homemade dish soap (for your dishwasher)

This recipe comes straight out of the latest issue of Mary Jane's Farm Magazine so I can't take credit for creating it! :) Cindy asked me to post it here, so here ya go:

Combine equal parts baking soda and borax in the detergent compartment and use white vinegar in the rinse cycle well.

That's it. Pretty simple!
If you try it, please let me know what your experience with it is. I may give it a go myself! :)

my little tree

It's hard to believe that this was my little girl 2 years ago today!Happy 2nd birthday sweet Timber!

like father like son

I actually found a few spare minutes this afternoon to download these shots and share them! My parents are coming tomorrow for a week which means a couple things 1. help with the house 2. help with the kids 3. a little free time for me. (Yes, I do realize that all of that sounds pretty selfish but I'm excited!)

Anyway, the other day I walked outside to find this......

And then there is poor little Timber who wants so much to be like Layton. You have to remember the girl is only 1. Well, until tomorrow at least when she turns 2!

lost

I feel a little lost right now. Most of it comes from the lack of sleep and barely being awake enough some days to even get housework done.
So, I'm not gone. I realize that I haven't blogged in a while and I have a bunch to share, like my yogurt making experience and a quilt and pictures of my kids and how the sauerkraut is coming and on and on.....
I'll get back here soon- Promise! :)
