      that girl in okc silica exists in clay and exposure to it (superfine dust particles that the naked eye can’t see), can lead to silicosis (google it). just because something is “natural” doesn’t mean it’s safe. that said, the exposure for both the clay dust and aluminum dust at this level is probably not the worst thing if only done once but a respirator that blocks .3 microns is recommended. 👍🏽

I love seeing you do all of these great activities with them, teaching them all kinds of things from cooking to crafts and seeing their excitement to be involved and learn new things.
    It makes me so happy to be able to watch them grow and learn with you, it's absolutely beautiful. You are raising two wonderful young men who are going to grow up with a fascination for the world around them. You're an absolutely amazing parent, your boys are so lucky to have such a wonderful mom to show them all these great things. Even finding clay is a fun adventure and even just rolling a clay ball on a bottle is a fascinating experiment. It just brings me so much joy to see your boys' excitement to play, learn and make things. Just like their mom.

    I was just recently watching another one of your videos and it occurred to me that you are an extremely busy lady. You are making and uploading three videos a week, running your other channel, posting to various social media accounts, researching and creating your videos, and taking care of two kids and your bees and everything else in between. So it’s coincidental you mention in this video you’re needing stress relief.
    As a single (divorced) mom to two teenagers who is doing everything alone, I need to take some pages from your book. Maybe I too need to make a shiny mud ball and just zone out and let the stress melt away (or try to). It beats furrowing my brows and pulling out my hair. lol You’re definitely inspiring!

    This left me with so many curious questions! Does it feel like a rock? Does it harden like one? Do you have to re-polish it every once in a while or it starts to get dull? Is it as dense as a rock, in the sense of being hard to break if it drops? (Although I'd be a little heartbroken if it broke in the attempt.)

We used to love making things out of clay. My Dad being an illustrator and very good at making things would make clay Dinosaurs for us to play with. I remember he also made a kind of landscape out of bits and pieces with the clay for us to play dinosaurs versus cavemen. Somehow cowboys, Indians and a London bus ended up in the mix, but as you know with kids just about anything goes!! Just loving the videos. 😂😂😂❤️

    Hey Emmy, so I tried the aluminum ball and here are my tips:
    1. Gloves and place mat. When you’re polishing it, aluminum dust gets all over your hand and and the things around you and it’s healthy in that form.
    2. Be amazed. The finished product will blow your mind😁 even though you’ve seen it be done before, haveing it in your hands is great.
    ( but i threw mine away because i had no where to put it😂)

    I want to see you do the aluminum ball because I think you'll be the only youtuber that "tried" it to actually give it a respectable try and show the artform justice because that is your way.
    Also the snippets with your boys always warm my heart, I remember when you were still carrying your first little one ♥

    I'm not crying watching your boys growing up, no, not at all. 😭 How absolutely precious are they? You have such a beautiful family, and I give you all of the respect for keeping them anonymous. 💜 Would you ever include them in your videos if they wanted to be in one?

      Yes, Adam and _Jamie_ used dung. Lion's dung specifically I believe.
      And they weren't allowed to say "turd" on TV, so they had to say "polish poo".

    I live in western Pennsylvania and am an avid flower gardener. I swear my entire acre is clay with a couple inches of soil on top. I have hauled wheelbarrow loads of clay into the woods so I could add potting soil to the ground to grow my plants. If you every want LOTS of clay, I can hook you up! LOL Your family is adorable btw!

    The aluminum ball has been so over done and is such a waste of aluminum foil.
