Day Twenty-One of Our Quest

I found out that Mary Hunt, the author of Cheapskate monthly has a website that has tons of information available and a daily tip. Here is her Website!

Tea Around the World
Something that I have really enjoyed in the past is a website called Swap-Bot, on this website I have been swapping various items with partners all over the world for over a year. One of my favorite things to swap is tea! I have gotten some of the most amazing teas! Every evening from fall until spring, I have tea with my children. We get to try all different kinds together. Tonight we realized that we need to get some new varieties so we went on Swap-Bot and signed up for a couple of swaps! It is really fun to do this together because the children really enjoy receiving mail from all over the world!

Rainbow Crayon
Holden found the tip to make a big crayon by cleaning out a small flat can and using our broken crayon pieces to make a rainbow crayon.  When we get a nice amount of pieces in the can we melt the crayons in the oven at 250 degrees for 20 minutes or until it melts. Do not stir! Cool in the refrigerator and pop out!
