Ha! I got to sleep in today! Its 1 pm and I got up about 30 minutes ago. It felt GREAT to sleep in today. Husby is the one who called and woke me up.. Brittany slept in too and Jackson is watching a movie and playing with the cats. Hes been good from what I can tell! Brittany is a grump.. but thats nothing different for her.
No big plans for the day. Staying around the house and going to try to clean the dining room from top to bottom. I am amazed at how many little fingerprints are on the walls. Plus the baseboards are dusty.. so lots of work waiting on me. But its going to keep waiting until I am ready to get down there!
I also have a lot of time on my hands because husby is going to play golf. He wants us to go with him but I really should stay home and work around here. He is going to play at a super nice golf course tomorrow and he wants to practice some tonight. I don't mind except I am going to really miss him. ♥
I might work on making some homemade laundry soap today. I am going to really work hard towards making my own and saving money instead of dishing out really expensive soaps. I am a Tide girl.. I love Tide. But the homemade soap seems to work just as good if not better for a fraction of the price. I normally just use homemade laundry soap for towels, rugs, sheets, etc. and still wash our clothes in Tide. Well.. I think I am going to really focus on seeing how well my homemade laundry soap works on our good clothes. Should be interesting! I plan on going over making the soap step by step.. maybe even a video so you can try it too!
If you want to make it too.. start by gathering up these ingredients and I will post the step by step pictures and directions later next week!
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
3 empty gallon jugs/containers

Its pretty easy to make and I am really going to put it to the test with our clothes. Jackson's clothes are the dirtiest clothes in the house.. so if it can get them clean.. it will work on the rest of the clothes too! I use to use a different recipe that makes 5 gallons but that's a lot of laundry soap to make..the recipe I will be posting this next week makes 3 gallons. So a little more manageable!
Well its time for me to stop being lazy and get some work done around here.. and I will also be posting the weekly drugstore steals and deals later too! Stay tuned!
And.. here is some Saturday inspiration for ya!
