Though a cross-country road trip can take you to many beautiful places and show you stunning landscapes, there comes a time when boredom sets in and everyone gets a little stir crazy.
If you're traveling with kids, this can be even worse!
With little ones, they may be constantly seeking attention, and even older siblings can start to pester their younger siblings after a few hours, driving everyone insane.
And while there's no perfect solution to preventing family feuds on a 10-hour road trip, you can do small things like introduce games to the kids to keep them entertained.
These 30 road trip printables will have you covered with fun games like
My Cowsto make even the most empty country field feel exciting.
Plus, these printables also include checklists to ensure you don't forget anything, so you can both stay organize and have fun.
Plus, some of these games are fun for all ages and keep everyone away from their screens and focused on the sites and locations their driving through instead. It's the perfect way to get everyone involved and help them enjoy the nature of the road trip!

Some of my dog guests have brought their owner's t-shirts to help the dog not miss their owners so much while they are away.So I thought this frugal tip might be a great combination of a dog owner's scent and a dog's favorite toy!
This is the first project in a new series, and it's really easy and quick to make — I am sure you already have everything you need to get started.
Need an awesome pet sitter? Search thousands of trusted, insured pet sitters near you.I wanted to have a few different colors in my toys, so I used four t-shirts, but ended up with 6 toys. So you probably could make this with just one old t-shirt. Perfect for chewing and tug-of-war!
Like: Facebook.com/Pupvacay
Here's what you will need:
• One or more old t-shirts, in different colors (if you want).
• Scissors
• Just a few minutes
NOTE: Your dog will like this toy better if you DO NOT wash the t-shirts first! Soft t-shirts work best, as they are easier to tie. But with bigger dogs and stronger teeth, you may want to use a tougher fabric, even something like denim.
Step 1: Cut 15-30 pieces, 1-2" (2.5-5 cm) wide in 16"-30" (40-76cm) long. (Or even longer if you want!)
(Small dog - 15-20 pieces, 1" wide, Large dog - 20-30 pieces, 1"-2" wide).
Step 2: Divide your 15-30 pieces into 3 piles of 5-10 pieces each.
For mine, since I have little dogs, with little teeth, I cut my pieces 1" wide (2.5cm), and only used 20 pieces for some, only 15 pieces for the shorter toys. I got shorter pieces from the hem to under the arm of the t-shirt (about 16"or 40cm), and longer pieces from the hem to the neckline (20" or 50cm).
Step 3: Tie a knot in one end, making sure to pull tightly on the tassels so there is an inch or more dangling after the knot. Separate the pieces into three sections, and make a few braids, as snugly as you can, leaving at least 5 inches for your second knot.
I found even at just 15 pieces, the knot took up more of the fabric than I expected, and was a bit fiddly to get the tassels thru. So the longer you leave the tassel portion, the easier it will be to tie the knot. I also found I got better at making tight braids as I made each toy.
If the braids are too loose, your dog will be able to tear it apart easily, but since these toys didn't cost me anything, I can easily replace them. But watch your dog, and make sure to take the toy away if it is getting destroyed - for your dog's safety.
Step 4: Make a knot on the other end. You are done!
As I said, the four XL t-shirts I had made six small toys, of varying lengths, using 15 -20 pieces per toy.
So I tossed the new toys on the floor to see if the dogs would have any interest?
Denny, Dexter, and Percy immediately came over to check out the new toys.
My dogs grabbed a toy each, but Percy didn't seem too interested. But then these toys didn't have his owner scent on them!
Hope you found this tutorial helpful. I'll be making more frugal dog stuff in the coming weeks, so be sure to check back often!

♦ Tony Hawk - Be tobacco free!
-- Pro-skateboarder Tony Hawk, who started the extreme sports movement, has turned away big-money offers from tobacco companies. This poster featuring Hawk in action clearly demonstrates that this mega sports star would rather use his celebrity status to teach kids about the dangers of using tobacco.
♦ The Tobacco-Free Sports Playbook: Creating Programs for Healthier Youth, Teams, and Communities
-- Sports activities are still a great way to reach our nation's young people with information about how to make important health decisions related to tobacco use, physical activity, and nutrition. Because health behaviors are usually established in childhood, positive choices must be promoted and reinforced before damaging behaviors start or become habits.

Sometimes the teeth on a zipper do not line up right, causing the zipper to catch.
Follow these basic instructions to easily fix your zipper.
You will need:

Jenness Marielouise Moss Stock posted: Or you can take them to your local dry cleaner. They replace a zipper for a very nominal fee. I know this site is suggesting a more
frugalway to do it, but sometimes the time and effort saved are worth letting someone else do it for a small charge!
Michelle Dabomb Brown posted: Use fishing line. May sound dumb, but it has saved all my snow gear! It's not cheap and when a strap's stitching comes off on a hill you'll understand. I reinforce every stitch on all our gear immediately after its purchase to make sure no accidents happen!
Amy Madsen Bjerke posted: I hope this will work on my son's backpack.
Gwen Mahar posted: A new zipper is $10-$12 here, so when the kids break a zipper it's not always worth fixing so good tip.
