What’s going on in the Gidget household, you ask? Both kids are quiet for one thing (have I mentioned what a lifesaver LeapPad is?) after a not-so-pleasant grocery run. We did have a lovely morning at our new favorite place, though, the San Diego Botanical Garden. Oh, and the photo above is from our blueberry picking escapade last week. So fun!
But anyway, I just wanted to share what’s on the homemade docket around here…
- Last weekend, I made a variation of this homemade laundry soap. So far so good! It took me forever to grate my soap with the microplane zester/grater but it’s going to be WAY cheaper than the natural stuff I was buying.
This week I’m planning on making:
- homemade yogurt {in the crock pot!}
- a new version of Strawberry Freezer Jam
- a concoction of my own of Blueberry Honey Ice Cream (recipe to follow if it turns out tasty!)
- homemade honey whole wheat bread {to avoid another grocery trip and save some dough (get it? dough? bread?):)}
- hopefully more memory verse kits {2 kits currently listed} and something new and fun for the shop

Your homemade list reads like mine! All about saving the dough and homemade is just better!
Where did you buy the soda ash and borax for your detergent?

I bought them both on http://www.alice.com. Free shipping if you order 6 items or more. I have bought Borax at Walmart before, but not sure if they sell the washing soda. Right now, shopping online is my best friend!
Also, just to clarify, I only had 1 bar of soap on hand (SouleMama’s recipe called for 1.5, so I used 2/3 cup of the other stuff instead of a full cup). I used Dr. Bronner’s lavender castille soap for mine.
Make sure to pick out the pieces of flesh that you grate into the detergent…
