Homade laundry soap and dishwasher soap

I found this great blog iamfrugal.blogspot.com and on it she has homemade soap. I thought I would give it a try. It was so easy to make I bought all my stuff at the local Winco for under $7. She has it all figures out that it is about $.01 per laundry load. Just to be sure it worked it I dirtied two identical rags with the same stuff and let them sit for two days. Ketchup, mustard, chocolate, oil, and permenant maker mostly just so I would know which was which. I washed them both with cold water using my old detergent (cheap winco stuff) and my new stuff. We thought that they were about equal in how much of the stain it brought out. Neither of them touched the oil, the chocolate was clean and the others were still slighly there. So I am using it. It was so easy to make and I have 2 gallons of soap now. The disherwasher detergent uses the same Borax and Super washing soda and it has worked just as well too. If anyone wants to try it before they buy, let me know, but I will charge you that penny that it does cost so this is no freebie. Haha. Check out the blog she has some amazing things on there. Have a good weekend.

Dr. switch

I switched Dr.s a few weeks ago. I like my new dr and do you want to know why? He said the most wonderful thing to me the other day. This is it "I will start you anytime after 39 weeks." All of our kids have been a week over. I always dream of having an on time baby but know that the chances are like haveing twins at the stage. It just isn't going to happen. P was 8lbs 10 oz I fear that this one is big too so my dr said we can start you. Music to my ears. I don't want to be too early that I have a horrible, long delivery but even the due date doesn't sound too bad at this point. We will see how it all plays out sure as I plan I will have him early. Yeah right. Oh well the thought that I could have almost 7 weeks and not almost 9 makes me giddy. I just really need to be patient because who knows what the plan really is, I for sure don't.
