We’ve made bubble solution before, but since there was a giant bubble wand in the girl’s summer fun kit we needed a lot more solution, stat. I found this recipe at Happy Hooligans, and another at Frugal Fun 4 Boys, which was even easier so that’s the one we went with. It has exactly three […]
A Fun Find for Summer: Chalk Paint Markers
One of the things in my summer tub for the girl was a set of Rose Art Sidewalk Chalk Paint Markers. I found them at JoAnn but I assume they are other places that sell sidewalk chalk as well. They come in standard colors of red, yellow, blue and green as well as neon colors. […]
Inspiration from the Farmers’ Market

Get Ready for the Break with a Summer Activity Box
I’ll admit this one isn’t all that crafty, but my daughter has exactly two more days of school before summer break. And while I’m super excited about all the time we’re going to get to spend together over the summer — at least six of the next 12 weeks — I also have to get […]
