The first day of the year and I am off to a great start.  I started a couple new reading plans and one is coordinated with my weight loss goals.  It is called, "Made to Crave" and you can find the short 21 day devotional at youversion.com-  https://www.youversion.com/reading-plans/419-made-to-crave-21-day-challenge?day=1

The most important thing when I am pursuing getting fit is not necessarily because I want to look and feel good (it helps!!!) but more importantly I want to crave my savior more then I crave food.  I am very blessed since I do not feel I have used food as a comfort thing nor do I think I crave food all the time.  I am more of the average female who has a few days a month with cravings.  

1/1/13

Liquid Chalk spray! Chalk Idea #7

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
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 paint 1 cup of hot water 1/2 cup of cornstarch squirt of dishwashing liquid 1 squirt bottle- I found them at the dollar store 1.  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! She is my little model... she kept saying "take my picture mom." She is like her
