Flubber, gak, fluff, or whatever you may call it

Last night the family had an awesome time with flubber. It was super easy to make and my daughter sat playing with it for a long time. :) I also found glue for 25 cents a bottle at the grocery store. With school starting I bet many of you stocked up on your glue so here is a great recipe to use some of it. :)

Here is how you make it:

1 1/3 cups warm water

3 teaspoons borax

Stir together well

1 1/2 cups warm water

2 cups glue (about 2 large bottles) (I used 4 4oz bottles)

food coloring (if wanted)

mix together well

Poor the borax and water over the glue mixture

(Get ready to get sticky! lol)

Let it sit about 20 seconds then carefully flip it over

it will be semi solid and very sticky, continue to play and work with it until all the liquid is gone.

The more you play with it the more "solid" it gets, let it sit on your hand and it turns more "liquid" VERY fun! Once it is made its not very messy and easy to clean off surfaces.

I stored mine in ziploc bags.

Making the flubber!

Still mixing

Wow, look at it all! We brought half of it to the YMCA mini care so other kids can play with it too.

Stick it in a cup and listen. (it will make fart noises and there will be lots of laughing)

Daddy could not resist the noisy fun!

Other tools we used while playing.

Try to blow a bubble in it... VERY hard but a fun challenge.

Before I did this we had just read about our 5 senses. We were able to use 4 of our senses during this activity. Touch, smell, see, and listen. :) (NO tasting allowed) Listening was fun as we mixed the ingredients together but also stuffing it in a cup, the smell was primarily glue, and the touching was the most exciting. :)
What a great sensory activity that will provide hours of fun! :)

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...

A big thank you to Andy who sent me some amazing cookies to try to conduct my review. :) All opinions expressed are 100 % mine and I was not paid for this review. About Sweet Andy's Cookies: The “Thank You” Cookie In 2009, Andrew (Sweet Andy) found himself in a position like so many others at that time in our past; the economy was quickly spiraling downward and he had left his job in the financial services industry. Although Andy had an MBA in Banking and Finance and had even written a book entitled, “A Guide to Taking Control of Your Investments”, he found himself to be disenchanted with the financial industry and left to pursue “other work.” The “other work” that Andrew pursued was with the Church and did not provide financial support for the family. During this time Andy and his wife, Lissa, struggled to find other forms of income. They did what they could for themselves and their five children but often it was not enough. But there were...
