Can I make a request?
I love that Chicken Won Ton Salad that Mandy always makes.... YUM!
Plus, Cathy's pudding chocolate dessert. Um.... the ramen noodle chinese salad, and that pineapple frozen drink mixture!
We got some great cooks in this family! Thanks guys! Those are my favorites!

Homemade Laundry Soap
So I have been meaning to make this stuff for forever, but we all know how life goes and I wish I would have done it sooner! IT IS SOOO EASY! Me and Ry did it in less than a half hour. It was fun and Ry loved stirring the mixture, it smelled so fresh and clean. I borrowed the recipe from here It has great instructions. I also took some of my own pictures and have instructions.
WHAT YOU NEED:
1 4lb box BORAX
2 2lb box Arm and Hammer Baking Soda
1 box Arm and Hammer Washing Soda (3lbs 7 oz)
3 bars Fels-Naptha soap
1 container OxyClean or store brand(3.5 lbs)
Plus a crappy grater- I found one at Dollar Tree
And a 5 gallon bucket- I get my buckets from work (Smith's Bakery, frosting buckets) They usually just throw them away, so ask them if they have some!
Start by mixing all of the powdered ingredients in a 5 gallon bucket
Then take your grater and start grating your soap. This is the part that takes the longest, maybe 10 minutes MAX!
I just threw the grated soap into the bucket with everything else put the lid on TIGHT and let the kids push it around for a bit. They thought is was fun mixing it all up. This is what it looks like!
Use 1 tablespoon of detergent per load.
The OxyClean container came with a small scoop! (How convenient!)
All of this stuff I found just at Smith's either in the laundry isle and baking isle. Most was on the top shelf.
It was a GRAND Total of: $21.62 plus tax
Individual Prices:
BORAX- $5.19
Baking Soda- $1.89 x2
Washing Soda- $3.59
Fels-Naptha Soap- $1.69 x3
Store Brand OxyClean- $3.99 (Brand name was about $10)
Pretty good price!

Homemade Dishwasher Soap
So today we also made dishwasher soap too! I found the recipe here
It was fun too!
This is what you need:
2 cups BORAX
2 cups Arm and Hammer Washing Soda
2 cups Lemishine
1 cup Kosher Salt
So easy and smells lemony fresh :)
It does get hard so you need to stir it over a few days so it doesn't become a brick!
Use 1 tablespoon per load
Makes 112 loads!
