It suddenly dawned on me this week that I am cleaning the house without chemicals (Check out www.vinegartips.com) but what am I cleaning me with? Organic would certainly be better but oh so expensive, and expensive is something we absolutely cannot do just now. I was considering throwing in a couple of drops of essential oils and a good splash of olive oil into my bath last night but I am a little uncertain about the wisdom of such creativity. I am off to see if there is a good website with some good recipes out there.
My Mum often said that we were never happier as children than when we had a giant box in the living room that we could create a pile of things with. You have probably heard the same and lament a generation bereft of the same creativity. Actually I think it was the box and my Mums time and enthusiasm that made us happy campers. I am trying to be that Mum more, less with my eye on the next thing that needs to be done.
And boxes are indeed wonderful fun!! This house is well underway to be a true mansion and it has a letter box which you can post real letters that you have written to yourself on behalf of your little brother!!

I just found a recipe for making your own laundry detergent for 3 cents (under 2 pence!) a load:
1 bar grated ivory soap
1/2 cup borax
1/2 cup washing soda
I'm going to try it and let you know.
