4 Holiday DIY Crafts to Create with the Little Ones

4 Holiday DIY Crafts to Create with the Little Ones!

12/09/2020

Christmas is all about spending time with family and friends and making fun memories that will last a lifetime. This rings especially true when it comes to children. During this time of year, you may be thinking what fun it would be to make snow angels and go sledding, but we haven't gotten snow yet. So some indoor activities may be the best option for now until we see that first snow fall. Rather than sitting the kids down in front of a holiday movie, make lasting memories with DIY Christmas crafts the little ones will love! Here are a few DIY craft ideas you can start working on today!

1. Santa Advent Calendar
The kids will love helping Santa’s beard grow with fluffy cotton balls. By the 25th he will have the full monty! Here's what you'll need:

Photo Credit: CountryLiving.com
Construction paper
Glue
Cotton balls

To make:

1. Cut Santa’s face from white craft paper. Add texture with colored pencil. Cut pink cheeks, eyes, and nose from construction paper; glue to the face.

2. Cut the hat from red and white craft paper; glue to the face. Cut a long beard shape from white craft paper. Glue a large cotton ball at the point of the hat.

3. Write the dates of the month leading up to Christmas on the beard. Hang the calendar and set a bowl of cotton balls and a bottle of glue nearby.

2. Sparkly Snowflake Ornament Craft

There's nothing wrong with making snowflakes by cutting holes in paper, but we think these are just a little more jazzy. Your kids will love deciding which colors to use and, of course, bedazzling each flake. Here are the supplies you’ll need to make your own Popsicle Stick Snowflake Ornaments:

Photo Credit: TheBestIdeasForKids.com

Popsicle Sticks (we used colored ones but plain would work too, you would just need to paint them)
Tacky Glue
Hot Glue Sticks and Hot Glue
Christmas Bells
Glitter Stickers
Silver Glitter
Tinsel Pom Poms and/or craft foam balls
Fabric Snowflakes
Twine for hanging

To make:

1. First you need to paint your Popsicle Sticks if you don’t already have colored sticks.

2. Next you need to hot glue your popsicle sticks together. Forming the shape of the snowflake, put a small bit of hot glue in between each popsicle stick. Once done, add a bit of hot glue to the back and add your twine for hanging. Adults should do this part.

3. Now is the fun part! Time to decorate!

3. Paper Plate Christmas Tree Craft

You'll soon find that you can make almost anything with paper plates. Just cut one into thirds and layer on top of one another. For the ornaments and garlands, use pom-poms and ribbons. Here's what you'll need:

Photo Credit: IHeartCraftyThings.com

Paper plate
Green acrylic paint
Paint brush
Scissors
Hole punch
Rribbon or yarn
Tape
Stapler
Brown cardstock paper or brown foam sheet
Star foam sticker
Sequins, small poms or embellishments
Glue

To make:

1. Start by painting your paper plate green. Let it dry completely. When your paper plate is dry, cut it into thirds, then cut one of the section a bit smaller. When you layer them together with the smallest one on top, you have a Christmas Tree shape.

2. Use your hole punch to punch six (6) holes across the bottom of each paper plate section. Cut a 12-inch section of ribbon for each paper plate section and lace them through the holes. Start by bringing the ribbon up from the back of the paper plate into the first hole and then continue through the holes, finishing with the excess ribbon hanging off the back of the paper plate. Tape the excess pieces of ribbon to the back of the paper plate to hold them in place. When you are finished lacing all your pieces, use a stapler to staple them together into your Christmas tree.

3. Finish you paper plate Christmas tree craft by stapling (or gluing) on a brown tree stump cut out from your brown paper and adding a foam star sticker at the top. Glue on any sequin or embellishments that you would like to decorate your paper plate Christmas Tree craft. Such a beautiful piece of artwork to display for the holiday!

4. Grinch Slime Craft

Slime is popular for its versatility, and the fact that it's extremely fun to play with! That's why your kids will enjoy mixing up a batch of Grinch-inspired slime—with a red heart to boot. Here's the ingredients you'll need:

Photo Credit: IHeartArtsNCrafts.com
1/2 Cup of Elmer’s Clear Glue
1/2 Cup of Liquid Starch
1/2 Cup of Water
Measuring Cup
Bowls and a spoon
Green food coloring
Green Glitter (LOTS!)
Red Heart Charm
Small bowl

To make:

1. In a bowl mix 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup of glue (make sure to really mix to combine completely). Next you can add in a drop of green food coloring. After you have your color mixed in, you can add in your green glitter to this step.

2. Then you’ll pour in 1/2 cup of liquid starch. You will see the slime immediately start to form and start sticking to your fork. Once it starts completely sticking, then switch to mixing with your hands for a few minutes until you feel the majority of the liquid incorporated into the slime.

We hope that you and your little ones will enjoy making memories while making these super fun festive DIY craft projects! Remember, that the key to great DIY craft projects is to have great quality water!

Is There Too Much Iron In Your Well Water?

11/18/2020

For homeowners whose water source comes from a well, there are some advantages, disadvantages, and ways in which you can ensure healthy drinking water from your well source. With the potential for contaminants to enter your well water more easily than from a municipal source, it's important to know about potential contaminants and how to protect your family from them. One of the most common water treatment problems found in well water is iron. So, this week, we're talking about iron in your well water.

While a trace amount of iron in your water isn't dangerous to your health, without the right water treatment, iron can lead to a metallic taste in food and drink. It can also cause issues with plumbing. If a home’s water is filled with iron, it may lead to plumbing issues. Excessive iron can leave behind a residue, which can then build up and cause clogging. When this occurs, homeowners may experience reduced water pressure or slow draining.

Not considered hazardous to health, but when the level of iron in water exceeds the DNR 0.3 mg/l limit, we experience red, brown, or yellow staining of laundry, glassware, dishes and other household items. Iron can be found in 3 different forms.

Ferrous iron (dissolved) — Although not visible, it is the most common type of iron. Later when oxygen is mixed with ferrous iron it stains sinks, toilets and laundry especially when bleach is added. To reduce levels of ferrous iron, softening and or filtration is performed.

Ferric Iron (suspended) — Ferric iron or brown water iron is oxidized and forms particles. Once these particles settle down, they can normally be seen in a glass of water. Sometimes these particles are too small to be seen and are very difficult to remove.

Iron bacteria — Iron bacteria is a general term given to iron that can leave a slimy growth or build up in toilet tanks and sometimes clogs filters, softeners and pipes. These bacteria are not harmful, but are considered a nuisance bacteria because of their difficulty in removing.

Lindyspring Sanitizer

Ideal for homeowners who use well water.

The sanitizer water conditioning system is recognized for its unique ability to kill and remove iron and sulfur bacteria - a naturally-occurring bacteria that can incubate and grow in water softener beds and other water appliances. Most homeowners experience this problem as red or black slime and stains on plumbing fixtures, and foul smells when operating a tap.

The system safely creates chlorine from the softener's brine solution. The dissolved chlorine then sanitizes the media bed with each regeneration of the system. An exclusive crystalline media acts as a superior filter and softener that removes iron, manganese and hardness - while raising pH to acceptable level and securing chlorine for continued media sanitizing.

Contact Lindyspring Lake of the Ozarks Today!

Not sure if the Lindyspring Sanitizer is what you need for your home's water treatment at Lake of the Ozarks? Lindyspring Systems offers a wide array of products and solutions to fit every water treatment need. We can schedule a time to come out to test your water and determine what is needed to treat your specific water needs. We sell and lease residential and commercial water treatment systems at Lake of the Ozarks. Any type of water problem can be taken care of by us. We also deliver to your home or business 40 lb. bags of coarse solar salt and 40 lb. bags of potassium chloride. Do you want to learn more about the water services we provide?

benefits of a water softener

Is Your Laundry Truly Getting Clean?

11/10/2020

If you've ever questioned whether the clothes coming out of your washer are actually clean, you're not alone. Laundry issues such as stiff towels or yellowing or greying clothing are not uncommon, and are likely caused by hard water. Fortunately, this is a water issue that can easily be rectified. In this week's blog, Lindyspring Lake of the Ozarks is sharing with you some information on how hard water affects the cleanliness and life of your clothing, and how a water softening or conditioning system can help.

Laundry & Hard Water Doesn't Mix
To understand why hard water is so tough on clothing, you first need to know that hard water contains dissolved compounds of calcium and magnesium. These minerals don't mix well with laundry detergents. The harder the water, the tougher it is on your laundry.

Hard water prevents water from mixing with detergent to form an effective cleaning agent. So, basically the calcium mineral bonds with the soap to create a curd that sticks to fibers and draws in more dirt, leaving your clothes dirtier than before you washed them. Over time, the residue can cause your clothing to turn a greyish or yellowish color, and make them feel stiff and crusty.

Studies have shown that clothing washed in hard water wear out 15% faster than clothing washed in soft water. However, rather than fixing the true issue at hand, most homeowners resort to using more detergent and hotter water, resulting in added expenses. This doesn't really fix the problem, and ultimately, you end up having to replace damaged clothing more often.

Fixing the Problem with Soft Water
If you suspect that you have hard water, you can do a simple DIY test to determine whether you have hard or soft water. While this test will be a great indicator of hard water, it will not tell you the hardness of your water. You'll need to have a professional test the exact hardness of your water. Follow these steps to put your water to the test.

1. Fill a Clear Container with Water
Fill your container about a third of the way to the top with water from your faucet. For our test, we have both hard water and soft water so you can see the difference in the end.

2. Squeeze in Some Pure Liquid Soap
Next, squirt about 10 drops of soap into your container. Pure liquid soap is best. Don’t use soap labeled as detergent because it is formulated with additives that will skew results of the test.

3. Shake Vigorously!
Shake your container for at least 10 seconds to mix up the soap and water in an attempt to make soapy bubbles. Don’t forget to put the cap on first!

4. Look for Suds and Water Clarity
If your container has a good amount of suds at the top, and the water underneath the bubbles becomes nice and clear, then you likely have soft water. However, if you don’t get many suds after shaking, and your water looks cloudy, that is a good indication you have hard water.

Once you've determined that you have hard water, and have contacted a professional water treatment company to test the hardness of your water, you can start looking at your options.

Water Softener & Conditioning
At Lindyspring Lake of the Ozarks, we have options that can help battle your hard water problems.

Water Softeners - LCR Series II
An Advanced Water Conditioning System that Can Be Tailored to Fit Your Needs and Water Conditions

The LCR Series II water softener removes unwanted hardness or minerals from your household water - whether from municipal sources or private wells. Used alone or in combination with Lindyspring filters and neutralizers, this system can meet the most challenging water problems existing today. Our water softeners come in different sizes to conform to anything from a condo which is a mini sized unit all the way up to the large units.

Lindyspring Impression Series RC Conditioners
A Single System Used to Effectively Treat Municipal Water

Removes hardness
Removes chlorine and associated odors
Softens household water using minimal salt and water

Whether you have municipal water that is hard or chlorinated, Impression Series®RC water conditioners deliver the clear, soft, odor-free water you want and need.

The activated carbon removes chlorine and other unwanted tastes while the high capacity resin is used for the maximum in softening capabilities.

Getting a water softener at the Lake of the Ozarks can help you save money and preserve your clothing, home appliances and plumbing. Don't wait until your hard water problems get worse, it's time to make a call. Contact Lindyspring Systems, the best water treatment company at the Lake of the Ozarks, to get your water source tested. Not only can we test your water, but we can also recommend and install the best water treatment system to match your specific water needs. Give us a call at 573-348-5044!

5 Reasons to Drink More Water

11/04/2020

As a health-conscious person, you may be looking for more natural ways to control your health and overall well-being. We all know that drinking water is an important factor in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. But do you know the reasons why water is so important? Drinking water can aid in a number of ways to improve your overall health, and target specific health concerns, such as weight control and keeping a youthful appearance. So, this week, we at Lindyspring Lake of the Ozarks are sharing with you 5 reasons you should be drinking more water.

1. Aids in Digestion
Water is essential for good health. Drinking water during or after a meal actually aids digestion.Water and other liquids help break down food so that your body can absorb the nutrients. It keeps the food you eat moving along through your intestines and it keeps your intestines smooth and flexible, too. Water also softens stool, which helps prevent constipation.

2. Calorie Control
Drinking water could help reduce your overall liquid calorie intake. Because water contains no calories, filling your glass with H2O instead of higher calorie alternatives such as juice, soda, or sweetened tea or coffee can reduce your overall liquid calorie intake. Drinking water increases the amount of calories you burn, which is known as resting energy expenditure. These results may be even more impressive when the water is cold. When you drink cold water, your body uses extra calories to warm the water up to body temperature.

3. Natural Energy
Staying hydrated helps maintain our energy levels by keeping muscles energized. Plus, dehydration can manifest as fatigue or low energy, so staying hydrated will help prevent that. Even mild dehydration can affect your mood, energy level and ability to think clearly.

4. Improves Mood
Every system in the human body counts on water to function, and the brain is no exception. In fact, about 75 percent of brain tissue is water. Research has linked dehydration to depression and anxiety, because mental health is driven primarily by your brain’s activity. In other words, dehydration causes brain functioning to slow down and not function properly. It is important to think of water as a nutrient your brain needs.

5. Youthful Skin
Drinking at least 8 glasses a day will help rid the body and skin of toxins. When you drink enough water, the cells in every part of your body get hydrated through the blood. The skin, being the largest organ in the body, also gets hydrated, even as the impurities and toxins get flushed out at the cellular level. This helps to improve skin tone, prevent premature aging, helps reduce puffiness, prevents acne, and more!

Call Lindyspring Lake of the Ozarks Today!
So, if you're looking for the health benefits of drinking more water, you've got 5 solid reasons to start increasing your intake today! To ensure the water entering your home is top quality and safe to drink, let Lindyspring Systems come out and test your water supply. We can determine if water treatment is needed for your water supply at the Lake of the Ozarks and what system will best suit your needs.

common problems associated with hard water

Does Your Home Need a Water Softener?

10/14/2020

Here at the Lake of the Ozarks, we struggle with hard water. The signs show up visibly on your faucets, can shorten the lifetime of your clothing and appliances, and can cause you to spend way too much time on household chores and maintenance. A water softening system can enhance the life of your clothes, appliances, and plumbing. In fact, a water softening system can help you to avoid several problems associated with hard water in the home. Plus, it can help you to save thousands of dollars that you would have had to spend on repairing or replacing items. Keep reading to see if you need a residential water softener.

Appliances and Dishes are Affected
The buildup of limescale around the valves of your dishwasher and washing machine can prevent them from closing properly, resulting in water leakage. This will eventually reduce the lifespan of these expensive appliances. Mineral deposits from hard water can stain your dishes, glasses, and cutlery, and washing may not remove them even after drying. Repeated washing with hard water can even affect your home’s windows.

Stains are Visible on Bathtubs, Sinks, and Faucets

Mineral residue on faucets, bathtubs, and sinks indicates that you are getting hard water. When tap water evaporates, it leaves behind magnesium and calcium stains in your bathroom and kitchen. You can use a little vinegar or a mixture of detergent powder and bleach to get rid of such stains. A potassium chloride water softener also provides an effective way of removing the stains.

Plumbing Repairs Become Necessary More Often
Hard water can clog your water pipes due to the buildup of limescale. As the flow of water in your pipes becomes increasingly restricted, the buildup of limescale occurs at a faster rate. Over a period of time, hard water will reduce the flow of water in your plumbing, and this can require costly repairs.

Hair and Skin are Dry and Itchy
Hard water dries your skin instead of nourishing it, making it dry and leathery. Extra magnesium and calcium in your tap water make your hair and skin dry. Shampoo, soap, and moisturizers can only prevent this to a certain extent. Minerals that are present in hard water are deposited on your skin, and since soap does not dissolve properly in hard water, it is unable to wash them away. Hard water can block pores, causing blackheads and inflammation.

Clothes and Linens Become Faded, Dull, and Rough
Washing your bed linen and clothes with hard water can make them dull, gray and rough. The minerals in the water can also give them a scratchy feel after a wash. You can reduce this effect to some extent by using a liquid water softening detergent. However, the effectiveness of washing powders meant to deal with hard water may be limited. Replacing your clothes and linen more frequently can cost a lot of money, so it makes sense to use a water softening system to improve the quality of the water.

Now that you know just a few of the signs to look for, does your home need a water softener? Getting a water softener at the Lake of the Ozarks can help you save money and preserve your home appliances and plumbing.
