DIY $7 Indian Costume Tutorial

So some of you are frequent visitors here and know that I orginally started my blog over at Marvelous Modern Mamma but after having my second son, maturing a bit and learning how to actually design a blog I decided to scrap the old one and start anew! If you hop over to the old one you'll quickly understand how much I've changed, design wise, in the last few years and why it was easier just to cut my loses and start fresh. BUT I couldn't leave this tutorial behind! I get compliments on this tutorial all the time! With hundreds of pins and over 12k views, this is one of my most loved tutorial!

DIY Crab Apple Jelly Recipe

It's finally fall, y'all! This time of year makes my soul sing, don't you try to tell me I'm alone! I love everything there is about fall time, the colors, scents, the changing of the weather, babies crunching leaves and the unlimited amounts of deserts!

Crab apple jelly has always been a favorite of mine, but I haven't had any in years. My soul was indeed, sad. This year I decided enough was enough and went and picked the only crab apple tree there is in town and we made out with a pretty good bunch! After letting the boys visit their grandparents, we went home so I could get to work! Heavens knows it couldn't wait another day! (Side note, it was 9 pm!) After many requests to release my recipe, I've decided to make a tutorial! Most people shy away from making their own jellies and jams nowadays for store bought ones because they think it's an overly difficult process, but it's really not! Plus you know exactly what goes in them and gives such satisfaction and pride to see someone drooling over your delicious creation! Let's get started, shall we?

DIY Flubber! Just as much fun as the movie, just not alive.

Do you remember being a kid with nothing to do? It was horrible! So when I saw that turmoil in my two and a half year old, I knew this mama had to get creative fast. A few weeks ago we got attacked by a lightening storm that left us without any TV or fun electronics, which even though I limit screen time, it was much quieter than normal! So I started thinking back to fifth grade art class, we had a quirky lady who loved all things creative and showed me how to make this nearly indestructible goo, which by the way, is all little boy's best friend! Now that I'm an adult, it's almost therapeutic! Are you ready to get dirty?!
[Pro tip: measure out all the ingredients before hand, this stuff gels up pretty quickly]

The Blob!

Here in the south Mother Nature seems to have PMS often. One day it's freezing, the next it could be almost 100 degrees (or over) so we have to find ways to accommodate for the ever changing weather! After all, toddlers don't like to be pinned up indoors for long! So after the bad lightening storms we've been having recently I devised a plan to keep the baby's outdoors and cool!
So, we made The Blob!
