Welcome to My Blog!


Schooling two active boys has never been more... interesting. That's the word I'm looking for! I love my boys! God has given them the blessing of strong, active bodies and minds. We continually pray the first will remain intact, and the second will remain engaged with Him first, and then the school work. You'll meet my sweet sons, both entirely different, but both loving God to the best of their ability in the way He made them. I lovingly refer to them as my Bell Pepper Boy and my Habanero or Hambone. That should say it all! This blog is an eclectic mix. The events, conversations, and the thoughts behind it all will be in here. Every once in a while I'll try to capture something I don't want to forget. I hope you find things you enjoy. Please let me know if you do! Blessings!

Fabric Softener, Too?

Homemade Fabric Softener

Recipe #179890
A good homemade recipe. I use a clean extra used vinegar bottle. If you try this tell me what you think. Makes about a gallon.
by Littlemomma
15 servings
15cups
time to make 5 min 5 min prep
1 cup baking soda
6 cups distilled white vinegar
8 cups water
10-15 drops orange essential oils (optional) or lemon essential oils (optional) or essential oils, of choice (optional)

Not the one? See other Homemade Fabric Softener Recipes

  1. You will need a one gallon container.
  2. First add the baking soda to the plastic container.
  3. Next add 1 cup of water to start with.
  4. Slowly add the vinegar to the bottle as the vinegar and baking soda will start to fizz.
  5. Then add the rest of the water swirling around & cover venting the top a few times.
  6. Last add the essential oil.
  7. Add 1 cup in your final rinse cycle for each load but give the bottle a good shake to stir up the essential oil if using.

Okay, has anyone tried something like this before????

I thought the same thing about putting it in my dryer, but then I thought....wait a minute, the clothes are already wet to begin with.....What have I got to lose. I thank my mother-in-law for that wonderful suggestion!

Do you have any other home made cleaning recipes?

That's what we use for fabric softener and we love it!!! This recipe and the one I use for laundry detergent is saving us about $20 a month. I love all three!
