Fingerpaint Recipes


fingerpaint, how to make fingerpaint, homemade fingerpaint

Fingerpaint is real quick and easy to make. Here are a few tried, tested and perfected fun paint recipes that we’ve collected over the years. Finger-painting is a great activity if you do not mind to get your hands a little dirty.
These paints are great to capture little hand and foot prints or to create everyday works of art and crafts without the fuss of washing paintbrushes. Simply rinse paint from hands under running water with soap. Some of these recipes are so yum-delicious you won’t mind sticking your fingers in your mouth!
What’s great about homemade fingerpaint? It is 100% safe, all natural ingredients. You do not have to worry when it ends up in the mouth!

My mornings I spend surrounded...


The Girl's New Bed


This is a link to my families weekly planner for cleaning house and my 5 year olds chores.




I have been doing this system for 3 weeks now.  I like waking up and knowing what to get done so that I have things in order.  I have been slacking in dusting my blinds and my fridge.  This has helped me start to make sense of what to do every week/day.  Maybe it will help you.  Every morning we have tried to have Megan my 5 year old make her bed and get dressed first thing in the morning everyday (or at least before she watches cartoons).  Then she has a special chore she does.  It really does help me out.  I realize not every 5 year old does the toilets.  She loves the idea of doing them and has for a year now.  We put it on her chart, I do all the chemicals.  Funny isn't it?

Snow Days

So I thought I would be the "good mom" and take my kids sledding. We had our Cousin Lucy over the night before so we got everyone dressed from head to toe in winter gear.  I get the girls there and they are excited.  Lucy was a little nervous.  They both go down at least once and they are frozen.
They wan'ted to go to Artic Circle.




Come to find out it was only 8 degrees in Eagle Mountain, where we were sledding.
