Homemade Children’s Cough Syrup

DIY Spray Deodorant with Magnesium

Zen-tastic Homemade Play Dough
This summer is the summer of living out of our suitcases. People keep asking me how it's going since we left Argentina in June with a few suitcases and no plans to move into our home until the end of August. My response is always the same: "It's hard but it's an...
Pretty-in-Pink Homemade Lip Gloss
