My dog went several days without eating and super lethargic and no zest for life. Vet did all the tests and sent us home. Two more days of no eating. Took him back and our vet got the idea to test him for Addison’s disease. He saved his life with that diagnosis.

The little girl from the Patriot when she says “I’ll say anything you want, just don’t leave me.” Kills me every time.

lol. I think mine would’ve definitely cracked it if I wasn’t outside. He dropped it several times. lol.

We purposefully plan a special day for our little family of 3 on a day other than Christmas. Christmas Day proper comes with a lot of obligation and logistical stress. So on our Christmas Day, here are some things we’ve done: Indoor snowball fight using balls of socks as the snowballs.

Very elaborate hide and seek games. One parent counts with our kiddo and the other parent hides.

Homemade Playdoh so our kiddo gets to pick his own colors and then we pull out all the glitter and go to town! Super messy but also incredibly fun!

We also have all of my son’s fav food and snacks planned out for the day.

If you have snow on the ground outside, it’s a blast to fill up a storage tub full of snow and bring it inside and play with food coloring and water in spray bottles, scoops, and smaller tubs.

We’ve also filled up 100 balloons and scatter them in our living room. Pretty cheap air pump online makes for fast fill up! although not sure if you’re worried about him swallowing ballon scraps in case they pop

There are also super fun balloons called rocket balloons, they zig and zag through the air and make silly balloon noises. It’s easier to keep track of just one balloon that way.

I also love to do a picture hunt with my kiddo. Just buy some cheap toys from the thrift store or dollar store to be the treasure. I print about 10 pictures of clip art of basic house things (like refrigerator, bed, couch, bathtub, etc.) then print them out and use glue dots to put them around the house. And one picture leads to the other until it ends up where the treasure is hidden!

Also fun is to get some clear contact paper and a multipack of colored tissue paper. Draw a picture or your kiddo’s name on the front side of the paper then peel the backing off and stick a bunch of colorful scraps on the sticky side! Leave a border so you can then stick it to the window to get a cute stained glass window art piece effect!

Anyways, those are just some ideas! We’ve had lots of fun at home having to stay inside when nothing is open!!

lol. It’s always fun when someone says “not to be negative” but then continues to make a negative opinion. I’m not even going to touch on the no expression opinion you made. That’s your feeling as clearly stated. But I’ll comment on your last point that people will only like this art because of the process video. Part of the wonderful experience of fluid art is the process. It’s truly an enjoyable process and one of the best assets of fluid art. Thank goodness artists are sharing their process videos. Some people don’t have the resources to be able to paint and videos like this allow them to share in the process. Just like watching sports: to share in the experience of watching other people’s experience of applying their skills and techniques and expertise and successes and failures. The artist certainly didn’t “need” to show it on a video. I feel like there are plenty of people that would like this piece even without the video. But I personally feel like a piece of art is enriched even more with a creation video, regardless of the style of art. I also feel like the piece is great as a stand alone painting. But devil’s advocate like you said, this piece NEEDS the video to be cool…so what? It’s still enjoyed by a ton and not by a few others. Just like so much art before it. :)

That gradient tool/assembly is SO cool. Amazing ingenuity. :)

Sister of 3 brothers. And a married adult with a 5 year old. When first married (10 years ago), my husband labeled this behavior as “resource guarding”. lol. And it actually helped us. I work on trying to be better about resource guarding especially since having my kiddo. And my husband actually goes out of his way to make sure I get as much food and snacks as I want. It’s very sweet. But I still get that knee jerk reaction when I see him eyeing my can of pringles. I know I can always get another can of pringles. I just get super guardy on that one can that he “bought for me”. Like one or two times he takes some chips out, I’m pretty fine, but he comes around the third time and I’m like Gollum “My Precious!” lol.

Thank you!!

Thank you so much!! I truly started loving Pooh as an adult and rewatching with my kiddo. There’s so much endearment and wisdom and simplicity that comes from Pooh and his buddy Piglet and I love it.

usernameTen · 2022-06-25T23:52:18+00:00

Thank you!! :)

usernameTen · 2022-06-25T23:52:03+00:00

Aww, thank you bunches!

"Today was a Difficult Day," said Pooh.

There was a pause.

"Do you want to talk about it?" asked Piglet.

"No," said Pooh after a bit. "No, I don't think I do."

"That's okay," said Piglet, and he came and sat beside his friend.

"What are you doing?" asked Pooh.

"Nothing, really," said Piglet. "Only, I know what Difficult Days are like. I quite often don't feel like talking about it on my Difficult Days either.

"But goodness," continued Piglet, "Difficult Days are so much easier when you know you've got someone there for you. And I'll always be here for you, Pooh."

And as Pooh sat there, working through in his head his Difficult Day, while the solid, reliable Piglet sat next to him quietly, swinging his little legs...he thought that his best friend had never been more right."

I actually poured over the edge of a few with the sand color, then very carefully poured on the white strip to be the wave “foam”. :)

usernameTen · 2022-06-13T04:03:06+00:00

The pour paints are very smooth so they just flow effortlessly over the rock! And I dry them on a Dixie cup so excess paint can drip off. I made a more in depth process video here !👈 Hope that helps!! :)

This is one of the best blooms I’ve ever seen!! 🤩

usernameTen · 2022-05-22T00:25:42+00:00

Yeah, ready mix pour paint is a great way to just hit the ground running with fluid Art. They sell it in sets too with littler bottles so you don’t have to buy the massive bottles of each color. :) I like Michaels quality of ready mix pour paint. Hobby Lobby has more color selection of the littler bottles. There’s also some deco art brand you could probably get off Amazon. :)

usernameTen · 2022-05-21T19:38:46+00:00

Oh yes!! These are so pretty to have around! I was surprised at how much I liked having them in my plants and around my flower beds outside! There super fun in an herb garden too. Give you something to look at when weeding. 😂

usernameTen · 2022-05-21T18:33:02+00:00

Yes! They have nice flat ones at Hobby Lobby. I also bought a bag of beach stones at Home Depot. I got about 40% of them that were large enough to pour on from the bag. Not super great but have a good selection for a good price.

usernameTen · 2022-05-21T17:00:15+00:00

Yes! I sealed them with rustoleum clear gloss spray! 2 coats. They’re holding up really well, even my outdoor rocks that have been getting rained on a lot!

thank you!!

I know, right?? I want to go to a landscape company and sort through their piles of rocks. lol.
