Homemade Playdoh Recipe

I don't know about your children, but I know mine believe that mixed play dough is the only kind we should have. I really do not like when the colors get mixed. Lately the play dough we have is all mushed between a couple containers and there is hardly any of the same color visible in each blob. I decided it is time to refresh our play dough! I have a recipe for play dough from my Aunt and I love it! It works great and takes about 5 minutes to cook and then another few minutes to color. Of course you can add the color while cooking it and get it done quick but I like to make more than one color at a time and so I usually do a double batch and then divide and color it once it is done. Here's what you need to make homemade play dough.

1 cup flour

1/2 cup salt

2 teaspoons cream of tartar

1 Tablespoon oil

1 cup water

food coloring

saucepan

wooden spoon/strong spatula

Sisters!!!

Tonight I am having a girls night with my handicap sister Laura. She is awesome and although can get on my nerves when she tries to help me parent my children, she means well and is just trying to copy what I do as my 4 year old tries to emulate me. She bought some fake nails (one of her most favorite things!!) today while out with my mom so we put them on tonight. Even I put on a whole set! We had a blast! Then we played bowling on the wii (another one of her very most favorite things!!) while folding clothes...I am a mother first so I do have to do boring adult stuff too...overall things went well tonight and tomorrow is going to be fun too!! 

On a different note, after browning 3lbs of ground beef tonight, there was so much fat to pour off it was disgusting!! Better in a jar than in us I suppose...

And yes I am staying up WAY too late tonight!!!
