DIY Honey Slime

March 31, 2018

DIY Honey Slime Recipe

DIY Honey Slime

Our house for the past year or so has been a slime factory.  Our 9 year old has even started her own YouTube channel for slime.  I’ve learned that glue, glitter and well, slime, is inevitably going to cover our kitchen.  When in Rome you know?  So now, I have joined the slime making crew.  Don’t tell anyone, but I actually like to make it.  (I still don’t like to clean it though!)  My favorite part of creating slime is coming up with new and creative ideas to inspire our slime.

DIY Honey Slime Recipe

This honey slime recipe is one of my favorites actually.  It looks like real honey!  Well, except that it has sequins and glitter and cute bumble bees on it.

DIY Honey Slime Recipe

Do you want the honey slime recipe?  Luckily, we are sharing it!  Because seriously, this slime is too cute not to share with everyone! (PS…Do you love slime?  Hope so, because we have lots of new slime recipes that we will be posting soon.  Thanks spring break!)

DIY Honey Slime Recipe

What You Will Need For The DIY Honey Slime Recipe:

  • 1 Cup Hot Water
  • 1/3 tsp Borax
  • 1 5 oz Clear Elmer’s Glue
  • 1/4 Cup Room Temperature Water
  • Food Coloring – I used gel food coloring (I like the different color options it gives me and the awesome color it provides!) The colors that I used were golden yellow and brown.
  • Gold Sequins
  • Extra fine glitter – I used a mix of two glitters.  One was a light golden tan and one was more of a gold.
  • Bee Button Embellishments 
  • 2 Containers for mixing
  • 1 Container for storing

In a plastic container, pour 1 cup of hot water and stir in ⅓ tsp of Borax.  

DIY Honey Slime Recipe

In a second plastic container, mix ¼ cup water and pour an entire bottle of glue.  Mix together gently.

Add in your mix ins!  Add the glitter to your glue mixture.

If you want to add some food coloring to get the perfect honey color, add it in now.  I like the gel food coloring. It only takes a tiny bit. I literally stick a knife in and whatever sticks is what I add.  A little will go a long way! I used a golden yellow and a brown.Pour in some gold sequins.   I think the sequins resemble a bit of a honey comb shape!

Once the glue mixture is the color you want, add your bees.  

Pour the container of the glue mixture into the water and borax solution.  

Let it sit for 30 seconds.  You will see it instantly start to glob up. I use this time to rinse out my first container.

Reach in and pull out the slime mixture and put it back into your empty container.  It will be sticky right now – that’s ok.

Knead it for a few minutes.

If you need to firm it up, just add a touch of the remaining borax and water mixture.  

DIY Honey Slime Recipe

Store in an airtight container.

Isn’t this so pretty?  Perfect for parties, for an activity to go with a bee unit for a classroom or just because you have a slime aficionado.

Spring Orange Marshmallow Fluff Salad

March 27, 2018

Orange Marshmallow Fluff Salad

One of our kids is obsessed with cottage cheese.  Cottage cheese and fruit.  Cottage cheese and pretzels.  Some days he even puts cheese on his cottage cheese.  I can make a big dinner that I’m insanely proud of myself for and without a doubt, he will say “Can I just have cottage cheese instead?”  So awhile back, I was looking for some cottage cheese mixes that he hasn’t tried yet.  That’s when I found Fluff Salad.

Spring Orange Fluff Salad

Now, not only is he obsessed with cottage cheese, but he’s obsessed with Fluff Salad as well.  It’s the perfect mix of cottage cheese, tons of fruit and whip cream.  Oh and marshmallows.  Because who doesn’t love mini marshmallows?

This recipe is perfect for taking to pitch-ins, picnics, reunions, or events.  People like it.  (A lot.)  And it makes a lot.  A lot. A lot.  (Trust me when I say get a big bowl!)

Ingredients
  • 16 oz Cool Whip Frozen

  • 3 11 oz Mandarin Oranges Well Drained
  • 1 3 oz Orange Jell-o
  • 2 1/2 24 oz Cottage Cheese

Servings:
Instructions

  2. Fold in the Cool Whip. You will want to make sure that it is frozen or semi-thawed. If you let it fully thaw, then it won’t set up correctly.
  3. Add your oranges and pineapple. Gently mix. You want to be careful with the oranges!
  4. Last thing to add - the marshmallows. Mix one last time!
  5. Transfer your fluff from the bowl to a large baking dish. Smooth out the top and cover. Put in the refrigerator and chill for 4+ hours.

  6. This is perfect for taking to picnics or pitch ins! Nothing goes better with cottage cheese than fruit….except for fruit, whip cream and marshmallows. :)

Monkey Bread Recipe

January 25, 2012

Monkey Bread RecipeMonkey Bread Recipe
Sunday mornings in our house are for a few things.  Sleeping in (well, for us!), church, and football.  I usually make my meal plan for the week and do some laundry, but really, Sunday is our day to just chill.  The last thing that I want to be doing is cooking up a storm…dirtying up 100 million dishes (ok, maybe that is a slight exaggeration) or making something super fancy that the kids are going to take one look at and say ‘Um, thanks but no thanks.’
Enter: Monkey Bread.  Mmmm.  A favorite in our house.  Made every great once in a while because, well, it is addicting – you can’t just have one bite.  And I’m not sure, but pretty positive that it’s not the healthiest thing out there.
This monkey bread recipe is so good!  And super easy.  And it will make your kid’s (or husband’s) day.  And everyone (even the pickiest ones) eat it up.   Which trust me….is a rare occurrence!  When I manage to find something easy to make that everyone will eat….I hold on to it!  Those recipes are like unicorns – heard of, but rarely seen. :)

Seriously, this monkey bread recipe makes hands down, the best monkey bread …. ever!  Isn’t it pretty?  Well, I guarantee you that it only sat whole like this for about 30 seconds before hands were in it, pulling it apart.  And probably about 10 minutes until it was gone!  Ooey and gooey, this monkey bread recipe is one of my family’s favorite and I’m sure it will become your family’s favorite too!
If you make this monkey bread recipe, share it with us on Instagram or Facebook!  I would love to see and hear about how your family likes it!  Do you have a family favorite recipe?
