This week we had a couple of firsts. We decided to make laundry detergent. We have washed a few loads so far and we are very impressed! We are hoping to really save some money this way. We also would like to brag on Jackson. Just today he had finished his lunch and I was in the kitchen cleaning up and I heard him praying. I look over and he has his eyes closed and he says "Dear Jesus, love you! AMEN!!" I was so excited and was reminded that staying at home with him is what I am supposed to be doing at this point!!
Our homemade detergent!! SO EASY!!
Grate 3 bars of ivory soap into 1 quart water. Heat until COMPLETELY melted!
In large bucket(2.5-5 gallon)
Combine: 2 cups of Borax
2 cups Arm & Hammer washing soda
2 gallons of water
Ivory soap-melted mixture
Stir with whisk until thicken
edUse 1/4 cup per load

Erin, what a sweet story about Jackson. What's so awesome is how real that is! What a blessing to see how God is working in Jackson's life! I just can't even imagine the pleasure God had from hearing Jackson's sweet words! Thanks for sharing!
Erin, loved your post. It encouraged me! Sometimes I feel very selfish that I am staying home with Audrie especially in our current financial situation. But I know that it is what is best for our family. I know its not for everyones but it is really important to me.
I also like that you make your own detergent! Thats crazy! I am not that brave yet, maybe one day!
