Shake It Up Ice Cream

Shake It Up3

 

My sweet little girl… she runs on two things, sunshine and ice cream! This girl goes a million miles a minute, with mommy chasing in the wind.  From sun up to way past sun down, it’s a blur of blonde hair and laughter echoing our house.

No Fuss Cake Doughnuts

My daughter thinks there are two food groups in her world, doughnuts and ice cream.  Since we have food allergies, buying doughnuts cost more than the $.50 ones most people buy at the local gas station.  They can run up to $2 each and come frozen.

Softest Play Dough EVER!

Since the Play-Doh you buy at the store contains Gluten, it was not an option for us to use.  I went in search of a gluten-free recipe for play dough. I think I have tried every recipe you can find on Pintrest, with many epic fails! I finally found a recipe through my daughter’s early education class.

This is the easiest, and cheapest recipe I have found. It’s also the softest EVER!

 

Softest Play Dough

1 Part hair conditioner (I used Dove since I know its safe for my daughter, however you can use any kind you find at the Dollar Store)

2 Parts Cornstarch

Mix until combined. Stays fresh in a zip lock bag for about a week.
