I have pinned a lot of cool things that aren't on my blog yet but hopefully will be some day.  Total awesomeness like how to freeze beans and how to make butter.  I know, earth shattering stuff.

How To: Make Bubble Solution

With summer coming, I have been searching for fun CHEAP things to do outside with Eli.

One thing he loves is bubbles!  I bought a bubble blowing machine (powered with rechargeable batteries) that fills the backyard with bubbles - without me having to sit there and blow them all myself.

The first time I used it I realized it could get expensive to refill it every day with store-bought bubble solution ($2 a bottle).  There must be a better way!

I found this recipe to make your own bubble solution - it works great and you can make gallons and gallons of bubble solution for maybe $3!

Mix together gently:

• 1/4 cup dish soap (50 cents for a small bottle if you have a coupon and it is on sale)
• 3/4 cup cold water
• 5 drops of glycerin (I bought this one from Amazon for $2.29) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000VMAF2/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details

It seems to store well and the bubbles are strong and smell yummy!
