Too Much

By
We are blessed in so many ways, and right now... we have way TOO MUCH stuff! So, as part of our new year and return home.... We are opting for a bag/box a day challenge.  Each day, we are removing a large bag or box full of things from our home that we no longer use and/or need. Hopefully, we will be able to keep it up through the month of February!

So, if you are local and are looking for anything, please don't hesitate to let us know! I am posting quite frequently on Yooper Yardsale (Yahoo Group) and Yooper Rummage Sales (on Facebook). Dane is hoping to purge and sell enough stuff to convince us to pitch in with him for an ipad.

I just hope to make our space less cluttered!

You can follow some of our purges here: Dane's Online Yardsale. We will be posting items for local sale daily as it is way too cold and snowy for a traditional yard sale!

Are you up for a de-cluttering challenge? I'd love to hear your organization and purging tips!

With my 1 year old son's recent birthday and Christmas, he's accumulated MORE toys (and clothes) thanks to two very lovely grammies. :) I've told my husband that everytime he gets a new toy, 3 have to go. I'm hoping this "rule" will stick and it will carry thru even when he is older. I like your purging idea, too. I thought of making a list of all the rooms, closets, etc in our home and maybe going thru those areas to purge. Hoping to make it a daily activity. :) Thanks for the inspiration!!

What Would You Do With It? Wednesday #4, Cardboard Tubes (Toilet Paper, Paper Towel, etc)

By
Welcome to this week's edition of What Would You Do With It? Wednesday. This week's item(s) are paper tubes. You most often find them at the end of a roll of toilet paper or paper toweling. I'm having trouble hunting up the photos I was going to post for this, so when I find them, I will add them. We have made: rain sticks kaleidoscopes marble runs and we have also cut the tubes and made them into flowers or snowflakes like these. If you would like to visit and link to some of our previous What Would You Do With It Wednesdays, please click here.

Making Moon Mud!

By
We usually make our moon sand with cornstarch , sand, and baby oil. However a blog reader commented that when they make their moon sand- they use water instead of oil.  So, of course, my first thought was- why make moon sand when you could make MOON MUD?  And so you have it- our homemade moon mud! Basically, it ends up being a sandy- runny oobleck! It acts kind of like a solid- and kind of like a liquid..... Now, I'm sure I will get all kinds of questions on the exact recipe and proportions to make this stuff.....  The truth is, we rarely measure. We just mix it up until it looks and feels about right! Today, we made ours with too much water. (It was an experiment.) So, we removed some off the top.  After we were done playing in the mud- we let it sit. A little bit more of the water evaporated while we napped.... Then, this afternoon- It was perfect! Hard as a rock on the bottom, until you dig into grab it... Then....
