Day 24: 31 Days of Pinterest: Glowing Bubbles

This is another early pin I pinned when I began using Pinterest and was so excited to try out!  Tonight the kids and I went to the Drive-in to see Brave and brought this along... what a perfect setting to have some glowing bubbles!

Glowing Bubbles

All you need are bubbles, glow sticks (I used four for each jar of bubbles), and a pair of scissors to cut the sticks open.  


Cut open the glow sticks and dump in the contents.  I found you need to cut one end, then hold that end over the bubbles while cutting the opposite end to make a straw so the liquid flows right out.  


I did the first two containers, but when I tried to blow a bubble, even though it was still pretty light, it just didn't look like they were glowing AT ALL.  So with the last container I dumped out half the bubbles before adding the liquid (above).  You can see that the liquid glows bright in the bubbles, but when mixed and blown, the bubbles DO NOT GLOW.


We even waited until it got quite dark and then tried once more when it was pitch black, but NO GLOW.

Original pin found HERE.

FAILED to be a pin that works! :(

About Me

I am a single mom to four amazing kids; each of whom just happen to have been adopted. The first three were adopted through foster care, and we just completed an international adoption from Haiti. Our family has grown through adoption and I am all the more blessed to know each of my children. I worship a mighty God, teach Special Ed, love bargains, and am inspired by Pinterest... come along with us for the ride!

What you should know about HIV

-HIV can NOT be spread through casual/household contact. HIV is not spread through hugging, kissing, shaking hands, sharing toys, sneezing, coughing, sharing food, sharing drinks, bathing, swimming or any other casual way. It has been proven that HIV and AIDS can only be spread through sexual contact, birth, breastfeeding and blood to blood contact (such as sharing needles). - HIV is now considered a chronic but manageable disease. With treatment, people who are HIV+ can live indefinitely without developing AIDS and can live long and full lives. - People who are HIV+ deserve to be treated with love, respect, support and acceptance as all people do. Additional information on transmission of HIV can be found on the Center for Disease Control website: http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/resources

Little Did I Know

Little did I know that the road would be so rocky
Little did I know that the trip would take so long
Little did I know that my heart could hurt so much
Little did I know that God is never wrong

Little did I know that love could be so powerful
Little did I know that a dream so far could go
Little did I know that God would place the right ones
Little did I know that my heart, so large, could grow

Little did I know that a dream has it’s own timing
Little did I know that this day would finally come
Little did I know that four souls would be sent to guide me
Little did I know that they would choose to call me mom

But God knew all along and He had a plan to follow
God knew all along that my dream would soon come true
God knew all along that we five should be together
God knew all along that I’d share it all with you
