still making slime

Slime has had my kids in a chokehold since 2018. If you would have told me I’d still be making it in 2022, I would have rebuked your word curse and called you a liar.

I know a stronghold when I see one so please fast for my family.


We made more today.


Parents, it’s cheaper to make than buy. By a lot.


I use borax despite not knowing what is in borax because I’m too tired to care. Maybe it’s just strong soap, it could be a crystal meth ingredient but listen, I have not seen any side effects other than it getting them off the iPad for a few minutes which is miraculous.

I don’t check ingredients on store bought slime but sometimes it smells like power plant, peanuts, and industrial floor cleaner. Don’t know why. So this is organic in comparison. Organic fair trade slime. Educational as well because there’s measuring involved. This is private school slime on a dollar store budget.


This slime has no scent. Actually the scent is quiet, entertained child. It’s a good sensory play toy. Keep it off your carpet or you’ll have to throw the carpet away or move a coffee table over the dried slime patch and pray guests don’t move it. I store it in a ziploc bag.


Recipe:


1/2 cup warm water mixed with 1/4 tsp borax 1/2 cup warm water mixed with 1/2 cup school glue (blend well) Small dots of any poster paint you have on hand if you want

Blend it all in the order above.

Done.


Any tips for getting slime out of carpet are appreciated.


Bonus: I make my kids wash any dishes we use for slime. My 8 y/o son just washed the bowl, a spoon and measuring cup and had the nerve to say, “I’m exhausted.” I didn’t say anything because I couldn’t think of anything gentle.


I hope you have fun with this. Keep it out of their hair unless you crave problems.

How Staying Focused Keeps You Afloat

In the last post I wrote about how in the story of Nehemiah, two men called Sanballat and Tobiah were instantly disturbed by Nehemiah's plan to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. 

 

Then they laughed and accused Nehemiah of doing wrong. Nehemiah didn't fight them or go on a tirade defending himself. His answer to his newly formed panel of agitators was to state his unmoving faith in God. Even as they spread falsehoods against Nehemiah, he prevailed. How? He kept his eyes on the One who had given him his project. Focus will keep you on track and even in joy as you work. Keep reading.

Rejecting Every False Prophecy/Curse & Choosing God's Vision

When Sanballat and his buddies realized he could not attack Nehemiah's body, they tried to attack his mind with accusations. When they realized the attacks on the mind did not work, they tried to attack his spirit by having him come into physical agreement with false prophecy of imminent attack and death ("they will come and kill you").

What has been falsely prophesied over your work? That it's not a good time to start? That the economy isn't good enough? That no one will like your work? That it will fail? That you're not the one to do it? The enemy cannot physically make you stop but he will try to discourage and discredit you. Come out of agreement with any false prophetic word and come into agreement God's sight for your project. Keep reading.
