Putting more meaning into Christmas with Mini™ Missions

This year our family wanted to put more significant meaning into our holidays.  We were looking for new traditions to bring us closer together as a family and to also help others at the same time.  When I heard about how Scholastic and Kellogg’s® teamed up I knew this was a perfect way for our family to be motivated to not only serve others but also help us feel the true meaning of Christmas.
The program we registered for is called Every Day is a Big Day.  As your family completes each Mini Mission™  you can earn free Scholastic books for your and family and a chance to win prizes for your school and community.
You can visit http://minimissions.scholastic.com to register your family for the Every Day is a Big Day program.
As you complete each  Mini™ Mission your family earns 2 free Scholastic Books.
Also as each mission is completed you are entered into a sweepstakes where 131 prizes will be awarded to schools and communities each month.
You can also download free monthly stories chronicling  Mini's™  adventures against the evil Skipper. (these are so cute our family LOVED them)
December's theme is Give and Get Back.The objective is to encourage families to do something good for others.  Work together to think of ways to help others and put your ideas into action.  Complete 3 projects that give back to your community or others in need.  No action can be too small. 

Our family chose to do a few services projects this month.
We are working on some fleece blankets for a few local charities and we also made some "Survival Bags" that we keep in our cars to hand out to people we see on the streets who need help.  These bags contain lots of items like toothpaste and tooth brushes, soap, deodorant, snacks, water, immunity boosts for the cold season and other necessities.  We also donated to a giving tree from our church which gives to families in our own neighborhood in need. 









 It is not too late to get started NOW.  
Register here http://minimissions.scholastic.com and there is also a bonus entry this month.

Bonus offer ends on December 31st.

 Seriously who doesn't like FREE stuff especially at Christmas time?  I am thinking some new books would make some really great gifts or better yet something to donate to help give back.

Join us as we try to make this Decmeber one to remember.

How to get Urine/Sweat stains out of your Mattress

If you have kids you have pee stains I know it.  If you don't lucky you or you are a liar and in denial.  I have pee stains on more than one mattress.  I also have sweat stains on pillows because well I sweat a.lot .  It's a gift I know. I digress. Anyway I have tried many different ways to get urine/pee out of mattresses and I have been very unsuccessful so I did a google search and what do you know?  Another mom had pee stains too.  So I borrowed her recipe and it totally worked so I am sharing it with you. All you need are these few house-hold ingredients and a spray bottle.  I bought a really expensive one (NOT) I used one I had for my kids hair.  It worked great. You will need: 3 Tablespoons Baking Soda 8 ounces Hydrogen peroxide 1 drop dish soap Mix together well and use right away. My mom discovered that if it is not mixed well the baking soda will clog the sprayer.  You also can't store this apparently it doesn't last in the bottle and it is no longe

Master Bedroom Makeover Board and Batten

 I highly recommend a few items although you don't HAVE to have them it just makes this project go so much faster.  I bought a pancake compressor with three nail guns included saved me on this project and a miter saw.  I bought both from Home Depot and they didn't pay me to say that it is just where I happen to shop.  I actually had this all measured out and went to Home Depot and they cut the mdf primed boards for me.  However I later purchased the miter saw and was then able to cut things right here at my house.  The nail gun I used is a 16 gauge gun that can shoot nails up to 3 inches.  I used a 2.5 inch nail to cover the thickness of the board and wall. Ok so I recommend deciding how you want your boards spaced first and measure and mark on the wall where you want them.  I tried to do every 16 inches because that is how far apart my studs were but then I realized my wall wasn't an even length and so I have some that look a little off on the ends.  Lesson learned
