Good morning, friends!
Jack and I recently had a great time making homemade laundry detergent. Â Do we know how to have fun or what? Â I have made homemade powdered detergent before and it was ok, but when I saw this recipe on One Good Thing by Jillee I wanted to give it a try. Â It’s for a year’s worth of detergent for under $35.00! Â It’s just the two of us now but I will share it with my kids. Â So here is the recipe and a how-to video courtesy of Jillee.
I LOVE this recipe!!!  It’s a HUGE winner in my books!  It is powerful, smells FANTASTIC and leaves everything super clean and fresh. I followed her instructions and it was so easy.  All you need to use is one little scoop per load.  I measured her recommended amount and a powdered lemonade scoop works.  That’s all you need, friends!  Exactly what I wanted!  I gave some to my kids and they love it, too.  You know how happy I am by my use of  BIG LETTERS!!
As a fairly new blogger I look to those that have been in the game longer than I have for style, guidance, example and how-to’s. Â I have followed Jillee for a number of years. Â Her blog is just wonderful. Â The premise is that she posts one new thing every day. Â She does wonderful posts of DIY how-to’s and how to make your life easier with everything in your life.
Jillee has two sisters who have fantastic blogs. Dori who has Riches to Rags by Dori. Â Her blog is about family, food, raising chickens and the fun and challenges of living on a farm.
I have become friends with her sister, Rebecca, who blogs at Camp Wander.  She is my essential oil guru and is a wealth of natural healing knowledge. Rebecca makes her own blends of oils and salves and a plethora of all-natural, therapeutic products that are out of this world!  She is also one of the kindest, smartest and most generous women I have ever known.  I think the world of her, she is one terrific lady!
My hats off to all three of them with sincere thanks! Â Please look them up and follow them. Â You will be glad you did!
Until next time,
You are loved,

Oh super! I love meeting new bloggers. And about that homemade washing powder. A lot of people here in Van make their own more ecological products. I love the whole thing of less toxins, no fragrances, better health. 😀
