I have have an autistic 4-year-old son who, like many children, hates getting haircuts.

Pear and Nutella Rolls You Can Make Using Three Ingredients [RECIPE]
I was thinking there aren't nearly enough pear flavored treats. Everything is apple or cherry or whatever-berry, but not too many use pear so I took it upon myself to make these. Super easy to make that anyone can make these, too.

Water filters are great. They filter out most of the bad stuff to give you a better, cleaner water. Perfect if you're using tap water or well water. There have been other filters like those life straws where you can drink straight from dirty ponds and such which I'd still be afraid to try. This guy shows off this filter by literally filtering Coca-Cola into water. But, it can't work all that great
