DISHWASHER SOAP UPDATE

I do not love the dishwasher soap that I made. Maybe I did something wrong-I don't really know how I can mix dry ingredients wrong-but within a week the mixture was hard as a rock and I had to chisel it out.....I'm going to look into it further and see if others have had the same luck that I had and see what they did to change it but I don't currently have a recommendation for an effective dishwasher soap.

THE LAUNDRY SOAP IS AMAZING THOUGH!!!! A FRIEND AND HER MOM HAVE DONE THE MATH AND IT IS ABOUT 1-2 CENTS PER LOAD COMPARED TO THE STORE BOUGHT KINDS THAT ARE ABOUT 25 CENTS A LOAD....WAY WORTH IT!!!!!

I can cross 3 things off of my pinterest "to-do" list! Yesterday I made laundry soap, dishwasher soap and a huge batch of the yummiest roasted salsa! I'm so excited about the soaps that I'm documenting it so I know exactly how long a batch will last me and how much $$ it cost. Hopefully it is going to be a huge money saver... so here's the link in case you are interested. http://beingcreativetokeepmysanity.blogspot.com/search/label/Homemade%20soap (I'm so computer illiterate that I can't figure out how to do an actual cute simple link like the rest of you do...one day though)

Also, I fired the tooth-fairy. Second time she's left the tooth/spacer out for the girls to find. (Actually the spacer was in the garbage can, it just so happened that was the ONLY thing in the garbage can so when Graci threw her napkin away she saw it...this time the tooth was left on the freaking counter.) Graci was so excited though-she said, "yeah, the tooth fairy remembered that I wanted to see my tooth again! I bet she was really dizzy from flying so her eyes were silly and she dropped it on the counter-or maybe it was so late in the midnight that she was tired and forgot it." I'm going to have to agree on the so late in the midnight that she forgot it........
