Happy Thanksgiving!

I just wanted to say that I am so grateful for my family. I'm glad I have the church in my life and that I can be sealed to my family forever! I know I say this a lot but I just don't know what I would do if it was just "till death do us part" it just breaks my heart. I love my family so much! I would miss them like crazy if I couldn't be with them forever!

I am also grateful for my wonderful friends! I know I can call them anytime and ask them to help me with anything and they would drop what they are doing and help me. I hope I am as good of a friend to them as they are to me!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

Tillman is getting so big! He loved to play with his rattle and he knows how to grab it when I shake it in front of him! :) I can't believe how fast he's growing up!





He loves doing this {I have no idea why}

Laundry

Saturday night Mandy and I decided to make home made laundry soap. I've been wanting to do this for awhile and I had all the ingredients to make it. So on Saturday we finally made it! It is so easy to make all you need to make it is Borax, Washing Soda, and Fels Naptha.
{you can only get Fels Naptha at Frys}

Ingredients:

1 Fels Naptha soap bar, grated
1 cup washing soda
1/2 cup borax

Instructions:

Grate the soap bar into a small saucepan. Cover with hot water. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring continually, until the soap completely dissolves.

Put washing soda and borax in a 5-gallon bucket. Pour in the hot, melted soap mixture. Stir well, until all the powder is dissolved. Fill the bucket to the top with more hot tap water. Stir, cover securely, and let set overnight. The next morning, stir the mixture. Mix equal amounts of soap concentrate and water in a smaller laundry-detergent dispenser or container. Shake before using.

For top-loading machines: Use 1 cup of the soap mixture per load.

For front-loading machines: Use 1/2 cup per load.
