laundry soap. Yes, today we had to make soap again. So, the girls had several lessons. The first lesson was, "How many quarts are in a gallon?" Jesse knows this one from math but Chloe is not there yet. Then it was, "How fun is it to grate soap?" Answer: very! Chloe was especially enjoying this one; she kept playing with it after it was grated. The next lesson was in power tools. Yep, it takes one power tool: a drill with a paint stirrer attached.
The last lesson was, to me, the most important. It was a lesson in economics. Last October I bought the supplies to venture into laundry soap making. Today, 11 months later, I still have half of the supplies left and I paid less than $5 for all of it. I would usually buy laundry soap once every two weeks at $10/each. Eleven months later would have been $220, but instead it was more like $2.50. An excellent lesson for anyone I'd say and it is so easy to do!

Is that still the Duggar soap you made before? Where do you keep it after you make it?
Yes, it is the Duggar soap. I make it in a 5-gallon paint bucket with a lid. I keep it on the floor of the linen closet until I need to refill my jug.
The duggar soap as in the family? I would be interested to know what the ingredients are, will you share? Oh by the way Hi Marsha! I have enjoyed your blog often.
Hey, Jo! It is good to hear from you. I hope all is well in Kansas. Yes, it is the Duggar soap. If you google "Duggar laundry soap", you'll come up with the recipe for soap and fabric softener.
