I love helping fellow WAHM's get their businesses going. Especially when it shares the scriptures as well! Wall Worthy is an online Etsy store run by a WAHM and specializes in high quality wall vinyl art. Anything from Scripture to Personalized Monograms are available.

Fall Craft: Broken Shaved Crayon Tree


I love it when I find fun ways to use up things that I would normally throw away! I found this Broken Shaved Crayon Fall Tree and knew we had to try it!


Supplies:

Iron

Paper Bag or something else to protect surface (it will bleed!)

Broken Crayons

Wax Paper

Trunk Cut Out


Procedure:


Heat iron. Crayons melt pretty easily so no need to have it on full, but you want it pretty hot.


Shave the crayons either by using a pencil sharpener or a peeling tool. Use fall colors such as oranges, reds, browns, and yellows. I separated our colors onto different plates so that we could layer the brighter colors on top of the darker ones. Otherwise you would just get a big brown tree.


Lay out whatever you are using to protect your surface and lay a sheet of wax paper down on top of that. Place your tree trunk on the wax paper and then have your child sprinkle the shavings starting with the darkest color.


Lay a second sheet of wax paper over the entire tree and gently iron and watch the colors spread! I found it worked best to press and lift in each spot rather than rubbing.


Once your tree is cool you can trim around it and use it for decoration!

Freezer Meal Fridays



Getting rid of most packaged and processed food has also meant the death of the easy meal. No more grabbing a packaged lasagna (guaranteed to be done in 30 minutes!) and sticking it in the oven and forgetting about it until the timer goes off. I love easy meals. So Freezer Meal Fridays are my solution to losing my convenience meals. Every Friday I will be making a meal that can be easily doubled and frozen. I will also take that morning to whip up a double batch of pancakes or waffles for the freezer. I will be posting a link-up on Friday morning!

Candy Experiments


We passed by the candy that was on sale from halloween but now that Laura from Raising Homemakers has posted about these candy experiments I think we will be heading back to grab some of it!

Try out this Density Rainbow with Skittles or find out if your favorite candy is acidic.

Drop a Warhead in baking soda water, and bubbles erupt. Leave a Skittle in water, and the S floats to the surface. Melt a Starburst, and shiny oil spots form. You're doing candy experiments.

Melt Halloween candy. Dissolve Valentine hearts. Float Easter Peeps. Or explore your own ideas.

Candy experiments. All candy. All science. All fun.
