use the craft knife to cut a half-dollar-size hole in the back of each jug.
   
   
3. Arrange the ghosts near each other and string the lights between them, stuffing several bulbs into each of the jugs. Or you could use one string of lights per jug. Your call.

Fitness is always better done with friends

A wonderful site that is easy and friendly is www.myfitnesspal.com

It is 100% free. You don't buy anything to use it. You tract the food you eat and exercise you do. It does all the math for you. And you have forums for questions and meeting others. I absolutely love the site. I lost 15lbs just by watching my food. It was easy and I didn't really change much of anything except watching my portion sizes. Yes it was tough to start because I was over eating by so much but before the week was over I was full on normal sizes. So it was much easier. It is a lifestyle change not a quick fix diet. Add me as a friend and we can help each other on the journey to a new us :)

Sink your teeth into these...teeth?

APPLE BITES

This is a really easy thing to do and fun. 

Ingredients include:
Apples (Any assortment will work)

Almond Slivers.

How to put it together:

Cut your apple into four equal parts and cut the core of the apple out.

Cut a wedge from the skin side of each quarter but don't cut all the way through.

Then press slivered almonds in place for teeth. Have fun creating different mouth designs.

Introductions are always a must have...

This blog will be done for pure enjoyment, education, and to meet lots of fun friends. I am no professional on any subject I talk about (Because medical coding isn't a very interesting subject). However, each day will be given a theme and here is my breakdown:

Sunday: Randomized reviews, history facts, local or world news, crazy fashion, interior design, etc. I think you get the picture

Monday- I will be writing a story as to where each Monday you get a little bit more on the story. So be sure to come back and read each week.

Tuesday: Dear Gracie... I will answer questions or comments left to me.

Wednesday: Cooking, I love to cook so I will be putting up different ideas and recipes

Thursday: Sports are great. I will spend Thursdays analysising my ideas for the weekend sports. Rather it is baseball, hockey, football (college and nfl), basketball, nascar etc. Whatever sports are going on over the weekend I will let you know my thoughts.

Friday: Fitness is always good so some tips, tricks and ideas to help exercise and get moving will come out.

Saturday: Craft Corner because another passion I have is making things. I will find fun and easy crafts to put up each week. I will also try to have a kiddie craft at the end of each project that children would enjoy to do.
