Home made Laundry Soap


 Hello
First task this morning was to make laundry soap.
With lots of laundry to do It was a must.
I had finished all the children s thing but needed our things done.

In the food processor I greated a bar of soap.
I used the pink this time.
I better go fetch some more of these bars for they can be hard to find.
Best place is a Hispanic store.

Melt is in a quort of hot water slowly.
ake sure it is all melted
 
 Like my new bucket?
It has wheels and a insert for the cleaners and such.
Here I put 3/4 full in a 4 gallon bucket of VERY hot water.
One half Cup of each borax and wuaper washing soda (found in the laundry isle)
Now these allone are around $5 each but they go a very very long way.
 
 Once all is melted carefully pour the hot soap into the water stir, then add the borax and soda.
I measured it into the ceramic.
(That was spun on a wheel years ago) I wish sometimes I could do that art again.
Stir...
Heads up!
It will thicken drascally before this is all said and done.
Don't panic if it looks watery.
Leave a bit of head room because this will need to be shaken free as you open it. It really does thicken up.
 
 $2.00
Worth of the very best laundry soap.
No softer is ever needed.

45 minutes labor.
I just made well over $40. for me efforts, or should I say saved my family that income.

• how to be self-controlled
• how to be pure
• how to be keepers at home
• how to be kind and submissive (not subservient) to their own husbands. (See Titus 2:3-5)

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"
