Ada and Josie go through a lot of bubbles.  I got tired of buying a new bottle every week and wanted to try making our own bubble solution.  I found a great recipe in my new favorite magazine, Sweet Paul.  (How is it that I hadn’t discovered this beautiful magazine until recently?!)  Paul’s recipe for giant bubbles makes a large amount of bubble solution, which should last us for at least a few weeks around here.   We haven’t yet made the wand to produce giant bubbles, but the solution is perfect for refilling our numerous small containers.  This DIY refill solution works out to be much cheaper than buying individual bottles.  I used scented dish detergent and the long-lasting bubbles even smell nice.  Hooray for summer!
