the weather is finally warming up, and i have a feeling we will be spending all of our time outdoors from now on!

my children love to blow bubbles, so we pulled out some items we already had in our house, and we made our own homemade bubble solution, along with some bubble blowers and wands!

it is so easy to make, and you can be blowing bubbles in no time!
