we ran out of soap


and there was no time to run to the grocery for more
so we made our own.

recipe:
laundry soap{makes around 5 cups}
2 cups finely grated castile soap
1 cup borax
1 cup baking soda
1 cup washing soda

mix together and use 1/8 cup per load
keeps well but i think we will fly through this batch.  with the bout of the flu that hit this week, there are literally mountains of laundry to wash.
