Kind of Thinking That I Need a Make-up Room

I think it would be nice to have a make-up room. Maybe someday if we had an extra tiny room. I found these photos on Pinterest. I do my make-up in the bathroom. I feel like it has the best light. I've never had a make-up mirror, but I would love 1 with lights all around it.

New book that I'm reading

I'm starting a new book today. It's author is actually from my town.So I guess this counts as my 1st book for the year. My last 1 I started in November & finished in Jan, but since I started it last year it doesn't count. The book is called "Flying Backwards". I hope it like it. I'll let you know.

Mommy & Me Monday

Linking up with Krystyn from "Really Are You Serious"?

Homemade slime

Tara is really into DIY's. She loves watching them on You tube & making them herself. I suggested that she make diy presents for her friends for Christmas, so she wanted to make them slime. My hubby went online & found a good recipe. 



They went out & bought tins, food coloring & glue. He brought home some labels from work & we took a pic of her with Kiz. We had an assembly line putting the tins in bags with stickers & wrote her friend's names on the bags. They all loved them. We had silly putty as kids & now they have flubber, slime, goo & Thinking putty.

 
These are the directions that were on the bottom of the tin.


What you will need:

Solution A
1 cup water
1 cup glue (not from the dollar store, too watery)
2 Tbs. liquid tempera paint or 7-10 drops of food coloring
Solution B
1 1/3 cup warm water
4tsp. borox laundry booster

How to Concoct it:
1. Mix ingredients in solution A together in a medium bowl.
2. In a second medium bowl, mix the ingredients in solution B together until the borox is completely dissolved.
3. Slowly pour solution A into solution B (Do not mix).
4. Roll solution A around in solution B 4-5x .
5. Lift solution A out of solution B and knead for 2-3 minutes.
6. Store gunk in an airtight container or plastic zip bag.

What is on Your Reading List for 2017?



I really would love to read one book a month, but I'm a pretty slow reader & sometimes don't get to read every night. I also read magazines at night sometimes. I want to read more Chick lit books, positive books about living a positive life & also cozy mysteries. I also would like to read all of Laura Childs newer books that I haven't read. She's a cozy mystery writer that has a scrapbooking series (the main girl in the book owns a scrapbook store) & she has a tea shop series (where the main character has a tea shop). What type of books do you like to read? Do you have a set list of what you want to read this year or an amount of books that you want to read? Are any of you doing a reading challenge?

A New Year

We took a few pics on New Year's Eve Eve. Notice our cat, Kizmet with a lei on her neck too.

Went to a Bar & Grill for a drink.


 Had a few sips of champagne @ a friend's house. Yuck.
