I'm thinking...(hoping) this may work out.....

I don't have any pictures for this post but I will have some new ones soon. I'm so excited about a couple of our new things.... 1 is we have decided to start making our own bread. so we got our our bread maker and dusted it off and away we've gone....well James has not so much me....he's been experimenting with bread recipes and I think he has got one figured out. we do the dough in the machine and take it out and put it into bread pans or make rolls most bread. We have also been working on our food storage and using what we have. I was watching one of my fav shows last week and they talked about making their own laundry soap.....now if this is something that can be done why do we pay 20 bucks for our soap???? I looked on the web site of the show and there was nothing about the soap. So I went to my home page msn and typed in homemade laundry soap..... It seems as though I am the last person to be interested in it because there is plenty of sites to go on to get recipes. We purchased the ingredients today which came to just under $13.00 - 12 something. there is enough ingredients to make multiple batches. One of the sites even breaks down the cost ...which is about 1 cent a load.....I'm serious.. I can't wait to try it. It needs to be stirred till it cools so I'll do it one of these mornings so I can stir all day. I don't know how to put an address on here but if you want to find it look up homemade laundry soap and there it will be. I just had to pass that along I'm so excited about it.
tonight we carved pumpkins. I will have to get the pictures loaded soon. They are so great!! It was a gooey mess but the kids really got into it and so did James he cut out all the faces. we even saved the seeds and baked them with salt yummy!! I can smell them they smell great. Well I'll have to get back soon with pictures and more stories....This is a busy - but great week!!
