Homemade Laundry Soap.....all I need to say

So I have been making my own homemade laundry soap for a couple of years now. I Love It......No other laundry soap can match the cleaning power of this stuff. Most of the time I make it into a liquid, but this time I am going to make it into a powder because of space issues. I am going to post a link to someone elses site to show you what I use and I use the same mixture he does for the most part, the only difference is that I do not use any oils or scent mixtures in my soap. I actually like the way the Fels Naptha soap smells, but I do use Downy Fabric softner.
 So if you do decide to make the soap, I hope it works as well for you as it does for me, on top of the fact that it saves us a ton of money on laundry soap. My initial investment is about $15-20.00. and it last me about 7-8 months for a family of 5 who lives in the woods and always has really dirty clothes.
Good Luck

Food storage.....Oh My....

So Jordan and I have been prepping food for storing. We have been recycling the kids capri sun packets, we cut off the tops just under the straw hole and the Jordan washed the out and let them dry. Then we measured out 1/2 cup of rice and 1 beef or chicken bullion cube and place it in a pouch with an oxygen absorber, then we sealed then off with a hair straightener.
I have also been using a food dehydrator and dehydrating apples, pears and strawberries for fruit pouches.
The need to be blanched in a sugar water mixture made up of two cups of water and 2 cups of sugar. for about 15 minutes before putting in the food dehydrator. Then I left them in the food dehydrator for 16 hours now they will be put in to the packets as well along with an oxygen absorber.
We are putting these away for an emergency situation in our Bug Out Bags.
The kids have been making there own bug out bags. I am so proud of them, I think it is awesome that my kids have enough brains to try and stayed prepared for anything.
