Glitter Glue Slime

After the Thanksgiving holiday, everything is always go, go, go! Well, being 26 weeks pregnant and having three kids here, I wasn't feeling up to the crazy, busy life style and did not want to drag all three out of the house today. So, we decided to do a fun project at the house. We made glitter slime! It is so simple and so fast and the perfect quick activity to keep your kids busy for a few hours.

Here is what you will need:

- 1 Bottle of Elmer's Glitter Glue

- 1 cup of water

- 1 tsp. Borax

Mix 1 tsp. Borax with 1 cup of water, until Borax dissolves into water. 

In a different bowl have your sweet helper empty the bottle of glitter glue. 

Pour the mixture of Borax into the bowl of glitter glue, have your helper use their hands to mix and mush the mixture together. You will notice the slime will start to form right away, don't leave it in the water mixture too long because it will start to harden.

As your kids start to play with it, it may get too slimey, thats okay, just place it back in the Borax solution and it will form again.

The best storage option is a glass baby food container or a glass mason jar. Enjoy! It is a lot of fun, easy and quick clean up!

Sunday Special!

This Sunday I hit the 25 week mark for my pregnancy, more than half way but still so far from being done. I'm glad there is still more time for this sweet baby to cook because quite frankly, I need more time! With the holidays coming and our up coming move to Georgia, I need this sweet boy to stay put!

In order to celebrate this occasion, I decided to try one of Sarah Spealler's cookie recipes. All of her recipes look so delightful and of course they are paleo! This recipe for cookies is one Sarah swears by and let me tell you, not only did I love it so did my three year old! And of course my husband!!

Brace yourself.. these are a god send, these are amazing... Paleo Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies!!

Disclaimer: These are not super sweet, if you are looking for a super sweet treat for a holiday party, this isn't it! They are great and pretty darn clean and I sure don't mind feeding my sweet boy a few of them! 

For the dough -
2 cups almond flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup Spectrum all vegetable shortening
1/4 cup honey
1 TBSP vanilla extract
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

The bacon -
Line baking sheet with aluminum foil. Bake at 400 degrees for 14-16 minutes. Crispy bacon is better for these cookies. Let the bacon cool and cut into tiny pieces, which will be pretty easy if you let the bacon get crispy.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. In a food processor combine all the ingredients except the chocolate chips and bacon. Once everything is mixed together evenly, transfer into a large bowl fold in bacon pieces and chocolate chips. Scoop dough 1 TBSP at a time on to the baking sheets, bake for 6 to 9 minutes! Enjoy!
