I tried something different and I love it!

I am in love with Mrs. Meyers laundry detergent! I decided to try it even though it goes over my budget...a teeny bit. I bought the basil scent and find it wonderful. I have to get used to the smell. Everytime I move, I get a whiff of that sweet basil and wonder why oh why didn't I make the switch before? A friend gave me a recipe to make my own laundry detergent. I can add essential oils for a scent. I plan to do that and I will let you know which one I prefer. This recipe is for 5 (five!) gallons of detergent at 60 cents a gallon. Not bad on the budget if you know what I mean. I was totally outta detergent so that is why I bought the Mrs. Meyers. I have to order the ingredients for making my own. Will get back to you on that! For now, I must get back to rolling in the scent of sweet basil!

Big Ben's room!

I think I mentioned before that Ben's room is the previous master bedroom. This last photo is of the former master closet. We plan to remove the wall between the two rooms and make it a huge room for the boys. My oldest son, Isaiah also sleeps here.

My daughter's nursery

My daughter will be three in September. I have only just started to think about her BIG GIRL room. She loves pink so the walls will probably remain the same but I plan to paint the trim and the planks on the wall. See that little lamp on the table. I made that myself!
Thanks for stopping!
