Lesson learned the hard way...

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy! -
I was a bit of an idiot today!  I was outside from 9:30-2 and never applied sunscreen!  I usually am very good at remembering to apply it, and its not like I forgot I put it on my daughter but I had Titus in the Moby and did not want to get any on him so I said to myself I would wait till we got to the park and take him out of the Moby and apply some... never did!  DUMB mistake by me!


LOOK at ME!!  I look like a big raccoon since I was wearing sunglasses!  LOL!  My hubby came home from work today and I did not get a "hi sweetie how was your day" I got "hahahaha, you forgot your sunscreen" followed with a even bigger laugh.  I usually get one little burn to help me remember to apply sunscreen the rest of summer but this year I got a bad burn!  :(  ICKY!



Even my neck is red and the back of my legs!  LESSON LEARNED!  I will not forget sunscreen!  I have to admit this is the second time this year I have gotten sun burned.  I went on a hour and half walk 2 weeks ago and my arms got red and sore.  You would think that I would have learned my lesson that time!  LESSON LEARNED FOR SURE!


I feel a lil bummed cause little Titus got a little red on his one cheek.  I thought I had him covered well but one cheek got some color.   It is not near the damage I did to my self.  Lots of aloe to be applied to myself and him.


Anyone else daring enough to share pictures of their sunburns?


So I am going to do a couple more posts about sunscreen and sun protection especially for infants!  STAY TUNED!  :)

My daughter got one of those Orbeez bead sets for Christmas.  I was so amazed at how those beads grew in the water.  It was so much fun!  :)  My daughter made her necklaces with the beads but we had a lot more m beads so we have been using them for some fun sensory play.   We put the beads in a dish and we got some glow sticks and put them in the container with the beads.  The beads looked really awesome.  :) My daughter loved it.  She played in the dark with the beads and glow sticks for a long time.  :)

Beating the Heat with Ice Cube Painting

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy! -

I LOVE LOVE LOVE being a mom!  I love that my daughter is at a age where she wants to do arts n crafts and is a little sponge learning and trying new things.  
With the heat of the week I wanted another activity that would help keep us cool.  Ice cube painting was a great idea for 90 degree days with lots of humidity.   
Not only was this fun but very easy to make.  All I did was put water in my ice cube tray and then added food coloring and then put in the freezer.  SUPER FUN AND EXTREMELY EASY!  
Selah's face she makes when she is concentrating.  
Her first drawing on paper.   
This is an old dish towel that I did not use anymore.  
You could set the ice cube in one spot and let it melt for a little bit and then move it.  It created a very neat tye-dye look.  :)  I LOVED IT!  Selah had so much fun moving the ice cubes around.  :) 
Her name kinda disappeared but this looks so cool!  I love love love it!  :) 
We want to do this again!  :)

Last week we tried out the fizzing sidewalk chalk- click here to read that review.

This week it is liquid chalk spray.  They are a bit similar but yet different.  Here is how to make it:


Supplies:1 tsp. washable tempura paint1 cup of hot water1/2 cup of cornstarchsquirt of dishwashing liquid1 squirt bottle- I found them at the dollar store1.  Add cornstarch to one cup of hot water whisking to mix so that there are no clumps. 2.  Add one teaspoon of washable tempura paint and a quirt of dishwashing liquid.  Mix well. 3.  Pour it into your squirt bottles and shake well. 4.  Go have fun!!!  
This kept my daughters attention much longer the the fizzy chalk last week.  I also think this was easier to work with and just more fun in general.  I love seeing the chalk wet but then to see it dry.  I think it dried darker so it was fun to see the changes.  :)  Ready, Set, Go!  Have some fun!
