Flip flop fan

Josh loves our shoes, Sunday and otherwise but especially flip flops. Tonight at bedtime he found a pair and trotted around the room wearing em's princess flip flops

Freezer Meals

I am on a mission to try stocking my freezer with ready to cook meals all in one big batch.  Having said that I just realized my sink is full of thawing meat.  Gotta run!  Meatballs are calling my name.

Homemade Playdough

I felt happy and domestic today so I whipped up a batch of salt playdough.  My mom was right.  It really dries out your hands.  It looks pretty, smells salty, and Josh would not play with it.  He had some little buddies come over and they like it though.  Sigh!  I want to try cornstarch playdough next.  That stuff is awesome!

If you want to make some salty goodness try this

2 cups flour
2 cups warm water
1 cup salt
1 Tbsp cream of tartar
2 Tbsp oil

Mix all the ingredients together in a pot on low/medium.  Stir until it forms a nice ball-maybe 5-8 minutes.  It is a good forearm workout.  Then mix food coloring gel into the dough balls.  Seal it up in airtight containers, and hopefully your child will want to touch it. We played outside instead.
