Finding some spring projects to do with my kids

Guest post written by Alex Hunt

It’s always a big deal to get my kids to stay inside when it isn’t really warm enough for them to play outside. My kids are especially prone to colds, even though they eat well and take their vitamins, so I worry about them playing outside in colder weather. But it’s almost spring time and they’re a little more restless now because of it. So I’m trying to find some activities for them to do inside that are spring-y.

I thought that it would be really fun to try and make some birdhouses with the kids. While I was looking up some easy kids’ birdhouses directions I saw info regarding DEBT COUNSELING. As I was looking up some more info on it and how it would affect my family’s debt, I decided to use the counseling services.

I found all kinds of little birdhouse directions to make with the kids and I decided on the simplest one that I could find. Plus, it will be a lot more fun to actually paint the birdhouses than to just assemble them.

Cloth Napkins

I was watching a show a little while ago where they were talking about reducing your carbon footprint. I’m probably a little bit more interested in saving the planet than most of the people that I know, so I paid attention to the show to see if there was something I could do that I haven’t been doing to reduce our carbon footprint. They suggested using cloth napkins instead of paper napkins as much as possible.

Well, I’m really not sure exactly how much “energy” using cloth napkins will save because in my experience you have to wash and iron them. I’m thinking that the “energy” used to wash and iron them might be a larger carbon footprint than using paper napkins. What do you think?

College Games

My old college roommates have been trying to get me to join them in a paintball game sometime really soon. We used to have a great time together when we were in college playing paintball on a regular basis. It was great exercise and loads of fun! After the game we would go to the local pub for a bite to eat and hang out and party the rest of the evening.

I’m not even sure where my old paintball equipment is nowadays; I think I lost it along the way. If I’m going to get involved in playing again I’m going to have to think about buying it. The Ultimate Paintball store at pntball.com website is where I’ll be going to buy my new equipment if I decide to take the plunge and get back into it. They have free shipping and the best prices on the Internet. I see that the tippmann a5 set is on sale at half price right now, so that is a pretty strong incentive to pick it up now!
