BIG Bubbles

Last weekend while Honey was out golfing, we braved the dreadfully humid day to relish in some BIG bubble fun!  We toted our BIG bucket (used for everything from transporting gear to icing beer) out to the yard and mixed up a bubble solution to use with the wands I picked up in the dollar bin a few weeks back.

Here’s how:
1 part liquid dish soap (I used Palmolive only because it’s what I had on hand.)
1/4 part light corn syrup
8 parts water

We mixed up the above recipe with 1 cup of the dish soap (and the resulting 1/4 c corn syrup and 8 c water) and it was plenty for an entire weekend worth of bubble fun.  The mix, costing just pennies to make, SURE beats the pricey stuff at the store that tends to stain our clothes before it inevitably gets dumped out on the ground.

Oh, and yes, we did all of this half dressed in our jammies.  All of us.  Thank goodness Honey didn’t play the nine behind our house that morning…

With our sommelier… Read More

Atelier Antlers

With the big basement re-do behind us, I have been enthusiastically pulling out some of the lovelies I’ve collected over the last eight months to find them a more suitable home than the bowels of my closet.  The first things out and up were my Suzanne Kasler (Suzanne was our girl name and it still… Read More

Hi Cookie, I’m Mommy

Until last week, I had ridiculously little time one on one with my sweet, fat, happy baby Whit (aka Cookie.) He’s three years younger than John (aka Precious Cutie Pie, aka PCP) and spent the first two and three-quarter years of his precious life being carted around to the PCP’s events, activities, parties and play… Read More
