This homemade herbal slime is guilt free! No toxins, borax free, no glue! Just 3 ingredients (one of them is water) and it's 100% edible! I'm a little late to the slime trend. I avoided it for so long because one it's messy and quite honestly.... with 5 kids, I just don't enjoy more mess. (I'm not one of those moms. I send my kids to Grandma's house for the messy crafts).

The idea of trying to keep her still while making sure he was relaxed was already worrying me a bit that morning. To add to what could have been an awful series events, upon arriving for the appointment
