    Alice and I had so much fun making Elephant Toothpaste!! SO COOL!!!!!!! Here is what I used: First off….. drink some soda! I forgot this step! You need that 2 liter bottle. Empty and dry. 6% Hydrogen Peroxide. You have to get this at a beauty supply store. I found ours at Sally’s. Dry Active Yeast. I bought a jar so that we can do this a LOT!!Dawn Dish Soap FunnelLiquid food color or liquid water color optional (but soooo pretty!!)Glitter optional (but ohhh soooo cool!!) 1 teaspoon of yeast (if you have packets it’s half of the packet)2 Tablespoons of HOT waterMix until all the yeast is dissolved. It takes a while so be patient and stir stir stir. If your little one is able this would be a good job for them while you get the rest of the items together. Place funnel into your narrow necked bottle and add:1/2 cup 6% hydrogen peroxideColoringGlitter2 squirts of Dawn dish soap I just squirted quickly. I have no real measure.

  • Annie’s Craft Classes, I’m Learning to Crochet!!

    Pink Crochet

    I’m trying to do something that doesn’t involve the computer. Seriously, I live with this laptop on my knees. I need some off-line time! I was thrilled to be given the opportunity to review a class from Annie’s Crafts. With such a great selections of classes to choose from, it was hard to decide! Knitting, crochet, beading, sewing, quilting and even jewelry making!! I finally chose crochet because I didn’t have the patience or time to learn from my Grandma Jones, the queen of crochet, I regretted that now. Turns out Annie’s on-line class is the next best thing!! Perhaps even better, because when I get frustrated I can turn off the computer and come back later and no one has hurt feelings! Talk about a win, WIN situation! Learn to Crochet is taught by Ellen Gormley, from the second Ellen appears on the screen you can tell she has patience and a passion for crochet. Ellen speaks clearly and slow enough to follow along without having to hit pause every 2 minutes!! Ellen starts the class with instructions about selecting your yarn. Turns out this is a really important step. I admit it, I am stubborn and I tend to…

  • Baby Magic!! Soft Cotton and Blooms Review

    Is there anything better than snuggling up with a baby after a bath?  It’s the perfect way to wind down your day.  It’s the start of the bedtime routine.  We love bath time!!  Alice will play in the bathtub until she is a prune and the water is ice cold!!  Since Alice is going to be in the bathtub that long it’s really important that what we use on her skin is GENTLE!!!  We found it with Baby Magic!!  This is a made-in-the-USA product.  Baby Magic has been around forever!!  Since the 1950’s!  Baby Magic never uses harsh chemicals like 1,4-dioxane or quaternium-15 ingredients. Alice is only two and the most important thing we want is a product that is gentle and effective.  I don’t want anything that is going to sting her eyes if she accidentally gets soap in her eyes. I also don’t want anything that dries her skin out.  I demand gentle!!  Then I get greedy, I want something that smells clean.  I want one product that does it all.  I have to admit Baby Magic Hair & Body Wash surprised me a lot!  The wash is super gentle, tear free and the scent…. lily and jasmine…
