Our Time at the El Capitan Theatre!

I'm so 2008-late on this post, but I have to tell you guys about our wonderful time at the El Capital theatre! Despite living in L.A. for the past decade-plus, I've never been to the theatre! When a few of my girlfriends offered the opportunity to go, I said why not? We were going to see the Haunted Mansion (great movie, btw, and the movie did the ride a lot

So, we made a Black History Month door. It was awesome.

Bear had a voluntary school project in creating a Black History door. Normally, he and his class would create one at school but since we're still under Trump's pandemic, we're at home creating one. After going back and forth about who the door should be on - and we had a lot of choices - Bear decided on Vice President Kamala Harris. I picked up a special edition magazine

Cheap (and possibly FREE!) Magic Mud

Sometimes I buy cornstarch and wonder why would I need all of this? It's usually a lot in a container and sometimes it can last forever. I finally figured out other than the occasional cooking ideas, it'll make a great easy activity for kids. This is mainly geared to preschoolers, but my almost-7-year-old really loved this as well! So, I can say this is for kids 3-10. All you

Painting Planters

Over the past week, we decided to paint planters. I've really taken up gardening as a great hobby. And there is nothing like growing and eating your own food. And since you take care of it, you know it's organic, which is the best ever! I wanted to spice up our garden a bit so we all did an activity where we each painted a planter. Materials: Planters (they're relatively

That being said, let me introduce you to the Elephant Toothpaste Experiment.
