Make your own Orange Peel Cleaner

Orange Peel Cleaner is great. 🙂 I just started making some. You save up all your orange peels. We eat so many we can fill it up quickly. If you need to save them up- freeze them till you need the peels. Once you can fill a jar up with peels then pour in enough…

Homade Fabric Softener

Another homemade item I worked on this week is homemade fabric softener. Very simple to make. We learned about this too at our church Relief Society night. What a huge savings for this. I doubled the recipe to use 2 bottles of conditioner you need to use. Then filled up a gallon milk jug. Better…

Homemade Laudry Detergent

My Relief Society sisters at church taught us how to do homemade laundry detergent (plus other things I will share later). I was skeptical. We were able to take some home. I used it and loved it. Cleaned so well. It cost me only about 5.00 to make 5 gallons worth of laundry soap.  That…

Strawberry Pink Lemonade Cookies – YUM!
