If you have never made homemade playdough, you should try it! It is so easy to do, and the texture is much better than store-bought. I mixed up a couple of batches for my daughter and her cousin yesterday when they were bored…and it entertained them for an hour. Make a batch of homemade playdough, put it in a cute bag and attach some accessories for a fun child’s gift!

Homemade Playdough

Boil 1 cup water. Then add:

1/4 c. salt
1 Tbl. alum powder
1 Tbl. baby oil
food coloring of your choice

Then stir in 1 c. flour. Add a little more if needed. Knead together. Cool and store in an air tight container.

Some of you may have already gotten in on this deal, but for those who haven’t, there is still time!

I was able to find the Scrabble Flash, Yahtzee Flash and Simon Flash games at my local Target on Price Cut down to $19.98.

There is a $5 off Hasbro Flash Game store coupon in the Target Holiday Toy Book that came out two weeks ago, or you can also find the same coupon at Target.com.

Combine that with a $5 off manufacturer’s coupon from Hasbro’s Facebook promo here.

Total: $9.98

[Note: The store coupons from the Target Holiday Toy book expire this Wednesday, Nov 23!]

Print this I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter All Purpose Sticks $1.50/1 coupon quickly, before it disappears!  These are $2.68 daily at my local Walmart, so just $1.18 after coupon.  These may be a better deal at your local grocery store.  Remember, you can print each coupon twice.

Thanksgiving is a great time, Families get together and rehash the ‘old days’, we eat and overeat, and shop. Its a great time, except for the one stuck in the kitchen. This year I’m planning ahead because I want to join in on the family fun. Here’s my menu and cooking schedule outline, maybe you can join me outside the kitchen.


The Recipes for this years feast:
Turkey: https://www.howtocookathanksgivingturkey.com/
Stuffing- in the crock pot
Mashed Potatoes- in the crock pot
Sour Cream Roll Fans
Green Bean Casserole
Sweet Potato Chips- in the microwave
Pickles: Just my home canned stuff from this summer, though the store bought ones would be yummy too.
Cranberry Sauce: I use the canned stuff, since we don’t really eat it. Its more for show on our table.
Pistachio Salad: We make ours minus the marshmallows
Grape Salad
Mac and Cheese, in the rice cooker: This is for the kids, I hate hearing “I don’t like that” on Thanksgiving day!
The pistachio salad and grape salad are the sweets we eat with dinner, we have pie as a before bed snack since everyone’s too full to eat it after dinner.
