Home Made Bath Crayons...

I figured that I would post a tutorial here because I've been doing all kinds of fun shit.  Sewing mostly, but my 6 year old wanted some bath crayons and we had all the stuff here.

First we took a plain bar of ivory soap and grated it up.

Then we added about a half a cup of hot water.

My six year old didn't want to get his hands "icky" so I tried to stir with a spoon but it didn't work very well so I had to knead it with my hands.

His favorite color of the day is orange, so we added a few drops of red food coloring and a few drops of yellow.  I mixed it again and got it ready to put in the muffin tin.



It made about 6 muffin tin shaped crayons because we couldn't find the cookie cutters and frankly, I didn't give a crap what shape they were since they'll end up all over my shower walls anyway.

The instructional that I have says that it takes 2 days to dry, but I have them on my patio that's about 106 degrees right now so I'm pretty sure they'll be dry by tomorrow.  I'll let you guys know how it worked out and post some pics of the boys playing with them!  If they're that easy to make and use, I'm sure I'll make more soon in other colors.

Until next time...

I realized I never updated this post! The orange didn't show up great on our yellow tile, but did on the bathtub :) We made blue and purple the next time and tried to hand shape them like crayons. It did not turn out well and they ended up looking quite a bit like turds, so uh, I didn't take any pictures of them LOL! The next theme we did any knd of color fun in the bath I let them paint with colored shaving foam.

Mamatography 2014, Week two...

Image
Ok, I lied, the posts are going to come every Sunday.  I really did mean to do it yesterday, but Maxwell had his little birthday party yesterday and I just plain don't feel well.  You can read my middle of the night post  for an explanation on that! So here goes, my week in pictures :) Memphis accidentally bit me so I had a bleeding cut on my nipple. I absolutely HATE to pump, but if was kind of forced into it, because it just hurt too damn much to have him nurse from that side for the first day or two. He decided that he needed to pump himself as well, so not only did I catch a little video of it that I might upload to YouTube, I got a few pics too! This is my oldest son Morgen, we were having our morning coffee, and he's texting his fiancé Angie.  Incidentally, Morgen means morning in German and that's how he got his name. He was going to be Camilla, but he had a penis and I needed a boy name in a hurry and since he was born in the morning, wel...

I wanted to participate in this last year, but I never worked up the nerve...so I got brave, and here it is for this year.  MAMATOGRAPHY!!!  I will be sharing a picture for each day of this year, sharing just a little bit more than I already do with you readers ;)  I realize I'm a little late, and that this is only 7 pics for 12 days, but I'm very committed to this particular project, so plan on seeing these posts every week! Memphis has a Cozy Coupe, he has been in it every day of the year so far! Memphis and I spend an awful lot of time just like this 💜 This is my dog Bear. She's pretty sure she is a lap dog. As you can see, she does not fit well... Jynx discovered she can sit on top of the room divider, and has been up there more than she should be, by A LOT! I know this isn't a photo, but this is one of Phizzy's drawings from his favorite app that he's able to draw on.  This app is called drawp and he LOVES it! ...

Confessions of a "Latch Key Kid"...

Welcome to the Taboo Carnival . Our topic this Summer is “My Parents Failed Me (A Little or a Lot)” This post was written for inclusion in the quarterly Taboo Carnival hosted by Momma Jorje and Hybrid Rasta Mama . This month our participants reflect on the parenting failures of their own parents or in themselves. Please read to the end to find a list of links to the other carnival participants. ******************************* I'm not even sure how many people will understand that title.  When I was a kid, a "latch key kid" was a kid who got home before their parents.  I honestly don't know the origin, and where as I could google it and give you the root origin of the slang term, that's not why I'm writing this.  No, today folks, I'm not going to talk about any products, or stuff I've made.  I'm probably not even going to mention my boobs more than a few times, but I'm betting they'll factor in too, because in truth, I harbor s...
