I finally made the laundry soap from the recipe I found here a couple weeks ago. The soap is super inexpensive (compared with regular laundry soap), and easy to make!! For anyone interested, these are the things you'll need to gather to make the soap:
*1 bar of soap (any kind you want) *1 cup of Borax *1 cup of washing soda *a big pot ( that holds more than 2 gallons) *a grater *a funnel *a long spoon *2 empty gallon jugs/containers  |
These are the three ingrediants. You grate the bar of soap into
a large pan, add one gallon of water and melt the soap. Once the soap is
melted, you add one cup of the washing soda and borax each, and
then bring to a boil. Add one gallon of cool water, and then use a funnel
to pour into your 2 gallon jugs.

You made the soap! I'm so excited! I was going to ask you about that - see if you wanted to do it on the same weekend (and pretend we were doing it together). I can't wait to try it. Everything else looks great - especially Derrick doing the laundry - haha! :)
Aw, that would have been fun to make soap together (via imagination or during a phone call)! :) hehe- I love how your brain works!
I like the soap a lot- we used it for all our laundry this weekend and it did a great job.
And seriously, my husband folding laundry pulls some serious heart strings for me! <3
It just brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it? :)
BTW, your floors are beautiful. :) I love the picture of Annikan outside the front door. It looks ominous - like there will be trouble if somebody doesn't let him in!
Haha- he does look like a complete villain out there. I have to laugh every time I see that silhouette:) His power of evil would primarily be revenge vomiting at will, but he is also sufficient at waking us up at three in the morning with obnoxious meowing- pretty sure his plan is to kill us slowly with nausea and sleep deprivation:)
Also, thanks about the new floors!! :)))
