I'm Kristin.  I am a wife, designer, Christian and for now a SAHM.  My husband and I are parents to three kids- Dylan Archer, Kyler Jude and Noelle Rose. Despite the name, this isn’t a mommy blog and you won’t find sponsored content here. Ultimately my goal is to leave it as a legacy to my children and possibly anyone else who wishes to follow my journey. This little corner of the web documents my family's adventures and lessons I've learned along the way.  The Mom Jungle is a modern interpretation of both the family newsletter and scrapbook.  

I call this The Mom Jungle because motherhood is fun and messy, filled with laughter and sometimes heartache… it truly is a jungle out there!

Gingerbread Playdough

Gingerbread Playdough

THE MOM JUNGLE

On Wednesday it was a blustery day. With the temperatures dipping, wind wildly whipping and snow falling, we needed some indoor fun. However; with all the treats this time of year, I was looking for a holiday themed activity that did not involve sugar. Homemade gingerbread playdough was a hit and you probably already have these ingredients in your pantry!

GINGERBREAD PLAYDOUGH

YOU WILL NEED:

  • 2 cups flour

  • 1 cup salt

  • 1 TB ground ginger

  • 2 TB cinnamon

  • 2 TB veggie oil

  • 1 cup water

Mix dry ingredients together and stir. Next add the oil and slowly add water as you stir. Knead to form a ball of dough. Kyler helped make the dough and had a blast!

*As this recipe contains no cream of tartar, I only plan to keep this around for a couple weeks over the holidays. Store in an airtight container and refrigerate.
