Clean Your Mattress
Cleaning a mattress is a relatively easy job and can take as little as thirty minutes, plus the actual laundry time for the bedding. Strip the bedding off the mattress, even the protective mattress cover. If the mattress cover is made out of cloth, put it into the washer. (Make sure you read the tag on the mattress cover to see if there are any special cleaning instructions.) Add some bleach and laundry soap to the machine and wash in hot water. When finished, place the articles into the dryer.
If the weather is nice outside and you have help,now would be a good time to take the mattress outside and let it air out. If this isn’t the right time to air out the mattress, just go on to the next step.
With nothing on the mattress take out your vacuum and put the hose on it. Vacuum the mattress and make sure you get into the little crevices and seams. If there are a few stains on the mattress, take time to try and remove them. Using a good disinfectant like Lysol, spray the mattress. This will help get rid of all those little dust mites.
Turn your mattress over and repeat the cleaning process. When you are finished vacuuming, keep this side up. Rotating the mattress every season prolongs the life of the mattress.
When the cleaning process is finished put the protective mattress cover back on. Not only does the cover protect the mattress, it also gives some protection from the dust mites. Place the clean bedding back onto the bed. Now you have a really clean bed from the mattress up.
It has been recommended to do this process at least two times a year, but four times a year (every season) would keep those dust mites away and reduce your chances of related allergies.
Capture the Flag
There are two teams.
Team 1 has the front yard and Team 2 has the back yard, or a field was split between the two teams. The teams are given a time period, like 5 minutes, to hide their flag in their part of the yard.
[optional] During this period spies were sent out to see were the flag was hidden as well as look-outs to catch the spies.
When the flag is hidden you call out that you are finished. Then you simply try to get the other teams flag. If you get caught and tagged by the opponent on their territory you had to go to jail and could only be freed by a teammate who grabs you when your opponent isn’t looking.
The first team to capture the flag wins. In most versions you had to both get the flag, and bring it back to your side.
Winning Wedding Favors
Purchase lottery tickets for your reception guests. This is something they can have fun with, unlike a coaster or trinket, that will most likely not match thier decor. Make up some cute ticket holders like these, or an envelope style. Dont forget to give them a shiny penny to scratch ’em off with!
Do a Cartwheel
I remember my Dad’s story of how he thought I’d never be able to do a cartwheel when I first started out in Gynastics class. Well I might have learned faster with a little help from this:
