A Must Have Kitchen Gadget

If you don't have this One Touch can opener, you MUST get one!!! My parents got it for me for my birthday, and I am IN LOVE! You stick it on top of your can, push the button, and walk away! Then, you have a perfectly opened can with no sharp edges. It's a dream!!!

Going Green!

Well...not really...but I'm doing a few things that would be considered "green!" I try my best to always take in my reusable shopping bags when I grocery shop and I've started making my own detergent. Yesterday, I made my second batch, and I really like it...Homemade Detergent

Buy:

1 bar of soap

1 box of Arm and Hammer Washing Soda

1 box of Borax

10 gallon tote

HEAT 4 cups of water on stove. Grate soap and add to water. DO NOT BOIL!

Pour 2 gallons of hot water into container. Pour soap mixture in and stir. Pour 1 cup of Washing Soda in and stir. Pour 1/2 cup Borax in and stir! STIR, STIR, STIR!

Put lid on tight and let sit for 24 hours so it makes a gel. Use 1 cup per load!
