Chemical Free Laundry Detergent
I hate laundry with a passion! I hate sorting clothes, changing loads, and don’t even get me started on folding and putting them away! Why?? Why can’t I have a machine that does it all for me? Oh yeah, because it is 2018 and those don’t exist yet. So every weekend, I sort clothes, change loads from washer to dryer, fold them, and put them away. It is a need; a necessity. So the question then becomes: how can I make it more fun? I pondered over that question for a while; like I’m still pondering. However, there are not many options to make laundry fun. Instead, I thought how can laundry save us money? Since it is a necessity, how can we spend less on something that we use weekly? A friend of mine suggested that I try making my own laundry detergent, which sounded intriguing. Where could I find a recipe though? Of course, PINTEREST!! So I began my dive into the black hole of Pinterest and it didn’t take long to discover that there were so many ways you could make your own laundry detergent. I quickly became overwhelmed but knew I couldn’t give up my search. I would find a recipe that I could make!
Homemade Coffee Creamer
I’m a coffee-loving woman. I drink it year round. It doesn’t matter if it’s hot or cold outside, I always have a cup of steaming coffee in my hand. My family knows I have to have coffee in the morning or else. My students learn very quickly that Mrs. White needs her coffee and beware if you approach her before she’s had any.
This is what happens when your students know you very well. HA!
However, I cannot stand straight, black coffee. That is too strong for me. Plus, as my hubby would say, I’m more complicated than that. I have to have sugar and cream, but I’m also need flavoring. Vanilla is my favorite, though I have come across some seasonal flavors that have peaked my interest. So, I would head the local grocery story in search of a vanilla coffee creamer for my coffee.
