Six Sister's 4x4 Family Dinner Challenge..

Source


So I'm a huge fan of  Six Sister's Stuff. They recently came out with a new Challenge in which I think is not only a great idea, but something fun for families. It's called the 4x4 Family Dinner Challenge. During March, they are challenging families to have dinner together for 4 nights a week for 4 weeks. Sounds simple enough right? They're also throwing in some great recipes for you to try out. Personally, I've tried a bunch of recipes off their site and love them. So, if you go to the link and check out the challenge, be sure to check out some of their recipes.

Let's try homemade laundry detergent!

I got this recipe on another site. I'm totally up to try it in a few weeks or so...whenever my stockpile of laundry detergent runs out. I'll post pics!


Ingredients
  • 1 cup Borax
  • 1 cup Super Washing Soda
  • 1 Bar Fels-Naptha Laundry Bar Soap
Instructions
  1. - Grate bar of soap and add to saucepan with water. Stir continually over medium-low heat until soap dissolves and is melted.
  2. -Fill a 5 gallon bucket half full of hot tap water. Add melted soap, washing soda and Borax. Stir well until all powder is dissolved. Fill bucket to top with more hot water. Stir, cover and let sit overnight to thicken.
  3. -Stir and fill a used, clean, laundry soap dispenser half full with soap and then fill rest of way with water. Shake before each use. (will gel).
