Homemaking

For the first time since high school, I'm not working - it's a little strange to not have to worry about work responsibilities or get up and dash out the door every morning, but so far I'm loving being a stay-at-home mom and wifey.  Now that hubby and I have adapted to having our little munchkin around and said munchkin is starting to sort-of stick to a nice little schedule, I feel like I can finally start paying attention to keeping up with the household!

Don't worry, we're not planning on starting our own little 1950's compound out here - we'd probably starve since the closest I've ever come to growing my own food is playing "Farmville" on facebook. :) - but I am going to start trying out some fun projects here on our homefront.

First up, I'm going to try making homemade laundry detergent and homemade dish soap this week.  I found both recipes on Being Creative to Keep my Sanity blog and a friend has tried both with great success!  Has anyone tried either of these "recipes" or have any pointers to share?

And ... just to be cheeky ...
