Homemade

Two things....

One...a number of weeks ago, we made our own laundry detergent. I don't know what has gotten into me....first homemade baby food....now homemade laundry detergent. Here are the items we used....

and here is what is looks like...

No, it doesn't have a scent - I am scared to buy an oil online because I am afraid I wouldn't like the smell for my laundry. In the bucket, it smells like I.vory, but the laundry doesn't have a scent.

I found the recipe here: http://www.thefamilyhomestead.com/laundrysoap.htm

Second - Robert can dress up for Halloween at work today. He was going to so as this made up superhero, but Allison and I thought his idea was kind of silly. We kept trying to get him to do something else - like make a "P" for his shirt and use makeup to blacken one of his eyes to be a black eyed "P" - but he wouldn't go for it. We recently purchased a new printer and still have the box so he wanted to go as a printer box. Creative. But, Allison found an idea to use the box - a rubi.x cube. I had colored paper, we used electrical tape to define the spaces and voila - a homemade costume. Enjoy the process:
