Airing the dirty laundry....

Today I was also able to make my second batch of homemade laundry soap that I found on, yup you guessed it pinterest, so i "followed that pin" and it brought me to http://thewhitesilkpurse.blogspot.com .  I was so surprised at how easy it was and how pretty too.  My first batch was made with Fels Naptha but today i made it with Zote, the big pink soap  bar in the laundry section of any grocery store.  Making my own soap has saved me a lot of money so far and i haven't bought laundry soap since April!!!!

Ahhhh Summer!!!

Well, it's summer and that means our days are longer and our wallets a little lighter.  Now that all the kids are home from school, I can no longer depend on school lunches to feed these growing boys of mine, they are happy about that, but it does require a little more budgeting on my part, which isn't all bad because it does give me a chance to  try out some new recipes (now that all the guinea pigs are home).  Today I'm making, for the very first time,  pita bread and homemade hummus (wish me luck) and  like I say it if they are hungry they will eat it.  I found the recipes for the hummus and pita bread on pinterest so i followed that pin Right to http://www.underthehighchair.com. I am a a very visual person so i love how pinterest is bringing me to these awesome blogs with amazing recipes, with no words, only pictures.
