Oh yeah, I have a blog!

I apologize once again for my absence here.

Life has been crazy, great things are happening.

Good questions are being asked, and real life has seriously kept me out of the virtual world.

There are really only so many hours in a day.

So, with that..... I want you to know that I'm not disappearing forever, but you probably won't see much of me around the blogosphere.... However, you may start to see some new posts from my wonderful husband and business partner, Mr. Allan. In addition to a few posts here and there from our assistants! AND... don't forget, we have archives and a wonderful blog list for you to check out!

I've been writing a zillion blog posts in my mind when I'm on the road... So when the time comes, I'll have oodles of new things to share with you! Until then, <3 .="." nbsp="nbsp" p="p">

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

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!

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....
