article: Any of the following can be fun: Waitress ( restaurant), when having meals. Board games. Hide and seek. Find different games for different age groups. Any appropriate games you can find online that sound fun. Try to find a fun way to clean the house with everyone's help. Try sponge skating, its putting sponges on your feet and cleaning the floor. Or pretend you are a princess and you're dancing with prince mop. Little kids love to play pretend and dress up, so bring costume items like hats and tutus. Have a coloring contest, bring coloring books and crayons. Make a life size board game with cardboard and be the game pieces. If the parents want you to prepare meals, do so within your ability. See further How to cook while babysitting. Have a contest to see if they can get their bath done (optional), teeth brushed, pajamas on, and in bed in a certain amount of time. If they get it done they get a reward, like watching some television for a few minutes, or they get a coloring book, or a big sticker.

article: In some states, you can get 5 or 10 cents per can or bottle by returning them to a deposit center. There are many ways to take advantage of this opportunity: Scrounge up all of the cans and bottles you can find around your home. Look for cans and bottles in trash cans, along busy roads, and anywhere that people hang out (parks, stadiums, etc.). If you've got a big pile of scrap in your backyard, own a junked camper or other vehicle, or know of a dump site where you can legally salvage materials, you can sort and sell it to a scrap yard or recycling center in your area. Metals such as scrap steel, copper, or aluminum can fetch good prices. If your state doesn't have a can/bottle refund system, you can still sell aluminum cans to a scrap yard. Computers are full of valuable metals such as steel, aluminum, and gold. If you dismantle old computers, you can sort these metals and sell them to a salvage yard, or you may be able to find buyers who will accept the old computer as is and scrap it themselves. If possible, get several computers to scrap to make it worth your while. For instance, offer to take outdated computers from a school doing upgrades or find junked computers. Don't scrap good, working computers; what you get for the scrap won't be as much as you could get by selling the components or the entire device.

article:
If ants are in your home, they're getting in somewhere. Since they're so small, even a tiny crack can let them in. Inspect your home for cracks and crevices, making repairs where necessary. Apply a layer of caulk around windows. Fix torn window screens. Use plaster to repair holes in walls. Replace damaged door sweeps. This keeps the ants out of your food and deters ants from entering your kitchen. Without a food source, there's no reason for them to come! You can get airtight containers at your local department store, homegoods store, or online. after each meal. Ants usually only enter your home if there's a food source there. Unfortunately, even a small amount of food can draw ants. You need to keep all traces of food cleaned up to keep the ants away. Don't allow dirty dishes to sit in the sink. Wash them daily or after every meal, for best results. Spray down and wipe counters using soapy water, an all-purpose cleaner, or a solution of 1 part apple cider vinegar and 1 part water. Sweep and mop the kitchen daily to remove crumbs that could attract ants. If your family eats in other areas of your home, you should sweep or vacuum those areas daily. Place your food bowls in a slightly larger container. Then, add water to the larger bowl so that the food bowl is surrounded by water. This creates a "moat" that is hard for ants to cross. Refill the larger bowl regularly to maintain the moat. You don't need to refill the bowl until the water appears low. The scents of these substances repel ants. Additionally, coffee grounds are acidic and can burn the ants if they attempt to cross it. You can also use cinnamon or peppermint essential oil. Simply mix a few drops of the oil into a spray bottle full of water, then spray it around doors and windows. Colonies regularly send out lone ants to check for food sources. If you see an individual ant strolling across your coffee table, don't let it make it back to the nest alive! It will provide a trail for the rest of the colony, who will soon make the journey into your home. Killing this single ant can save you a lot of headaches down the road by preventing an infestation.
