Homemade SprinklerFrom our friends Frugally Sustainable:
Is it hot where you are today? If the heat is getting to you and your little ones, and you have a backyard to play in, no matter how small, this would be a fun way to cool off!
Take a 2 liter soda bottle, poke holes in it. Attach to a garden hose via a male to male adapter that cost less than $5.00 at Lowes.
Toss over a tree branch and let hang.
You can adjust how the water sprinkles by adjusting the water flow.
When the bottle stops working well, just switch it out with another bottle, no additional cost!

DIY monster spray
When my son was a little boy and afraid of monsters, I used to take my magic pencil and draw a magic circle around him, with a chant about monsters staying away.
For him, that was enough.
This is a neat little idea though, just make up a bottle of
Monster Spray, print the label and spray around the room at night. Spray two sprays under the bed, one in the closet, or wherever your little one thinks a monster might be lurking! Read more...
