OUR Dirty Laundry, Not so dirty. Thanks to a Kneatfreak!

I recently read a blogger's site about a homemade laundry detergent.   Now I have a Pinterest  account, but I never actually did any of the homemade or holistic remedies on it.  My boards are so filled up right now with " to do"  projects.

This recipe for laundry detergent has been popping up on my feed for about four months now.   I would look it over but I would never pitch any of my boards.   I mean, I am not a manufacturer many sorts and I thought is easier just buying the detergent from the store.

If you have not read my blog for a long time; you may have read I was in accident last year.   Now I cannot go on all the details about the accident, but it  has been a bit of a struggle.  We start cutting corners with all the luxury items (ie Going out to eat, Lush, the feel-good stuff).  We had a savings account,  and that us afloat for a little while.   I kept looking at our expenses vs. our needs.   The more more got into trying to balance a household on a fixed income.  The more depressed I become.   The depression got to the point of the depression actually won.    That is enough about me.

I want to talk about this laundry detergent.  I was skeptical first,   But having a person like Kneatfreak actually trying it first swayed me little. You have know Kneatfreak to understand the ramifications of this situation.   This woman is a cleaning domestic goddess.  She makes cupcakes and cookies,  she drops off  CARE PACKAGES to people who feel down, she organizes events for kids of all ages, and she is an all-around great mom.   She is the 2010's June Cleaver.

So I told the hubs, "I cannot keep spending $20 bucks a week to do laundry." Yes,  we have boys and they are very dirty and a change of clothes constantly.   So off to a big retail store we went.  I really thought there was going to be an issue in finding all of the ingredients.  I WAS SO WRONG!  have you ever gone to the store and thought, "there is no way to have this?"   And there it is right on the shelf.  They start going to different stores, and you find the same thing in different stores.  Well, this would happen us.

THE INGREDIENTS ARE EVERYWHERE!  

Below is a link for the recipe  straight from Pinterest.  Enjoy.
