The smile on his face, the moment we take in together, the memories we get to make, the things he will remember later in life, as he talks to people about these times with mama… they would not happen if we purchased the store bought stuff.
Homemade play dough is such a simple thing to make, and the process of creating it together is what brings the cozy memories. It allows us to slow down, and simply be.
Not only is it simple to make, but it’s natural, and I know exactly what ingredients are going in to the play dough.
We absolutely love adding in our Young Living Essential Oils, to support our wellness and emotions, as well as enhance our senses. The more senses that are brought in to a moment, the greater a chance that a memory will be created.
These are the good old days, and I will savor the simple moments!
