Got a sitting gig coming up? Instead of wracking your brain coming up with fun activities to amuse the kids, try crafting up some easy-breezy ways to bring dress-up games and make-believe romps to life. We’ve got three so-easy tutorials for kid-wowing accessories.


Calling all fairy queens and prima ballerinas!

What little girl doesn’t want to prance around in a tutu made especially for her? Twig and Toadstool has a tutu craft that is 100-percent no-sew. Just grab some tulle and ribbons and you’re ready to go.


 


CLICK HERE for the tutorial.


A handful of button rings

Sitting for a sweet little girl with glamorous dreams? Craft her a ring for every finger with Jill Dubien. All you’ll need are some child-sized rings, bright buttons and a glue gun to hold everything together.

Hello, your highness!

Princes and princesses will delight in these colorful felt crowns from Lu Bird Baby. Child-sized headbands, felt, decorative bits and a hot glue gun are all that’s needed for this one.

my mom thinks gay/lesbian relationships are evil and start with a perv while one of the people is a victim. She said that if i don't believe that then i don't believe in God because thats what the bible says. But i dont believe it. I believe in God, and everything in the bible EXCEPT that gay relationships are evil. What should i do?




Hey girlie--just because you believe in that particular aspect of the Bible, doesn't mean you don't believe in God. No one follows every aspect of the Bible, yet they are avid believers in God. You and your mom simply have to agree to disagree.

I have to go to my brothers baseball game tonight. I really dont want to go because I get bored out of my mind. I try to watch the game but I just am not interested. What can I do to occupy my time? And if you have any book suggestions that would be great! Thanks. Smile




Hey girlie! Maybe you'd have more fun at the game if you went with a friend of yours. As for book suggestions have you looked at our Beach Blanket Book Club reads? http://www.girlslife.com/post/2011/04/27/Beach-Blanket-Book-Club-2011.aspx

First, one of the only places I babysit is at my sisters house, which is on the corner of two decently busy streets, and it is really old, and the neighborhood isnt that good. I get REALLY scared sometimes when I hear a creak, and onetime my sister told me she heard random knocking on her garage door and it freaked her out. I guess basically I am asking how do I forget about my fear, and move on, and convince myself nothing will happen? Also those are like my only couple i sit for, and she doesnt even pay me that much for babysitting cuz i am her sister and all, and i respect that, but all of my relatives live 30 mins away, and no one on my street or in my neighborhood has kids that need babysitting. I cant babysit through my parents work becuase my mom also works 30 mins away, and my dad works with a bunch of single guys. So basically what I am asking is what other jobs are there where I can get money, I was thinking of an allowance, but what should my parents pay me?




Hey girlie! When you're babysitting at your sister's house, make sure to lock all the doors and turn on the lights. You could try playing some soft, happy music or watching a funny movie. That'll take your mind off your fears and you won't be able to hear the creepy creaking. As for other jobs, you could try looking at this article for ideas: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2011/05/19/15-ways-to-make-major-moolah-this-summer.aspx. You could ask your parents if they'd be willing to give you an allowance, but how much money they give you would really be up to them.
