So it's been a while since I posted and I thought I would update what has been going on in my life right now.
Pat and I are buying a house! We found a house a few weeks ago in Columbia City that we just fell in love with that was just a little over our price range but we can make it work. We have been waiting for them to de-winterize the house and turn the water back on so we can do our home inspection. They finally got that done on Monday so Thursday is the inspection. I can't wait. I hope nothing to major comes up and everything checks out just fine
So since we are moving into our own home I have been trying to come up with ways that we can save money. I thought I would try and start blogging about ways that I'm saving money in hopes to help others save some money as well.
One thing I did was start making my own laundry soap. I used the Duggar's family recipe found here. I did add a little lavender and tea tree oil to mine for some sent. I have read that whites don't come out very white and can start looking a little dingy with this but have also read that people just add some oxy boost and it fixes that problem (just add to your whites load).
One batch will make 10 gal of laundry soap. I don't think I will need to make/buy any for a while :)
So that's my tip for today on saving money. Making your own laundry soap. It's super easy, and comes out to cost about .02 a load to wash. :)
