Share this post and donate a haircut to a child!!

I am so excited to be a part of this neat opportunity with Hair Cuttery! You read that picture above correct- All you need to do is share this post with the button above and you will donate a hair cut to a child in need. Perfect timing for Back to School- Let those kids go to school with some self esteem. The average cost for back to school ages K-12 is $668!! So lets help out all the parents and cut the cost back with free hair cuts! It's simple and will make a difference for each family.

SHARE THIS POST!! Make sure you click the picture in this post! :) Also there are 10 bloggers participating in this event and the blogger who gets the most clicks will be able to donate to donorschoose.org All the donations on that site are to help schools. With budget cuts in most school districts this site allows teachers to set up a way to get donations for the items their classroom needs. I was able to page through the many schools and teachers who are seeking help with financials in items their class needs. If my blog has the most clicks I know the charity I would choose on donorschoose.org would be for a special needs classroom. There are several in Iowa that need some help and it would be awesome to reach out to my local community. :) Some need some new technology items like Ipads, and Ipens, some need some stability ball seats or busy seats, some just need subscriptions for the kids. I encourage you to check out the site and see if a school near you needs help.

This is a sponsored post but since it is all about donations the money Praises of a Wife and Mommy was paid is going to be donated to Light the Night to fight leukemia and lymphoma. http://pages.lightthenight.org/mn/TwinCiti13/AFlanigan

Liquid Chalk spray! Chalk Idea #7

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

Toddler Rainbow Craft for St. Patricks Day

St. Patrick's day is March 17th so its approaching quickly. I have a few ideas on art and food projects that i want to do with the kiddos. Hopefully I will have enough time to complete them and share them with you. This was a super easy one for those little hands. I cut the stripes of colored paper but if you are working with a preschooler or school aged child then they can practice cutting. The two toddler boys here only had to glue the pieces on their piece of paper. EASY, but they enjoyed it! :) It sure has brightened my kitchen with them hanging on the fridge! :) I also talked more about the Promise God gave us with the rainbow since I know that history a whole lot better then the history of the Irish Holiday!
