Rub sesame, coconut, or olive oil on baby’s scalp and leave for a few hours. Shampoo off with a mild baby shampoo or diluted Castile soap. Scratch the scalp with your fingers or use a baby comb to remove the softened flakes as you shampoo. Repeat as needed.
Another simple treatment is to fill a small sock or muslin tea bag with a handful of oats. Close tightly with a rubber band and run the sock under water until damp. Rub over baby’s scalp until the oats are milky and make a slight lather. This helps soften the cradle cap which can then be brushed out with a fine-toothed comb. (This idea comes from Naturally Healthy Babies and Children by Aviva Jill Romm, which I highly recommend.)

Plastic Bottle Treat Toy: Oh the ubiquitous empty plastic water bottle. I know you’ve got some lying around waiting to be recycled. Before you dump them in the recycling bin, let your dog have a go at them. Put a few treats in a 16-ounce or larger size bottle, cap it, then toss it for your dog. He’ll chomp on it, bat it around, and do anything he can to get those treats out. Supervise your dog when he plays with this to prevent choking. Discard the bottle cap as soon as he gets it out.Take the bottle from him when he gets the treats out to prevent any injuries from splinters.

Upcycled Vintage Sanyo TV Pet Bed
If you have a large dog, then an old computer monitor probably won't serve as a dog bed. Sara Alleman does, so she used an old television set that she found for free on Craigslist. It looks like a simple refinishing project -- unless you want your dog bed to be cable ready.Link -via cecilia

Coffee Pot Aquarium by Mosby Building Arts
Coffee Pot Aquarium by Mosby Building Arts
Aquarium – Have an old coffee pot that’s not working? Don’t throw away the carafe – use it as an aquarium for your beta fish (they can survive for extended periods of time in small tanks). This is an especially quaint trick for the kitchen or your child’s bedroom (fish make great first pets for little ones). Fill the bottom with small rocks or some glass beads.
