Have you ever experimented with making your own paint? That's something that happens very often in our house 😀. We try all different kind of things........ Today's experiment was with Hand Soap and Food coloring. Turned out great though. The soap added a nice scent to the paint. Worked great and washed out very easily. All we did was pour hand soap in our pain trays, add a few drops of food dye and mix well. Paint had a nice glossy shine to it. And we tested it out by painting a Fall scene. Do you see the birch trees? 😉 ~~~~~~~~~~ All photos posted here are property of Life with Me3. Photos copyrighted to Portraits by Alinda. DO not use any content without written permission.

When i realized it was Dr. Seuss Day, I decided to try to make at least one item from our list before the day ended. But, I had none of the materials from the plan, at hand for our projects. So i improvised. yep! I got creative using construction paper, poster board, and more, to whip up a quick hat. Despite the last minute rush, lil man had fun making the hat and enjoyed using it. Getting to use scissors and glue, was the most wonderful experience for him. He couldn't wait to show off his hat to his dad and brothers. Materials: construction paper (red, white and black) Poster Board (white) Scissors Glue Hot glue gun with glue sticks Printer Tape measure Making the hat was easy. Brim  - I measured his head, found a bowl that was the same size or close to it, placed it on the poster board (I used 11x14), then cut the circle.  The perfect round piec...
