			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These are my SUMMER MUST HAVES that I am reaching for the most when the sun is out and I want to show off a little skin! I have tried all these products and in my personal opinion have found they work best for me. My favorite *new* item I added specialy this summer were the ball earrings (see below).

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Finding the &#8220;right&#8221; kind of sunscreen can be hard and confusing, especially if you don&#8217;t know what to look for. I did a little research to help educate myself and you Mom&#8217;s out there wanting to protect your kids this summer!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1321" title="sun" src="http://www.twoheartstogether.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/sun.jpg" alt="Best Sunscreen for Kids! july" width="260" height="606" /></p>
<p><strong>What to look for in a sunscreen:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Something that provides broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection, usually a combination of sunscreen ingredients such as avobenzone, and/or a sunblock, such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.</li>
<li> Has an SPF of at least 15 to 30.</li>
<li> Is water resistant for swimming and sweaty days.</li>
<li> Is Hypoallergenic and Fragrance Free, especially if your child has sensitive skin.</li>
<li> Is in a form that is easy to use on your child, whether that means it is a gel, lotion, spray, continuous spray.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Parent Recommended Brands and Types:</strong><br />
* Banana Boat Baby or Kids Tear-Free Sunblock Lotion, SPF 50<br />
* Banana Boat Baby Faces Sunblock Stick, SPF 50<br />
* Banana Boat Kids Dri-Blok Sunblock Lotion, SPF 30<br />
* Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen, SPF 30<br />
* Bull Frog Kids FastBlast Sunblock Spray, SPF 36<br />
* Bull Frog &#8220;Quick Gel&#8221;, Waterproof Non-Sticky<br />
* Coppertone Kids Sunscreen Lotion, SPF 50<br />
* Coppertone Kids Sunscreen Continuous Spray, SPF 50<br />
* Coppertone WaterBabies Sunscreen Lotion, SPF 50<br />
* Hawaiian Tropic Baby Faces &amp; Tender Places Sunblock Spray, SPF 50+<br />
* Neutrogena Waterguard Kids Sunblock Lotion, SPF 70+<br />
* Neutrogena Pure &amp; Free Baby Sunblock Lotion, SPF 60+</p>
<p><strong>Extra Tips &amp; Tricks:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li> Apply a small amount to a small area of your child&#8217;s skin if you think he might have a reaction to the new sunscreen.</li>
<li> Remember that a sunscreen isn&#8217;t better just because it is more expensive.</li>
<li> Apply liberally a half-hour before going outside. Use more than you think you should.</li>
<li> Reapply every two hours.  The chemicals that protect you from the sun break down in the sun.</li>
<li> Reapply after swimming or sweating because water-resistant and sport sunscreens do wash off.</li>
<li> Throw out sunscreens that are one year old or over. The chemicals that protect you from the sun lose efficacy over time.</li>
<li> Sunscreen only works if you use it – keep a bottle or travel size, tube or stick everywhere: one in car, purse, diaper bag, stroller, beach bag.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Look at theses fabo red white and blue rice krispie treats using the original household favorite cereal! The trick to getting smooth bright colors for the flag is using tangy Airheads perfect for adults and kiddos!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1182" title="treat" src="http://www.twoheartstogether.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/treat.jpg" alt="4th of July Fabulous Flag Treats recipes" width="288" height="349" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">By: <a target="_blank" href="http://www.classbrain.com/artholiday/publish/4th_of_july_treats.shtml" >ClassBrain.com</a></p>
<p><strong>Supplies/Ingredients:</strong></p>
<p>* Crispy rice treats<br />
* Airheads Cherry bars<br />
* Airheads White Mystery bars<br />
* Airheads Blue Raspberry bars<br />
* Small kitchen knife or scissors<br />
* Small star-shaped cookie cutter (optional)</p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>Directions:</strong></p>
<p>1. Cut crispy rice treats into rectangles<br />
2. Cut part of an Airheads® Blue Raspberry bar to make the upper blue corner of the flag.<br />
3. Cut alternating strips of Airheads® Cherry and White Mystery to make the flag’s stripes. Arrange pieces on crispy rice treat. Trim to fit.<br />
4. Using either a star-shaped cookie cutter, or by hand, cut out a star shape from an Airheads® White Mystery bar. Place star on the blue square.<br />
5. Pack into kids lunchboxes or keep them for a great snack at home.</p>
<p><strong>Tip:</strong> If Airheads are hard to cut, take them out of their wrappers and place them on a microwave-safe plate. Warm them slightly in the microwave on Low for 10 seconds.</p>

I have made variations of salt dough at my center with the kids and this is a nice keepsake they can take home and have forever! The heart shape is my favorite!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1175" title="pin" src="http://www.twoheartstogether.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/pin.jpg" alt="4th of July Salt Dough Pins crafts" width="350" height="255" /><a target="_blank" href="http://crafts.kaboose.com/fourth-of-july-salt-dough-pins.html" >By: Crafts Kaboose</a></p>
<p><strong>Supplies:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li> ½ cup salt</li>
<li> 1 cup flour</li>
<li> ½ cup water</li>
<li> Acrylic paint: red, white and blue</li>
<li> Pin backs</li>
<li> White craft glue</li>
<li> Small cookie cutters: heart, star, number 4</li>
<li> Acrylic sealer spray</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Directions:</strong></p>
<p>1. Mix together the salt, flour, and water. If dough is sticky, add additional tablespoons of flour one at a time until the mixture is smooth a pliable. Be careful not to add too much or your projects will crack.<br />
2. Roll out or press dough with your hand and use cookie cutters to cut out shapes.<br />
3. Place shapes on cookie sheet and heat oven to 250 degrees F.<br />
4. Place cookie sheet in oven and bake for 1 ½ to 2 ½ hours, or until items are dry. Remove from oven and let cool.<br />
5. Paint all the shapes white and let dry.<br />
6. Use a small paintbrush to ad red stripes and a medium paintbrush to add solid blue to the heart and the star. You may need a second coat of blue. Let dry.<br />
7. Use a toothpick dipped in paint to write “JULY” down the side of the number 4 pin. Write “I love (draw a heart share) USA) on the heart pin. Use the handle end of a paintbrush dipped in paint to add polka dots onto the number 4 and the top of the star.<br />
8. Let them all dry and have an adult spray them with acrylic sealer.<br />
9. Turn pins over and glue on pin backs. Use a generous amount of glue and let them dry completely before wearing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">This unique patriotic mobile craft is made using 100% recycled soup can lids! This project does require you to have a can opener that smooths the edges of the can as you open ( like the one from <a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0016JYNUM?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=we36in-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0016JYNUM/?tag=we36in-20" >Pampered Chef</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=we36in-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=B0016JYNUM" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="4th of July Patrotic Mobile crafts" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" title="4th of July Patrotic Mobile" /><br />
) but another alternative if you don&#8217;t have the smooth edge can opener you can use tops from frozen juice cans because those are already smooth!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fun patriotic Pinwheels that are quick and an inexpensive way to decorate! Make a centerpiece for your July 4th celebrations then as the night ends send everyone home with a pinwheel party favor! Beautiful pictures and full tutorial from <a target="_blank" href="http://www.anitasarts.com/blog/?p=11" >AnitasArts.com</a></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1115" title="july4tutz" src="http://www.twoheartstogether.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/july4tutz.jpg" alt="Fourth of July Pinwheel Centerpiece crafts" width="400" height="336" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1116" title="july4tut9" src="http://www.twoheartstogether.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/july4tut9.jpg" alt="Fourth of July Pinwheel Centerpiece crafts" width="250" height="230" /></p>
<p><strong>Supplies:</strong><br />
* Double Sided 12″ x 12″ Scrapbook Paper (Different pattern on each side)<br />
* Paper Trimmer<br />
* Roller dispenser with double sided tape or double sided glue dots<br />
* Thumbtacks &#8211; beware all thumbtacks are not created equally. Some of the points are not long enough. Get some that are at least 3/8″ long. A little longer would be better, but shorter will not let the pinwheels spin around.<br />
* Pencils with erasers in red, whites, and or blues<br />
* Container for centerpiece &#8211; I just used a white milk glass bowl that I had on hand<br />
* Piece of Styrofoam cut to fit inside container<br />
* Masking tape<br />
* Red or Blue shredded paper</p>
<p><strong>Directions:</strong><br />
Step 1. Using a paper trimmer cut the 12″ x 12″ piece of scrapbook paper into four- 4″ x 4″ squares.<br />
Step 2. Lay one 4″ square onto the paper trimmer diagonally lining up the corners on the cutting line. Cut down from the top to the 3-1/2″ mark. Make another cut from the bottom of the paper up to the 5″ mark.<br />
Step 3. Repeat 2 cuts on opposite diagonal.<br />
Step 4. If you separate the cuts slightly you will see four triangles that join in the center. Roll double sided tape on the top left angle of triangle at top of paper.<br />
Step 5.  Pull angle down overlapping center of paper slightly and stick.<br />
Step 6. Turn paper one quarter turn to left.<br />
Step 7.  Repeat steps 4 through 6, three more times.<br />
Step 8. Slowly push thumbtack through center taking care to go through all points.<br />
Step 9.  Push thumbtack into the pencil eraser. If the pinwheel won’t turn then pull out the thumbtack slightly.<br />
Step 10. Make desired number of pinwheels needed to fit into container.</p>
