Here is a nice and easy home made lip balm. I havent personally tried this yet, but I have heard good things about it. And, it seems cheap and easy enough that it won't be a huge bummer if it doesn't work.
What you need
A "pot" of some sort (I'm going to use an empty pot from my last lip balm)
Petroleum Jelly
Aloe Vera Gel
Simply fill half the pot with the petroleum jelly, and the other half with the aloe vera. Stir with a toothpick until they are very well mixed. No need to perfectly measure anything, just remember that if it is too slick, add more petroleum jelly, and if its too goopy and hard to spread, add more aloe. This is supposed to work very well for very dry lips
Awesome advice, ideas, recipes, and crafts for you and your kids!

Craft- Seashell Picture Frame
What you need
Any sized picture frame
Hot Glue
Small/medium seashells
Summer photo
This is a fun and easy craft that I loved doing with my mom when I was a kid. Simply glue the seashells onto the frame using the hot glue, however you would like. You can also use glitter and paint to decorate the shells before you put them on the frame. Once the frame is covered in shells, add the photo, and you have a very beautiful summer photo in a lovely, customized summer fun frame!

Valentine's Day Craft- Piggy Card
What you need
Pink Construction Paper
Scissors
Markers
Glue
Cut out a large heart out of pink construction paper. This will be the piggy's head. On another sheet of pink paper, cut out two triangles (ears) and another, smaller heart(nose). Also cut two 1/2 inch strips. Glue the ears in place, and add detail if you'd like. Take the two strips, and glue the ends together perpendicularly(in an L shape). Now, fold the bottom paper over the top. This should make it into another L. Keep doing this to make a spring, and glue the tops together. Once it dries, glue the base of the spring into the middle of the heart, where the nose will be. Now, glue the heart shaped nose on the top of the spring, to make a pop-out nose. Color two nostrils onto the nose. Now, draw two heart eyes, and a pretty little smile.
