I know that I have previously posted a recipe for laundry Detergent, but I have been given a new one that is SO easy!!! (I'm honestly not sure where the recipe originated...) It works great! My Mom made me two gallons when we moved because I had to wash everything that we stored. I have just made myself another gallon and it was so simple!
You will need:
1/4 c. Borax
1/3 c. Super Washing Soda
2 Tbsp. Dawn
Water
Sturdy Gallon Container (for liquids)
I filled the container about 1/4 full of HOT (really hot) water. Then I added the Borax and Washing Soda. Swirl the container around until the powders are dissolved. After the powders are dissolved add the 2 Tbsp. of Dawn, and then fill the container with water (temperature does not matter).
You're Done! Wasn't that easy!!
Use this just as you would any other liquid detergent! It has worked great on baby clothes, my clothes, my husbands work clothes and everything else I have needed to wash over the last month!
Let me know what you think!

Getting Settled
Well, for those who may not have know, we have moved!! It was certainly an experience! We put our house on the market and had a contract within a month. We had prepared ourselves to wait much longer because several homes in our neighborhood had been slow to sell. Since we were somewhat unprepared for the speed of the sell, we had not yet found a house to move into. We looked every chance we had - when my husband and I were both off work. But, the day came to move out and close and we were homeless! Thankfully we were able to stay with family (my husbands parents) while we continued to look for a house. We put all of our things in storage and packed our suitcases...
We finally found a house, and it was for sale by owner. We were so excited! It was a great house, closer to my family, and hubby's as well as being closer to hubby's work. We started on the process of putting a contract on the house, got inspections and so on. We got down to near time to close and kept hitting little hiccups...we were truly afraid we were going to have to start all over. However, the Lord answered our many prayers and we were able to close on our house! My wonderful Mom and I came over and began cleaning and lining cupboards immediately! Then, moving day was here - and it was a little chaotic! But, all of our things were once again in the same place we were, and we had our own bed to sleep in!
Fast forward about a month and a half and now we are settled in (for the most part) and unpacked (for the most part). Finally getting back into our routines and our way of life. So...all of that being said - be on the lookout for more postings from me. My mind is on craftiness and DIY overload! I have SEVERAL projects all lined up to do and share! I can't wait!
