Girls Gotta GetAway

I'm so excited..

this Saturday

 me and my 2 "sisters"

are going on a road trip

  Just for the day..

but we never get Away together..

Remember back in March

when I made

Susan Moody's Italian Teardrops?

and I mentioned

 Arche Winery and Ancient Ovens?

Well, we're going!

I

can

not

wait

Dirty Laundry

Making your own laundry soap

Ingredients

1.5 cups Borax

1.5 cups Arm & Hammer Washing Soda

1 bar Ivory Soap - shaved

I loved shaving the soap

I just used a small paring knife that will now be my official shaving knife

There was something very therapeutic about it

Mix it all together 

Use 1 tablespoon per one full load of laundry

I am going to document how many loads of laundry I get from this one concoction

I like my laundry to smell super fresh, so we'll see how this works

Boy, I'm optimistic

The price is definitely right!

I think I spent less than $7.00 on all the ingredients

I still have almost full boxes of borax and washing soap

I Never Promised You a Herb Garden

Almost a year ago, in June as a matter of fact, I started a herb garden

This is what has survived

Sage and Chives

Not bad for my first attempt

In May, I plan to start fresh

Pink Spring Table

 My breakfast room table doesn't get used,

so it's has become my place setting staging area.

I found the cutest pink tulip placemats

Believe it or not, I do not have that much pink dining accessories

It's still in progress

Stay tuned
