Children are worth it!

WELCOME! I hope you enjoy sharing in the joy, frustrations and huge learning curve that I am experiencing as a mother. Through the 9 years of being a mom, I have appreciated those who not only listened, but also have helped by offering encouraging words and ideas. Because of past help I have recieved, I decided to pass on ideas at least once a week and hopefully get some more from YOU! If you know of other parents who would appreciate this-please share it with them. Let's enjoy the journey.

Best Play-dough Recipe

Play-dough

This is best play-dough recipe I have ever tried. Thanks to Rebecca, my daughters flute teacher for the recipe. I made some dough up three weeks ago and put it in Tupperware containers and the girls got it out yesterday to play with and it's still soft and workable. It beats running to the store for the store made and paying three times as much!
My kids love to pretend their making cookies with the dough, so we get out the rolling pins, cookie cutters, and pans and roll out some cookies. It's great for their eye hand coordination. Especially if you get some scissors out and have them practice cutting the dough!

Homemade Playdough
4 Cups Flour
2 TB Cream of Tartar
3/4 Cup Salt
3 Cup Boiling Water
2 TB Oil
Combine Dry Ingredients. Mix well. Combine Oil and Water. Add to Dry ingredients. Mix
