At what age is it when Slime starts to get boring?

Because I have slime stains on my new couch, and I'm a little mad.

In 2020, other than that other thing that happened, another thing kind of popped up. People were stuck at home with nothing to do, and you know better than anyone that there are some REAL TINKERERS out there.

So, someone, I can't say who, thought it would be a really good idea to mix Elmer's Glue and shaving cream with some "activator" liquid (I still don't know what it is) and make slime.

At first, I loved it!

I mean, look at it! It's slime!

Back in the day, like the early 2000s, the big thing was "Floam." Remember Floam? Sure, you do if you're over 30!

Floam was this hard, stretch, almost slime-like substance that you could stick on things and make look a little bit more colorful. It wasn't like the slime we see today, where it's soupy and sticky, and viscous, and other liquid names I don't want to spell without Grammarly.

But Floam came and went.

And in its ashes, slime came around. And boy, did it rise form the ashes.

I've seen Etsy shop upon Etsy shop selling slime upon slime in every color, "flavor," scent, bead, charm, glitter, soap, whatever you want to put IN it, they were selling it. And yes, I got bit by the bug. I know you did, too; that's why you're reading this.

You caved and bought slime for your children and now you're reaping what you sowed. Slime in the hair, slime on the clothes that don't wash out all the way, slime on your upholstered furnature, slime on the walls, slime in the sink drain and now it's all stopped up, the list is endless.

I speak from harsh experience.

I want to know at what point slime stops becoming alluring.

Now, let's be a little fair and realistic. My son is autistic and killing it, and he LOVES slime. Loves it. He loves it more than me, I think. I don't think there is ever going to be a moment in time where he doesn't love slime. So, in that effect, I lose no matter what.

BUT MY DAUGHTER IS 11.

Like, what's the cut-off point? When can I say it enough is enough? And you know what? Buying slime is cheaper than buying Robux every week. Have you ever bought Robux every week? It's brutal! Slime is only, like, a couple bucks, and Robux is like $25 for a cheaper card!

In summation:

I hate it here.

I want the slime gone from my house. I want to know from you guys reading, if you have older kids, when did you phase slime out of the house. I know ONE OF YOU know something. Please share it in the comments below!

All the best,

Shaine Smith

Humble Beginnings🌿

I've tried to make blogs before

The thing is, I never have anything to talk about. And when I do have something to talk about, it's usually very personal and not engaging.

So I thought, why not just make a personal journal blog?

It's simple to make. I write about my day daily, expressing all my feelings so everyone can also look inside my personal life.

I won't go into the nitty gritty depths of everything in my life. For example, I'm not going to timestamp you on when I went to the bathroom every day, but I do look forward to sharing my story, my experiences, and my life with you all to give you some insight.

On top of my journal...

I plan to have a food blog, a travel blog, and a Housekeeping blog for you all to enjoy. And who knows, I might even dabble in YouTube (but I'll need an editor because I am so bad at editing my videos).

I want to introduce myself a little bit.

My name is Shaine Smith. I'm 32 years old when writing this journal entry, and I'm a homemaker. I have two children, Remilia and Auron, and I'm married to Cody Smith, a Surface Warfare Officer in the United States Navy.

I can't say I haven't tried it all, though. Copywriting, dropshipping, High Ticket Sales, Hell, I've even tried making video games. Nothing worked out.

I think it was on the drive home today from the doctor's office (my son had to get three shots and his blood drawn, and he was very, very brave) that I realized I know what I am and who I am.

I'm a housewife.

I always have been and always will be. And I need to embrace it head-on. I want people to know that I have 12 years of Homemaking experience, and with the other ventures, where I only had months of experience, I have SO MUCH capital in the Homemaking space. I know what I'm doing, what works and what doesn't, and I'm finally ready to launch this blog and tell others about my journey!

I hope you have a wonderful time here and I hope my journal, blog, and other things I share is helpful to you and your peace of mind! I will share uplifting stories, thoughts on things that have happened with me and my family, and anything else that comes to mind.

The only other thing I want to mention...

I WILL be using affiliate codes and links in some of my blog posts to garner revenue. Obviously, you don't HAVE to click or buy anything, but if anything resonates with you and you happen to click and buy something off of my blog, know I will take a cut of that sale.

I want to keep it a buck with everyone. This blog IS a way to express myself, but I have to make money SOMEWHERE or I will go insane. Thanks for letting me get that out.

In Summation,

I want to thank you for letting me be here and allow me to get my words out. There will be good times, there will be bad. That's life, and I'm ready to share mine.

All the best!

Shaine Smith❤️
