Does anyone still use rubbing alcohol for first aid? I remember my mom used to use it on us sometimes when we were little and holy cow that stuff burned! I can’t even imagine trying to clean my kids wounds with it. I’m pretty sure they’d freak out! I found an old bottle of rubbing alcohol in my cupboard that was 70% isopropyl alcohol and I tried using it for this project – but it didn’t work....
If you make it on the stove top, did you know that popcorn actually has health benefits and can even be considered healthy? This nutrition article says that popcorn has more iron than a serving of eggs, or even roast beef and about 3/4 the amount of protein as a serving of meat. Another article claims that popcorn has more antioxidants than fruits and vegetables! It packs a pretty good punch for a snack food, don’t you think?...

I came across several mini felt crown head bands and hair bands on Pinterest, but she would take those off in about 30 seconds. At least a barrette will stay put all day long (and it even lasted through her nap!). I had to throw it together quickly before the girls woke up from their naps, and I had no idea if it was going to work, but I actually think it turned out really cute!...
It was also one of those crafts where I got to feel a little like a crazy person. Melting plastic is kind of smelly. And I’m not an expert, but I think those plastic gases that come out when the beads melt are probably not very good for your health. So just to be safe, I took our toaster oven outside onto the front porch and melted the beads where I knew we’d be safe from the plastic vapors....

And my 6 year old will look at me, raise her eyebrow, and in a negative tone be like, “Ummm, can I just stay home?” Ha! Do you remember that show on MTV from the early 1990’s called Daria? That’s what it reminds me of. I was going somewhere with this. Oh right! Paint chips! My kids are still little enough that I can usually entice them by replying, “Oh, come on....

The other night at dinner my 8 year old daughter asked, “Mommy, are we going to celebrate Valentine’s Day?”. For some reason I didn’t know how to respond to that question?? What I was thinking was, “Sweetheart, we just finished Christmas, and you still have a big bag of Halloween candy on the top shelf in the closet, so NO, I AM NOT going to buy you a box of chocolates for Valentine’s Day”....
Generally speaking, the best yarn for crochet will depend on the project. For instance, the yarn you use for a plush hat might not be the best for something sturdier like a coaster. Factors like weight, fiber type, and texture all impact the finished product. If you’re already feeling overwhelmed, don’t worry. We remember what it’s like to be a crocheting newbie! That’s why we’ve created this guide for beginners to cover the basics of yarn to help you get the ball rolling (pun intended)....
You can scroll on down to see my (terrible) painted Easter eggs. Apparently it’s harder than it looks to paint intricate simple patterns onto eggs. What can I say? I am definitely not an artist when it comes to painting! I kept getting more frustrated with my lack of painting skills with each egg I painted. LOL This is the last in our series of Easter craft posts for the year!...
