Bubbles and stuff



Want to make your kiddos some AWESOME bubbles?!? Heck, I want them for myself!

Here's the recipe for Guys Bubbles:

5 1/2 cups water
2 cups Ajax orange dish soap
1/2 cup Karo corn syrup

Mix and bottle.

Note: the above measurements fit perfectly in a 64 fluid oz juice container.

Yes, I know it sounds like a lot of bubbles, but bubbles always spill and they are SO MUCH FUN! Right?!?!?  Hopefully this amount can last through the summer.

Also, while perusing through my recipe box(that's where I keep my bubbles recipe - duh!) I found 2 little oddities that I also have stashed in my recipe box, both written on recipe cards.

This one from my Mom -

Just a tiny little minute,
Only 60 seconds in it,
Forced upon me - can't refuse it.
Didn't seek it, didn't choose it.
But its up to me to use it.
Just a tiny little minute,
but Eternity is in it.

AND

This one heard from like the 2nd season of Survivor -

if ifs and buts
were candy and nuts
we'd all have a Merry Christmas!




Oh, this picture if of my two beautiful babes enjoying the homemade all fruit popsicles we made. Mmmm, they were tasty! Should be a good treat it if the weather ever gets warm enough!!!

Baby Back Ribs - the super easy way!

Image
This turned out to be a super easy way to have delicious baby back ribs during the week.  Normally, I would never attempt anything like this during the week because it would usually be a meal that would require that I  drag out the grill to do.  In this cold - getting really old, Wisconsin winter, I do not want to deal with the grill.  That's James' deal, not mine and if we waited till he got home we wouldn't be eating til 9pm!  (that's bedtime, silly!) Carol's Baby Back Ribs  1 rack of baby back ribs, cut into 3-4 rib sections. Salt/Pepper/Paprika BBQ Sauce In your slow cooker (oh, yes...I did forget to mention it uses the trusty SC) spray the sides down with cooking spray.  Place the ribs in the SC and cook on Low 8-10 hours  (high for 5-6).  After the allowed time to cook, take out ribs and place in pan.  Slather with your favorite BBQ sauce and cook in 350 oven for 30 minutes.   Yup! Its that easy...

Favorite things

2 of my recent additions to my favorite things.  First I will tell you about this product I came to know and actually is perfect for the dry skin our winters cause us to have.   SheaMoisture brand products This stuff in particular is what I am using now.  I use it daily as a facial moisturizer. It is sooo thick I store it upside down and have to take the cap off to squeeze any of it out.  It absorbs quickly and it has oats, aloe and Vitamin E in it to calm skin.  It has a pleasant smell...not too perfumey.  I also have a nice Olive and Green Tea body wash that I am using too. I don't think its for African skin only....I was wondering at first and I do think the company does make a lot of products for African skin and hair....though after looking for pictures online to post of this I am beginning to think I am the only white girl using this product!   The website it pretty nice. www.sheamoisture.com  I will need to check...

Stitch Fix. I tried it.

Image
Well I did it, finally.  I ordered my first Stitch Fix.  I have to say I am a bit disappointed and I was so excited and hopeful.  I did end up with a pair of jeans that I surprisingly like.  Length is long like I like and they are a dark wash.  Nice to have another pair to wear. (I have like 10 pairs, I wear one.)   I did tell MY STYLIST that I do not like short pants.  Too short and I will not wear.  She did take that into consideration and I was happy about that!   What I learned - I need to specify NO BLOUSES.  I do not wear them.  Becky told me they (Stitch Fix) likes blouses.  I do not.  Also, while the dress they sent me when I first looked at it was like UGH, but I tried it on and it was actually ok. But, I am not in the market for a dress right now. So it would hang in the closet. Just a note on the pictures.  I am sick with a nasty cold and really don't have...
