Detergent

Thanks to my super sister in law, I have just made my own laundry detergent. I know, I know, you all are sooooo jealous. It is great. It is so cheap and easy. My clothes come out of the wash clean and fresh. No dyes, perfumes, or harsh chemicals. Just clean. Heres the recipe if any of you are dying to try it:

equal parts soda wash and borax

equal parts powder mixture and grated fells Naptha Bar (or Ivory soap)

for example: I used:

1 cup borax
1 cup soda wash
2 cups grated ivory soap

Use 2 Tablespoons per full load.

Ya, you're jealous.

Kids say the cutest things





So the girl comes out into the dining room where I am eating my lunch. I have been hearing the boy and the girl arguing in the bedroom, but could not hear the words. She had the saddest little expression on her face and with tears in her eye's told me:

"Mommy, the boy called me a lemontine!"

LOL




Then the other day the boy says to the man in the middle of the day,

"Daddy, when I am done with my daydream I will tell you what it's about"

About an hour later the man asks if he can tell him about it yet,

"Nope, it's not done yet"

Man they are cute.

When the boy wears shoes, but no socks, he calls it "going commando in my shoes"

When the girl doesn't want to wear shoes she says, "Mommy, I just wanted to wear my feet today."
