article: Preschoolers are just starting to learn to recognize letters and numbers, so look for games that focus on those things. Make sure the games are easy to understand so the preschooler you’re babysitting can follow along.  Play with them on a big ABC mat. Play with letter tiles. Hold up a tile and have them guess what letter it is. If they get it right, give them the tile. Play memory with a deck of cards. Spread all the cards out face down and have them flip the cards 2 at a time. The goal is for them to flip over 2 cards that are the same number. If there's no playdough in the house, ask the preschooler to help you make some from scratch. Put the playdough on a tray or plate so the preschooler you’re babysitting doesn’t make a mess. Help them build things with it and show them how to roll the playdough with their hands.  Don’t forget to clean up when you’re finished. Make sure the preschooler you're babysitting doesn't try to eat the playdough! Keep in mind that preschoolers may get things on their skin and in their mouth, so don’t use any supplies that are toxic or messy. Stick with crafts that are simple and easy to clean up. Supervise them at all times so they don't make a big mess.  Have the preschooler you’re babysitting play with stickers. Give them a sheet of paper and help them peel off the stickers and stick them to the paper. Give them paper and crayons to draw with. Crayons aren’t as messy as markers or paint, so you won’t have to worry about a big clean up afterward. Have them draw shapes and then you cut them out. Then, let them position the shapes on a sheet of paper. You can tape or glue the shapes to the paper for them. Avoid strenuous or overly active games that could lead to the preschooler you’re babysitting getting hurt. If you’re going to bring them outside, stick with activities where you’re sitting or walking, as opposed to running or throwing things.  Go outside and draw with sidewalk chalk. Prepare some bubbles and let the preschooler you’re babysitting play with them outside. Walk them around the backyard and teach them about the different plants and animals you encounter. If you can't find a show on TV, search online and watch an episode of something on the computer. This is a great activity for later in the evening when the preschooler you're babysitting may be getting tired. Limit their screen time to 1 hour so you don't spend the whole time you're babysitting them watching TV.  Make sure you get permission from their parents before you watch something with them. Ask the preschooler or their parents what their favorite TV shows are.

article: Before you apply the milk paint, you need to make sure that the surface you are painting is smooth and ready to receive paint. If you are painting a wall, remove any nails or fixtures sticking out of the wall. If you are painting a piece of furniture, sand it so that the surface is smooth. Milk paint can be used as soon as it is finished being made. Before you use your milk paint, stir it well with a large spoon to make sure that all the ingredients are blended.  Stirring is especially important if you have let the paint sit. If you are worried that the paint won’t stick to the surface, add a measure of acrylic binder to the milk paint. Follow the instructions on the container to determine how much to add. Use a bristle brush or a foam roller to apply the first layer of paint all over the surface you are painting. Don’t run the brush over the same area of paint too much, or it will leave large streaks. Use a bristle brush if you like the look of antiqued finishes where you can see the faint lines of the brush. If you want a more uniform finish, use a foam roller. Wait from an hour and a half to two hours to let the first layer of paint dry. If you begin to paint before the first layer is finished, the paint job won’t look clean. Before you paint the second layer, give the milk paint a stir to make sure that the ingredients haven’t settled or separated. Then apply the second layer of paint. Two layers of paint is often enough to coat a surface. If the paint job looks thin or you can still see the surface underneath, wait for the second layer to dry, then apply a third layer. Depending on what you are painting, you may wish to apply a topcoat. You can use any kind of topcoat you wish over milk paint, whether it be natural or acrylic/urethane. A topcoat helps to protect the paint job and can add a finish like a varnish, shellac or gloss. Put any leftover paint you may have in the fridge. You can keep milk paint for up to three days if you store it in the fridge. However, because the paint separates, it’s best used while fresh.

Some apps can be tailored to specific demographics and interests, making it even easier to search for a good match! For the best results, create an open and honest profile with accurate images of yourself. Start with just one app or website and take it slow. If you feel overwhelmed at first, try limiting your online browsing to evening hours.  Be careful about the photos and details you provide on your dating website. Don't provide too many identifying details that could compromise your safety. Try exploring dating websites like Match.com, eHarmony, and ChristianMingle.com. Dating apps like PlentyofFish, Bumble, Happn, and OKCupid are also good options. When meeting people in real life, make sure that you meet in public. Happy hours are popular with people in their 30s, since it's something they can do right after work and still get home at a reasonable time. Find out where there are good late afternoon drink specials near you, and try hitting a different place each week. If someone catches your eye, smile at them and consider buying them a drink as an icebreaker. Skip that dance club full of 20-year-olds, or the dive bar near the university. Instead, go to dinner parties, wine tasting events, gallery openings, and other places that are usually populated by people in your approximate age group. Tailor your conversation to the event if you're looking for conversation starters. For example, if you're at a gallery opening, you can talk about artists you like or recent openings you've attended. These days, a lot of single people are in their 30s. There is a good chance that someone in your social group knows somebody who might be a good fit for you. Meeting people face to face, through mutual friends, can be a great way to connect in a low-key way. You could say, "Do you know if Darrell has any single friends? If so, I'd love it if you'd introduce me." Trying something new can be exciting! It can also provide you with opportunities to connect with potential dates who share similar interests. You never know who you might meet! For example, you could check out a yoga or aerobics class at your gym or take an evening painting class at a community college.
