Let it Snow




We have seen a recipe for fake snow all over the internet lately, so we decided to gather the Crazy Navy Brats, and try it out.  It was a very simple, if a bit messy, recipe.  The kids had a lot of fun with it.  In fact the smallest ones played with it for hours.  We doubled the recipe, we do have eight kids between us, but it would have been better for us to quadruple it.  Since the recipe floating around would probably only be enough for one, maybe two kids, we'll just list the doubled recipe.

What you need:

4 cups Baking Soda
1 cup Conditioner
Bowl or Baking Dish

That's it!  Really simple.

I got our supplies at the Dollar Tree, and they were out of white conditioner, so we used strawberry.  Smelled great, and didn't alter the color of the snow at all.




Just put all the ingredients into bowl or baking dish.  So easy, we let the kids do it!

Then, let them get in there, and mix well.

It definitely has a snow feel, not as play doh as it looks.
Have fun!
Our kids had a lot of fun with it, and managed to all get along!  Hope yours do to!

My Lovely Lady Lumps



Melanie and I represent both halves of the traditional hourglass shape.  Together.  I'm the top half, she's the bottom.  We thought it would be fun to make lists for all the girls that share our pain.

10 Problems Only Girls With Big Boobs Understand

  1. Button down shirts.  Um, no.  Not unless we want them to be three sizes too big (and somehow they still manage to gap), or busting at the buttons.  Seriously, beware of flying buttons.
  2. Sports bras.  I have to put on two or be lucky enough to find one with an underwire, to even think about taming the twins.  Not to mention the fantastically unflattering uniboob.  Speaking of sports bras...
  3. Exercise.  Always dangerous.  Some yoga positions are out, they're just too much in the way.  Jogging makes me pray that my underwire holds out.  Push ups can actually be comical.  I prefer to avoid it as much as possible.
  4. Eating.  It doesn't matter how careful I am, dusting off the chest is a necessary step.  If anything has crumbs, forget about it.  Speaking of crumbs...
  5. Digging things out of your cleavage.  Crumbs, of course.  My dogs' hair, nice. My earring back, so that's where that went.  Is that a lego?  WTF?  Lol
  6. My eyes.  A lot of people don't notice that I have green eyes.
  7. Bras.  Finding bras, especially pretty bras, in my size, is difficult, and expensive. Sigh.  While shopping once with Melanie and her teenage daughter, the teenager pointed to an ugly white, full coverage number, and said, "Wow!  That's HUGE!!"  I went over to said bra, looked at the tag, and sighed.  Yep, too small for me.  I wonder what she'd say if she ever saw one of my bras.
  8. Those cute little backless (therefore braless) shirts. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
  9. Strapless anything.  Danger!  Danger, Will Robinson!  Please strapless bra, don't become a belt.
  10. Demi bras.  I love them.  They're my favorite.  So pretty.  They do such sexy things to breasts.  Not mine.  My cupeth doth runneth over.  And don't even think of bending over!

10 Problems Only Girls With Junk in the Trunk Understand

  1. When shopping for jeans I finally find the perfect pair only to realize I can carry an entire child in the waist with me. 
  2. The low cut craze was designed to give big booty girls the plumbers crack. 
  3. You absolutely cannot order a two piece swim suit. Separates are a must.
  4. Skinny jean instructions: Step 1. insert left leg and tug as far as possible in an upward motion. Step 2. repeat step one with right leg. Step 3. Jump, wiggle, pull and tug. Step 4. Zip and button. Step 5. Grab waist band and pull some more. 
  5. Leggings are great. Until you realize they are stretched over your ass and everyone can see your panties.(same rules apply for yoga pants)
  6. Your ass can and will bump into things and knock them over. Please know this is not your fault.
  7. You have to watch what type of underwear or swim bottoms you are wearing. Either half your butt cheeks are hanging out of your swim suit or every time you bend over your ass eats your pants, dress,skirt or sweats. (same rule applies for yoga pants)
  8. Walking upstairs makes you terribly uncomfortable. Someones face is right in the tush.
  9. Husbands, boyfriend, children and pets all find the butt a handy pillow.
  10. Now matter how much the struggle is real people will always say "I would kill for that ass."

We are constantly saying that If we could take a little from my top, and put it on Melanie, and a little off her bottom, and put it on me, we'd be perfect!  We joke, but ladies, your curves are gorgeous!  Now, go flaunt them!
