Best of 2012 - Glowing Fun!

Happy New Year!  It has been quiet around here.  I took a much needed holiday break, and I'm ready to dive into 2013 with fresh ideas.  Before I start sharing what we've been up to, let's take a look at the best of 2012.

I started blogging at the end of 2011, so 2012 was a significant year for me.  I found my "voice" as a blogger and built a following.  I appreciate each and every one of you who takes the time to read what I write.  Writing has always been something I love, and it is a pleasure to combine writing with my greatest passion:  parenting.

My most popular post of 2012 and of all time is my Glow Water and Glowing Waterbeads post.

In addition to water beads we have enjoyed making the following GLOW:

• Ice
• Paint
• Clean Mud
• Jello
• Aliens
• Oobleck
• Secret Message

I have teamed up with my favorite kid bloggers to bring you The Very Best Kids Activities from 2012.
