I run an in-home daycare. I have 7 children (1 is my own). Yes, I know that I am crazy :) Being summertime, I am having a difficult time finding activities to fill the day. I have structure, but I would really like to replace some of that "tv time" with things we can do together. I have two different age groups, and they tend to split up...so that's good news. I can do things with the babies while the big kids are playing and vice versa. I have all boys, ages 2, 3 and 14 months. The bigger boys are 6, 8 and 8. I also have a baby girl who is 8 months...don't need ideas for her, but I thought I would throw her in the mix! I am looking for inexpensive ideas. The typical coloring and fingerpainting just isn't cutting it anymore! Any suggestions?? Thanks!

For the older kids, do the parachute. when you hold up a circular sheet and make it float in the air and the kids run under it and have so much fun.

Or maybe one of those big plastic castles playhouses. fairly cheep. keeps them amused. and lets them be creative.



:]


ok well over the last few days i got a really bad sunburn! but only on my face well now its staring to peel! and now i have like light blotches everywhere!!! all over my face! does any1 know wut i can use to get rid of it???
please help asap!!

(link)
Aloe vera--of course.

ALSO!

get the white vineger. fill up your bath tub about half way then pour about a cup and a half in the water. It should take away the sting. it might burn then a bit, but it should feel better after.

and get like 2 % milk. and dip a paper towel in it at room temp, and put in on the sunburn for about 20 min. be sure to rinse so the milk on your body dont spoil. :]


OK so I'm not trying to sound concieded but i no i'm really popular and my boyfriend gets really mad because everyone stops and talks to me and asks me questions. And he doesnt like that i have a lot of guy friends. But thats just how i am i have a million friends i'm really socail what do i tell him (link)
Let him know that despite all your guy friends, you love him. If you wanted one of your guy friends, you would be dating them, but your not, your dating him. so make sure he knows hes the only one for you. Tell him that just because your social, it dont mean you forget him, and that hes important to you. :]


Hey my name is Rachel and iam 17 years old and my family's moving and I was wondering what kind of theme would be good for a 17 year old's bedroom? (link)
music. Maybe theres a certain band or genre of music. Decoate with that. like if rock is your style, put of band pictures, maybe music notes. or maybe just a lot of colors, paint each wall diffrent. Just express your self. and hve fun with it. be crazy be you :]


I have curly hair a little below my shoulders and I really want it to be straight. With the straightener I have right now it takes me about two hours to straighten my hair after I shower, so it's starting to prevent my from showering as much. What kinds of good cermanic hair straighteners/products are there? I did some research on an Oblivie Hair Straightening System, does anyone know anything about that? (link)
Hmmm. Chemicles will SCREW UP YOUR HAIR.
but there is one. (my hair dresser told me , but im not sure if there using it yet) called IO-BIONIC i think. so keep an eye out for that. its suposed to work good with out killing it.

as far as ceramic straigheners, i would suggest ANDIS ( model csi-2e) it is amazign. i have very curly hair. its not even springy its just crazy. its thik and fluffy and curly. ANd it just kills the curls. one slide down and its like gone. only like 20 bucks at walmart. i have hair VERY unmanagable and below my shoulders, and it hasnt taken me more then 45 min yet. i know what you mean about the showering thing. i just pull it up in a bun and us the tub. i cant wear my hair down unless its straight or it looks gross. haha. good luck


My Ex and I just got back on speaking terms. We were told that a close friend of ours sabotaged the relationship because he wanted to go out with me.... which turned out to be true. I have wanted to tell my Ex about getting back together. I've called him and emailed and I haven't heard anything from him. I saw him the other night and we were hanging out and things were just fine. I don't know what to do. I want to tell him, but how? What are some approaches I can use? (link)
The casual "i thought you knew" approch. Like some how get one that guys name. like say that bad friends name is bob. say like "yeah that one day when me and bob went shopping it was fun,""but i still cant trust hhim after what he did to us" then if your ex says WHat do you mean? say like "HOw he sabotaged us? you never heard???" or theres the STraight up approach. Just some how casually get on the subject of you dating. and just bring it up about him and how mean that was and your sorry and stuff.

good luck. livelaughlearnloveLIFE


do girls like it when you look them in the eye when you talk to them (link)
Yes actually. we do. Because when guys look away from us when theyre talking, we dont know if theyre lying. And some times Guys look around if theyre nervous, like about breaking up or somthing, so when you do that, we dont know if your about to dump us. ALso, we dont know what your looking at. you might be saying i love you and looking at some other girls goodies at the same time. It makes us feel uncomfertable. WHen you look at girl in the eyes, we know that your being honest and that your looking at US and not some one else. And we also feel like maybe your thinnking "wow her eyes are gorgeous". Even if you werent, we still think that which makes us feel good :].


So I had a friend back three years ago. And back then, we were too young to date, but we both really liked eachother-- just didn't tell one another. But I knew he liked me and he knew I liked him. He went to this private school and I hadn't heard from him in three years when I saw him at my day camp--- we are counselors at my camp. And he is so different and some of my friends like him, though he doesn't like them, and I think I might.
Or I wanted to talk to him more than we did today because I really enjoyed it.
Is there anything I can do? We haven't been frieds in so long and we are both so different. (link)
JUst make casual conversation for starters. I mean if it worked out like this, then it was meant to be. its not no coincidence. What you can do is remind him of when you were friends. "hey do you remember that one time when we ...." That will start converstaion then make him remember the times.then casually say somthing maybe like "i remember liking you" and maybe itll go from there. or just take it slow and make casual conversation building up to when you actually want to tell him how you really feel.


fjdsh GOODLUCK

I am a 14/f and I would really like to start babysitting. How can I find people with kids though who are in need of a babysitter? (link)
If you feel responsibel enough, then get your self out there! try this..

--ask mom/dad/aunts/uncles if they have friends that need help.
--Post flyers around your neighbor hood, telephone poles, news papers, school bulltetin bords, and stuff like that.
--ask people who have kids in your neighbor hood if they ever need any help.
--be open minded. Not just baby sitting. Offer a buisness of maybe Pet sitting? or Cleaning up there house when there at work?
--Ask friends if they have brothers and sisters. My friends hate babysitting there younger sibs, so they ask me.

good luck have fun :]


(its kind of long...sorry)

I met this guy in like, February. Freaking awesome. He was totally hitting on me and he was always smiling. We hooked up that night. I gave him my number, just to see if he would call me. 2 weeks later he did. He said he enjoyed his time with me and wanted to hand out again. We tried to get together for 4 months, but nothing worked. I won't get into detail on that. Everytime I talk to him, he ALWAYS makes me smile and feel wonderful about myself. He said he appreciates it when I call and when I talk to him. He said he doesn't care what other people think. He said that he really likes me and wanted to be more than friends. Well we became more than friends. Ever since then I've been feeling like I love him, not like him. I mean like really love him. My horoscopes make perfect sense, my intuition is leading me in the right direction, and I've been oh so happy. I told him that he makes me feel like I'm worth something and he said, "You deffinately are." He helped me get through a tough time, and he helped me stop cutting. I helped him stop smoking...for a while, and he's just perfect for me. I just don't know how to tell him I want to date him. plus, my dad doesn't like this at all, and i want him to understand. Any ideas? SORRY IT WAS SO LONG. (link)
Follow those instincts you have. Dont let this go. if hes really as great as you say, then go for it. take it from me, when you have somting special, take it. or youll regret it. Call him one day and tell him your ready to take your relation ship up a notch. You want to start dating. call him say "ive been thinking letly, and your really awsome, maybe we could takes our relation ship further?" or somthing along those lines. And as far as your dad, hes just being a dad. NOt many fathers like the idea of his baby girl dating some boy. If your really love this boy, go for , despite what your dad thinks. Deep down, dad wants you to be happy. So he'll learn to accept it. Hes just looking out for you.

When I stand up from sitting or laying down, I get really light-headed, dizzy, and everything goes completely white for like 15 seconds. It's almost like temporary blindness. I've talked to various doctors about it, and they tell me the same thing, "stand up slowly." I tried that, but it still doesn't work. I can't see another doctor because we are reall ylow on money, so does anybody have any advice? (link)
Happens to me all the time. ALot of time when im in the shower/bath and i get up/out it happens too. I find it best to do it slowly and if your in the tub, splash your self with cold water. Take a few deep breaths and fan your sself before getting up. You might have a blood sugar disorder. Im hypoglucemic, which means my blood sugar and my insulin dont move at the same time. So i tend to get dizzy and the light headedness kicks in. Theres usually a connection in there some where. any more questions just let me know :}

Grr!! This guy I kind of like but kind of don't keeps calling my cell phone and asking me if I want to hang out with him and I really don't want to! I keep bailing on him and I feel really bad!! So anyways, I told him that I lost my cell phone (WHich was a lie.) and he was like, ok just give me your home phone. WTF he didn't even ask! he just like forced me. (Well not really.) so what was I gonna do, say no, you can't have it. He thinks I like him a lot, when I only like him a little bit. (God, I sound so B****y, but I'm really not like this.) So anyways, I really don't want him calling my house phone. Like seriously. And I just gave it to him a few minutes ago and I really don't want him to call me!! Please what should I do!!

P.S.- Please don't tell me to tell him to stop calling, cause I just can't confront guys like that. Last time I did, he cryed the whole day. (I want out with an emo child.) (link)
Ehh. well if you wanna avoid telling him straigt up, you could always just lie.

Sounds mean. It is. but if you dont wanna hurt him, say like. IM GROUNDED FOR BACK TALKING MY PARENTS AND CANT USE THE FONE ANMORE. or casually bring up a boy friend. even if you dont have one. if your talking about shoes, casusally say like "yeah my boyfriend has these really ugly shoes with a yellow stripe..." maybe he'll leave you alone. who knows.

good luck :]


i have to run over the summer to get fit for field hockey (out coach said to) and i haven't done anything. i'm too lazy, but it's also been raining here and i have a little cold and i don't have a tredmil. what should i do? (link)
Hmm well. First try to kill that cold, with some anti biodicts. or tylenol.

Once thats gone, motivate your self. if you feel lazy just tell your self DO IT!
If its raing, then do somthing in your own living room. Like jog in place. or jumping jacks. tae boe even. ill turn on my tv and grab a bottle of water and excercise while i watch tv. I can be active and lazy at the same time.

Good luck with this.

--Secret lives of the free masons
--embrace today

Acoustic-----

And lot of regualr bands that do acoustic versions of songs like SENSES FAIL, BRAND NEW, MAE,and soooo on.

Have fun with this. Trust me. im the person to talk to about music. I work with music. Its my hobbie. I play 4 instruments. Its my job.
