This weekend, my home sustained a massive glitter explosion. So, for the past couple of days, every time my kids pad (or maybe trudge) down the hallway, they leave tiny tracks of gold sparkles. My home is, well, glittery -- even after vacuuming multiple times and washing the floor Cinderella-style. Baby K was the culprit… Continue reading Wild Orange Fairy Dough
Since we're still on our summer "holiday" visiting family back east, most of the time I'm responsible for only one of my two children. Right now, for example, miss R is playing a game with her MiMi while I sit in the sun room watching, listening to and smelling the torrential rain just outside the… Continue reading Tissue Paper Tape Resist Painting

I'm usually an upbeat, fast-paced and positive person, so my tolerance for my own orneriness is… Continue reading A Day of Cloudy Heads and 3-Ingredient Fluff Slime
My, oh my! It's been a minute since I last posted, right? I blame it on Hawaii. Much like Moana, I am called by the water -- and I might not be totally readjusted to desert life yet. Hawaii, as always, was pure magic. I'll try to share our adventures soon -- including my now… Continue reading Lavender Chill-Out Play Doh
