7 Motherhood Ideas that I LOVE!

This is part 2 to my first post about snow and ice activities from yesterday . On one of the days we made these borax crystal snowflakes. We actually first made these, two Christmases ago. They looked so pretty then, but when I pulled them out this last Christmas they had turned a little chalky and white and not pretty anymore.

Inspired by a Pin I've recently seen about "rules for dads with daughters," I went searching for a similar list for moms with sons. This search was mostly fruitless, so I was inspired to write my own Rules for Moms with Sons. Granted, my list will not be conclusive and may not be entirely uncontroversial.

Bouncing Bubbles

This entire week my son has asked to play with bubbles after dinner. The sun is lower, the weather is cool at that time, and there has been a nice breeze. We have spent up to an hour making large bubbles and running around popping them. I will always remember an experience I had with my Pre-K students years ago. I found some unpoppable bubbles back then and we played with them in the classroom.
We used a funnel to fill sets of balloons with pantry items of varying texture: 2 each of rice, flour, sugar, small pearl tapioca, lentils, quinoa, and pumpkin seeds.
