The End of Summer

Today marks the end of the second week that our school aged friends returned and/or started school. It also marks the last day for our friends who are starting Head Start next week. It has been a time of big changes and transitions for us. The summer was a whirlwind of fun, learning, and memorable adventures.



I'm sure many of you noticed that I opted to take most of the summer off. It was a nice, much needed break. In general- juggling a home based business, homeschooling, and family can be a bit challenging at times. I have often had people ask me exactly how I manage to do it all- and the truth is, sometimes you just have to let one or two things go in order to make the other things happen. This summer, I opted to let technology go. My presence on the blog and social media were quite minimal. I needed to stop juggling and doing- and to just be.

Now that life is again changing, I hope to get into a regular blogging routine. I've missed sharing our adventures and connecting with all of you. We had an AMAZING summer, so anticipate seeing a wonderful mix of new posts that contain both new/current happenings as well as a few posts mixed in from our summertime fun!


Thanks for sticking with us through the lull- and I hope to hear from you either on the blog, or feel free to stop by Facebook and share what you are up to on our page as well!

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....
