It made me think of how they could be made into a fun water wall for my child to play with. So that's what I did! Lincoln helped me create this and he is super proud of it. In fact, he claims HE came up with the idea, so I let him take the credit! :) It was incredibly fun! We tried it with plain … [Read more...]

heart-shaped bath bombs

My kids are huge fans of bath bombs! They would love to have one every time they take a bath. But sadly, they are super expensive! I mean, I can't possibly spend $5 per bath bomb...per child!

After experimenting around, I figured out how to create them! And let me tell you...they are super easy! This post contains … [Read more...]
