Ever used Homemade Laundry detergent before? Don't worry, you aren't alone! I've never even heard of such a thing until I found out that a sample would be in The Little Black Box this month. I was sooo excited to hear that I might get to try some and Luckily, I did! I expected a little pouch to do a load of laundry but instead I got a little pouch that can do up to 5 loads of laundry because it only takes a Tablespoon of detergent to do a full load of laundry. Now If you ask my husband, he will tell you that I overload the washer... I do, and I just can't help it because with 4 kids, I want to get as much done as quickly as possible. I know! It's a terrible habit but Nevertheless I was so happy that even with my tendency to overstuff, my laundry came out smelling lovely and super soft! I used this on my bedroom sheets and enjoyed the peaceful lavender induced sleep all night long. I'm certainly going to be placing an order for some of this. I think anyone can appreciate a product that goes such a long way and smells so soothing.

Sock Dreams


Yay, I scored some of these handmade cuties in my box. A pair of Brown knee socks! They are super stretchy and rather thick which is wonderful for the 9 months of winter I have to endure living in Northern Wisconsin. These are so very soft and somehow they just seem to fit me perfectly even though I'm a rather chunky size 8/9. Oh, how I love a good snug fitting pair of socks tho, I think everyone does! When my feet feel good, I feel good. It makes me feel clean, comfortable, and ready to take on the day! Looking at these, they are so luxurious and the packaging is adorable with a natural paper wrapper w/some yarn to pkg these up, you would expect to see them neatly displayed in a craft shop. Like many other Craft Shop Goodies I think these would really make a Terrific gift for someone you love. I'm thinking of choosing some for Grandma to keep her snug as a bug while reading a book in her favorite chair as well as some knee socks for my daughter to match some of her adorable fall skirts. As for me, on a cool summer night after bathing with some of my favorite smelly goodies, I will put my hair up in a clip, slip into some of my favorite jammies, sip a lovely cup of Tea from SBS, and relax on the porch in my newly found favorite pair of socks!
