Has anyone else been just a little aggravated with bubbles lately?
I mean, they just don't make them like they used to.
Today Lil Man and I tried to blow bubbles, but we couldn't make a bubble to save our lives. Grrrrrrrrrr. What is up with that? Okay, so the pregnancy hormones aren't helping the situation either, but bubbles should be easy, shouldn't they? And fun!
I love watching my kids giggle and run after them, trying to catch them, pop them, and sometimes even eat them. But bubbles aren't just for kids. They're for grown-ups too. Imagine blowing all your cares into their shiny wet spheres and watching them float away. I think we should blow bubbles every day!
My Mother-in-Love has a great recipe for HUGE bubbles. We're talking enormous, whatever size you wish for, bubbles.
Here's her Big Bubble recipe (that works!):1 Cup Ivory Liquid (no degreaser)
12 cups water
3/4 Tablespoon glycerin (found in drug department of Walmart)
Stir together and leave uncovered overnight. It works better.Cut out wand from tops of old plastic containers, the larger, the better.
Have fun!
The best thing about making your own bubbles? You can get totally creative and use just about anything as a bubble wand!
It's fun, it's free, it's fabulous.
So go blow some bubbles.
