Saving $$$$ and the Earth

If you follow my blog you must not have much to do because I have only posted 2 times in the last 4 months. So, I bet you are shocked to see my 2nd post this week.

I guess my post is in honor of Earth Day which was almost a week ago. If you know me very well you probably are not shocked that I am late (because I am ALWAYS late). Anyway, I felt compelled to share with you how I have reduced the amount bright orange Tide containers I use. It actually started out as a way to save money but then I realized it was also saving the Earth.

I make my own laundry detergent. I found the recipe on the Duggar's website. Yes, that is right the people that have like 18 or 19 kids. It is pretty simple to make and seems to work just fine. I highly recommend checking it out. http://www.duggarfamily.com/recipes.html.

Horses and House


Meet Tuffy, the latest addition to our horse herd. He arrived last week and the kids (especially Anna) are crazy about him. It appears he needs a bit of a haircut. We hope to get that taken care of real soon.
