It's a good thing

Just made my first batch of homemade laundry detergent. This recipe had good reviews on the interwebs and is obscenely cheap. Took a bit of elbow grease (had to grate a bar of Fels-Naptha soap), but I watched a PBS special on John Muir while I did it. Ironic, yes?
I'm a regular Martha Stewart, I am. Only without the money. And the sewing ability. And the stick up my arse.
Nevermind. I'm nothing like her. I'm just cheap and have a desire to not harm my family or the environment with unnecessary chemicals.
So excited to try this out! Haven't been this jazzed to do laundry since we got the front-loader.
