Being All Homemaker-ish

 So in an effort to be all homemaker-ish we decided to give making our own laundry detergent a shot. It is actually quite simple and works great. To buy everything we needed to start up (like a borax, washing soda, a large pot and grater) it cost about 20 bucks. All the stuff lasts for quite awhile so we will be making this for quite awhile with that little amount of what we bought.

We got the recipe for the detergent here.

Enjoy some pictures from our adventure!

Grating the Soap

Cooking the Laundry Detergent

All in all it was a success. Due to having a smaller pot, we weren't able to add all of the water into the pot at the end, so our detergent is a little thicker than it probably should be.
