Powdered Laundry soap!

Last week I made powdered Laundry soap with the children. We loved it! I plan to make more today. I like to have plenty of everything on hand. I do not like running out and HAVING to make things. It is way more fun to do it when we want too. The recipe is so easy! We have a HE washer and it works great. I want to use it for a mth to see if it is still a favorite of ours.
We are using vinegar in the fabric softener drawer of the machine to help against soap build up on the clothes. It seems great so far.
The recipe we used is on our www.simplycleansing.blogspot.com If you try it let us know what you think of it!

We are busy here!

Packing Soap orders. (Ugly Bar Sale going on now!)
Cleaning house.
Schooling.
Baking is calling my name also... (Mostly PB Fudge...)

Tubby learned today that a sieve doesnt hold water. It was very funny. And a whole teapot of water was on the counter. (This counts as science and Home Ec., Right??)

He also Learned putting something on your head and running full speed ahead through the living room hurts. Even when hitting something somewhat soft...

Fonte has been working hard this morning on a story for the Vision Forum Story Contest. It has involved lots of Titanic research and learning more about sentence structure. And When she is done she will be typing it up and Mailing it off. She has asked about selling her story. Not sure on that yet. She is a total Entrepreneur. Loves making and selling.

Pear-o is working on her exercises from the Clear Institute. It is a great Scoliosis Treatment method. Research it if you have anyone with Scoliosis. We have seen lots of progress with it.

The youngers are doing school work, playing with playdough and the like. Tubby is also playing on the Dulcimer and singing Praise songs. ;)

Survival Podcast!

We went to visit our friend Jack Spirko for the weekend a while back and made this podcast. It was scary for me. I dont do well talking to people. But is is Audio not video so you cant see me shaking. ;)
We had a great weekend! The children found English Walnuts and cracked them between 2 rocks and had a yummy very much earned snack. We had great food and fellowship. We love getting together with friends. Jack and his wife are wonderful! And so kind! We grilled and had fun! Fall is my favorite time of yr!

Here is the TSP Podcast if you are interested in listening. It is long. (HR or so)

Cinnamon!

We added a new soap to our Store! We are excited! I LOVE the smell of warm spices in the fall and winter! It is Cinnamon! Lovely! Makes me want cinnamon rolls! Not a horrid side effect. ;)

Pear-O has been playing with pictures and asked last night if she could take the pictures of soap. I think she did well. I was cutting soap and setting it out on the shelf and in no time 3 children were there to help! Just because they wanted too. I am thankful for children that are willing hard workers.

Our main site had some server issues and will be back up in a couple days. But for now you can order our soaps and 100% BEESWAX CANDLES! on our other blog.

Blogging...

I have really missed blogging. Working hard at getting this blog and our Soap business blogs running full time again. Lots happening! Busy here!

Just made several hundred bars of yummy soap. Adding a new scent to the blog soon! Working on growing the business.

We did a Podcast with Jack Spirko. He does www.thesurvivalpodcast.com He and his wife are really great! We love them Both. Daddy made a Mammoth tusk knife! It is a beauty! In my top 3 favorite knives he has made!

Girls are really learning right now! Pear-O and Fonte are writting stories for the Vision Forum Contest. I hope to post them later! They are great! They have so much potential. Unschooling somewhat really gets them to do things that are hard because they want too! I would have never tried due to fear of failing. But they do not have this fear! I am so thankful!

They have such a knowledge that I didnt have opportunity to know as a child. They are all hard workers and love learning!

I am blessed to be a momma of 6 Jems!
