the green way...

since having our 3rd child i have been a sahm, this is the longest ever that i have not worked and being on one wage has taught me many things...

I now write lists before shopping and even have a cute menu planner to help me organise our weekly meals. this not only saves money but keeps me organised. for one, i hate shopping, no really, so the faster i can get in and get out again with everything i need for the week the better.

not long ago i came across this fabulous blog. this lady is my inspiration. i just love how she has has her life in balance. a rare thing indeed.

so in my quest to be more kind to the earth and because i do enjoy making things now that i have the time... i thought i'd give her home cleaning recipes a go. we were using a rather expensive brand that came in 3kg packages, it was very good and lasted for months but now after making the heavy duty washing powder i am a total convert... you should give it a go, it's ever so simple...



grate a bit of soap...



looks so yummy



mix it up with the other stuff



and there you have it!



ta da... should be good now for another 40 washes.
