I think it's safe to assume that EVERYONE is interested in my life......HAHA!
I guess we'll see how it goes. So far, I've been very overwhelmed by all of my blogging options. I mean, picking a background was stressful enough-- but then a layout... and then adding gadgets (WHAT?!) and then font... and then color of font ....and then trying to change the font but forgetting where you changed it in the first place... and loads of other things....I'm worn out just thinking about it.
Speaking of loads reminds me of laundry. I made laundry detergent today. It's pretty much brilliant. It's fast, easy, healthy, AND cheaper than store bought detergent. And if you know me, you know I am cheap. And if you know me, you know I talk healthy.... no matter what I eat. (I did not just eat a cookie....)
Back to laundry....
Here is what happens when you put soap in the microwave.
you make CLOUDS!.... well, at least that's what I told Caleb.
After a little microwaved soap, washing soda, and borax mixed up in my vitamix, I ended up with a nice, big applesauce container full of detergent.
Isn't it positively beautiful!?
The only bad part about it was inhaling the detergent as the smoke came out of the vitamix. I'm still coughing...and my nose is running. I'm not sure if that's related or not. Whatever. It was TOTALLY worth it.
LOVE that you're blogging again....I've only been your fan since like FOREVER. :) You are officially bookmarked. ;)
ReplyDeleteLOL Melly, this blog will be brilliant, I just know it. Now that you started one, it occurs to me that this should have happened years ago. :)
ReplyDeletep.s. You should post your detergent recipe.
A Melanie blog... I LOVE it!! You write how you talk and that is perfect because you ALWAYS make me laugh =). WHERE do you find this so called BORAX? I've seen it before in laundry detergent recipes and haven't ACTUALLy looked for it... is it it a pretty common, say, Walmart, item?
ReplyDeleteBorax is SUPER common in the detergent aisle. Washing soda is harder to find. They have it at Walmart out here.... But that is the first time i've seen it.
ReplyDeleteRobin- A bar of soap in the microwave for 90 seconds, 2 cups of washing soda, and 2 cups of baking soda.... Mix together! I still have to try the liquid kind...
So thrilled I get to read about your life b/c u are pretty much brilliant!

Welcome to the world of blogging! I agree it is overwhelming. I would LOVE to change the background and layout of mine, but a.) I don't have the time or patience to try, b.) I can never get the background to save.
ReplyDeleteAnywho, nice work at making your own laundry detergent...I should try it. :)
Aww, Melanie! I'm glad you're blogging! I am super interested in your life and will definitely be following your blog!! :)
ReplyDeleteoh good Carrie! I just added you to my list =)
