Summer is officially here! Helium-free and still this cute 🎈✨ One thing about me… I’m going to find the easiest way to make childhood feel magical without spending a fortune 😂 These balloons were a hit, lasted so much longer, and honestly made the whole setup feel extra cozy and fun. I put this up to kick off summer. Perfect for birthdays, playdates, baby showers, or just making an ordinary day feel special 💕 Tiny hands may have been very involved in this one 🥹 Save this easy party idea for later! 🎈 Comment BALLOON for a message of everything I used balloondecoration partyhacks schoolsoutforsummer summerishere partytime summervibes schoolsout last day of school summer activities end of school party decor birthday party LTKKids LTKmomlife LTKSeasonal

My girls favorite dolls. The small one is soft and smells like vanilla. It’s perfect for ages 1-8. The bigger doll is more realistic, it cries, wets and “drinks” a bottle. It’s perfect for ages 4-12.

I know, I know it’s June. But you need to make vanilla 2-6 months before you gift it. Such a cute Christmas gift idea. 🎄🎄

Shake once a week for the first month.

Wait:
Let it steep for at least 6-8 weeks, but 3–6 months gives the best flavor. The longer, the richer.
🍪 Tips
You can top off with more alcohol as you use it to keep the beans submerged and keep the extract going for months (even years).
Once finished, you can strain the extract or leave the beans in for a stronger flavor over time.
Use 1 tablespoon per recipe, just like store-bought extract.

Water slime was a blast. Another Pinterest win. A bit messy but so fun! It feels like slime. But looks and has the movement of water.

Comment SLIME and I’ll share everything you need to make this. Make sure you are f o l l o w ing to receive the message.

What you need:
2 cups warm water
1 tsp Guar gum powder
Food coloring
1 Tbsp slime activator

Pour warm water in a bowl, add food coloring, mix. Sift the Guar gum into the water. Stir. It should get a little bit thick, if it doesn’t as a smidge more. Strain the gum out. Slowly add the activator. Stir until it is the slime consistency. Add other things in. I added stars for Fourth of July but you can add others.
