Celebrating 8 Years

crazyblessedlife

Monday was our 8 year wedding anniversary.

We grew up in families with very different ideas of “vacation”.

Noah is 2! Cars birthday

Oobleck Fun!

crazyblessedlife

Looking for something fun and new to do with my kids I came across oobleck. Used with the Dr. Seuss book Bartholomew and the Oobleck. This recipe is something my mom used while I was growing up with me and my siblings but called it “pud” or clean mud. I love the way it has been incorporated into the Dr. Seuss book though and decided to do it with the kids for a fun morning project.
