Red, White, and Blue Rice Centerpiece - White uncooked rice, rubbing alcohol, food coloring (red and blue), a clear vase. Divide your rice into 3 equal parts. Place 2 of the parts into 2 baggies, one for red and one for blue. The third part you’ll leave plain white. Add food coloring to each bag (8-10 drops for each color). Add 1 tsp of rubbing alcohol to each bag. This helps with the drying of the rice.

Once boiling add cornstarch mixed with cold water to boiling mixture. Continue adding cornstarch/water till desired consitency is reached. I used about 2 tsps cornstarch with 1 tbsp water. A few drops of food coloring to add color. Of course I used red so it would resemble the Chinese Buffett sauce. !!

Breaking Bad - Blue Rock Candy: 2 cups water, 1 cup white corn syrup, 3 1/2 cups sugar, 1/4 tsp cream of tartar. Then I added: 1/4 tsp vanilla extract, 3 drops of blue gel food coloring. I boiled the mixture and then continued stirring it on the heat until it reached 300 degrees F (used a candy thermometer to measure the temp). At that point, I poured it into a tray to cool. It hardened up in about an hour and then I smashed it to pieces.

Home Remedies To Kill Bed Bugs - Make your own natural insecticide by adding a few drops of lavender, rosemary and eucalyptus essential oils into a cup of water. Then spray it all over, to kill them. / Spray hot steam slowly, 2" away from all surfaces. / Spray rubbing alcohol all over, to kill them and their eggs.

money game - Hot glue some coins to about 20 popsicle sticks. Write "Kaboom" on about 5 sticks. Kids play in groups of 2-4. When it's your turn, you pull out a stick. You add the coin values and tell the amount. If your partner or group members agree with you, you get to keep the stick. If you pull a Kaboom stick you have to put all of your sticks back in the cup.

I make my own essential oil reed diffusers. It's simple. All you need is a glass container with a narrow opening (to slow evaporation), 1/4 cup of a light oil like sweet almond or safflower oil, 15-20 drops essential oil, 2 Tbsp of alcohol to help oils travel up reeds (vodka works great), and reed sticks. Flip sticks every few days to refresh scent. click photo to get these great brown reed diffuser sticks

Take a spray bottle, fill it about 1/8th full with rubbing alcohol, add a drop of Dawn dishwashing soap, a few drops of scented oil (optional, but makes it smell so good), fill the rest of the way with water, shake together, and you're good to go! It makes your granite (or any countertop) shine and feel so smooth at a fraction of the price~I have loved it and use it on my appliances as well.
