The first is homemade laundry detergent. I never thought I'd do this. I knew people who did, I saw it a lot on various blogs, I just always thought "Nope, I like my Gain just fine thanks". Then I kept seeing it.
I started to ponder...why not?
(ok, also I was redoing my laundry room and didn't want a big ugly jug of detergent messing up the cuteness!)
I looked it up some more online
SOOO many people say they love it, say it works. That many people can't be wrong, right?
I also LOVED that it was a little way to save money.
the last part....
it seemed super easy.
Cute
Cheap
Easy
I LOVE THOSE WORDS!
So I did it! I used this recipe.
I really do love it!
It works!
It is super easy!
It uses ONE TABLESPOON PER LOAD! How crazy is that!
I also started using vinegar for fabric softener...when I remember to go add it during the rinse cycle...
The second project is a menu folder and board. I saw adorable ones here (aren't hers absolutely beautiful!?). I loved it immediately! I also print out recipes or use my recipe cards..then I have them laying on the counter while I cook. They get FILTHY (I am NOT a neat cook!). This project solved that problem completely! They are inside my cabinets right next to my stove. I didn't put the folder above the magnet board because it would be too hard for me to reach (I'm not very tall...or tall in any sense of the word..in case you don't know me irl). It was a very easy project and again super cheap! Paper, a metal sign I found for LESS THAN $2 at the Hobby Lobby clearance aisle, and the most expensive part... velcro pieces to hang it with.
There ya have it, two super easy projects I did that make a BIG IMPACT in my little world.

I'm so proud of you! Since I'm done with cloth diapers it's time to go back to homemade detergent! Yea you!
