How To: Win A Water Balloon Fight!
When I was a kid, there were no computer games, so we were always outside playing. I think the only time you would catch us indoors was when it was cartoon time, or if it was raining.

How To: Have Fun Going Tweet Shopping
I have a confession to make. I hate shopping. I know it's strange since many women love to go to the mall, but not me. I live in a big city (Atlanta). To me, the driving, parking, traffic and crowds are just not worth it. Like a lot of Americans, I do most of my shopping online.
However, there is ...

The Rainbow Cocktail Shots: Can You Explain It?
Ordering a nice drink can be quite a task if you do not know what you want.

Beer isn't always the best choice either ...

How To: Make Hand Puppets!
Do you remember Sesame Street or The Muppet Show? I do. I grew up watching those shows. I always thought that the puppets were really alive. I guess the puppeteers on those shows were so good at what they did that a child could believe the puppets were living and breathing.
A hand puppet is a ...
How To: Turn A Boring Nightlight Into Awesome!
When I was a child, I could not sleep in a dark room. I always needed to have a small light on. My dad would leave the nightlight in the bathroom on and keep the door in our room open just a little so we could have a little bit of light while we fell asleep. Thank goodness for nightlights. They ...
