Homemade

It's been my personal observation (and I could be wrong) that more and more people seem to be regressing to some of the practices of the past. While we have so much technology, I still feel like there are some things that people seem to be going "old school" on.

I for one am catching on to this little trend (is it a trend? i don't know...). For example with our child I plan to breast feed (something that for awhile was fairly uncommon), use cloth diapers and make my own baby food. Recently Barbie mentioned that she had found a recipe to make homemade laundry detergent and I was all about trying it out!

Yesterday we met at her house and gave it a shot. For about $10.00 (well, $10.00 for the first batch - about $2.00 every time after) we will have TEN GALLONS of laundry between the two of us! It seriously only took like... 10 minutes?

After we were done, it needed to sit overnight to thicken and then we will add water to the mixture to get our ten gallons. I'm very eager to see how it turned out! I'm even more excited to actually use it to see how it works. I still have a good bit of my store bought detergent to use but I'll be sure to post on how it worked out!
