New and Updated Kitchen Appliances!

Look what my awesome husband bought our family today. We originally went to buy a dishwasher, and we got a new stove too. Update in our kitchen appliances for sure! :)

Our Homemade Laundry Detergent

Homemade laundry detergent. We put it in a smaller container for easy access during laundry time, but we have the rest stored to use later. It's enough to do over FIVE HUNDRED loads for under $30.00. When you consider we was paying anywhere between $10 and $20 for enough laundry detergent to do less than 60 loads of laundry...this is a HUGE savings. It also smells great and we find that it actually gets laundry even cleaner than what we were using...Justin had a stain on one of his jeans...the store bought detergent we were using wouldn't get it out, but this stuff did...first try!
What We Used:
1 Box of Super Washing Soda 3 lb. 7 oz.  1 Box of Borax 4 lbs 12 oz. size  1 Box of Pure Baking Soda 4 lb.  3 bars of Fels-Naptha 5.5 oz. or use Ivory soap  1 container of Oxy-Clean 1.3 lb  *optional: Purex Crystals 28 oz. for scent (or use Downy unstoppables )
What We Did: 1. Grated the Fels-Naptha bars. 2. Combined and mixed well all of the above.
To Use: 1 to 2 Tablespoons per load of laundry

Christmas Decorations 2011!

So the night after Thanksgiving Justin, the kids, and I put some holiday tunes on and began decorating our home for this Christmas.  From wreaths to the Christmas tree we are all decorated.  We brought out treats, turned on Christmas music, and had such a fun time!

All Decorated!

So...the autumn/fall season is upon us and our home is all decorated!  I love to decorate for the holidays and as you will see in the photos below, we have decorations on the inside as well as the outside of our home.

We have matching scarecrows standing on each side of our doorway outside, a wreath hanging on our front door, a nice vase of fall colored leaves (and the vase is filled with rocks) for our kitchen table centerpience along with fall colored placemats on the kitchen table, a cute fall decoration in the corner of our kitchen cabinets and our home looks all colorful with the colors that autumn brings!  I just love to decorate and autumn is my favorite season to decorate with the colors it brings. I love it!
