Smooth hands,soft lips & cornhole game



This morning I am blogging with a head full of braids, the smoothest hands ever and soft, soft lips! Yesterday we "girls" spent the day making liquid hand soap and lip balm. Of course we had to try each recipe. Cocoa lip balm, vanilla lip balm, strawberry lip balm, peppermint lip balm, and honey lip balm. We each have our favorite. The hand soap is great and made a nice big batch. The girls are taking all of this to the fair so they had to determine their cost and I think the hand soap came in the winner at less than a penny an ounce. Like I said, it made a big batch! ha ha Cierra (age 14) made her corn bags for the cornhole game board that she made with grandpa's supervision. I'd never heard of that before so that was a learning lesson.
Today's agenda includes making a thrift store vase look old and grungy for the wild grasses that they picked (before all our rain), making hand lotion, wood fire starters and baking cookies. Oh boy! Let me rephrase..........Oh girls!
