Kitchen Craft: Soap Clouds! {And homemade kiddie tub soaps}
You know what question Kate and I get a lot? “How do you girls do it it all??” Our schedules are full, just as many of yours are, and it comes with the constant struggle of balancing Mom-life with work-life. And like most other Mothers out there, when it comes down to it and one has to take priority, the Mom gig wins- no contest. If something has to fall through the cracks it’s not Mom thing; it’s usually the doing-laundry, cleaning-bathrooms, or showering-before-noon thing. So to answer the question, how do we do it all? We call these “Soap Clouds.” Place a piece of waxed paper, parchment, plastic wrap, or paper towel in your microwave. Start your microwave for a couple of minutes on high power. Ten bonus points for anyone who can reference my children’s ramblings about “the great devourer.” I don’t know how it does it- but it starts growing! It looks like it should be foamy and wet, but it’s not. It’s the weirdest looking thing. Now. Now go have some fun with your own kiddos today!

Elle s'appelle Varda mais elle se soigne | Nathalie Petrowski | Télévision Il y a exactement sept ans, dans ce journal, je prédisais à Varda Étienne un grand avenir en télévision. À l'époque, sa carrière télé était encore embryonnaire. Elle n'avait animé que deux émissions à MusiquePlus, une sur la musique «dance» et une autre sur la mode, mais sa personnalité fantasque, flamboyante et faite sur mesure pour les caméras laissait entrevoir un ciel professionnel radieux pour cette bête de télé qui n'avait pas la langue dans sa poche et maniait sa verve comme un fouet. Sans compter qu'en plus de ses talents de communicatrice, Varda avait un talent encore plus important: celui de convaincre les autres de sa grande valeur. Bref, à 29 ans, tous les espoirs semblaient permis à cette ex-mannequin et fille de bonne famille, qui a grandi en partie à Outremont et épaté ses profs à l'école privée. Pourtant, sept ans ont passé sans que la carrière télé de Varda ne décolle vraiment. Flyée... ou folle finie Souffrir et faire souffrir

Richard Cassaro » Research The Triptych Temples Of Atlantis Unprecedented New Archaeological Evidence That A Highly Advanced “Lost Civilization” Flourished In A Remote Age Older Than Recorded Time Did the world’s first cultures inherit the same high wisdom from the same more ancient but now-vanished Mother Culture? The ancient pyramid cultures all built these Triptych (Three-Door) Temples. Does this mean they shared the same religion? Like the pyramids, the presence of these Triptych Temples worldwide throws enormous weight behind the “Atlantis” theory—the idea that civilization has much older roots than presently accepted by science; that there is a major forgotten episode in human history; that an advanced ancient culture once flourished but was destroyed in a cataclysm; and that history’s first known cultures were inheritors of its legacy. There are two different versions of history. We already know the mainstream version found in history books. Above: No records exist of any contact between these civilizations.

Must One Risk Madness to Achieve Genius? 6Share Synopsis Must one risk getting lost in the sea of madness in order to reach the lone island of genius? "There is only one difference between a madman and me. I am not mad." — Salvador Dali Must one risk getting lost in the sea of madness in order to reach the lone island of genius? Among the "Big Five" personality traits, the Openness/Intellect domain has been the most difficult for psychologists to describe. In a recent series of studies, Colin G. First let's cover some terms. Now we've defined our terms, we can get to the good stuff. And that's what they found. The Paradoxical Simplex A simplex is an arrangement of variables along a single dimension.
