Make your own laundry detergent

Have you tried to make your own laundry detergent? I haven't yet but plan too very soon - you just don't realize that going green can save you money - plus you are not using all the plastic.

Great for getting kids outdoors in Winter!

I found this idea and just love it - can't wait to try it!

 With tempatures dropping this weekend, its the perfect time to take advantage of the cold weather with a fun experiment!


Did you know that you can freeze bubbles? These temperatures are perfect for using that left over bubble mix from the summer. Go outside on any day when it’s below 32 degrees F and try this: blow a bubble and then catch it on the bubble wand.  Wait a few moments while it freezes- it will turn into a cool crystal ball before it shatters!

You can also make icy crystals with your bubble solution! To do this: dip a large loop in the bubble solution – but dont blow a bubble. Instead, watch the crystals grow. The will form a lattice structure!
Too cold to go outside? You can learn how to make your own crystal ball bubbles in the freezer with soap by checking out the site below…

Another clever gardening idea

I love this idea as well - very easy to build and gives you a little break from your neighbors.  Image having a BBQ and being able to make the salad right there!!!  Couldn't get any fresher!!
