About Me

Hi, I'm Mia. I love crafts, homeschooling and living in different countries. In Central America and Mexico it became somewhat of a challenge to make things. I learned to use articles on hand and a lot of imagination. One very big inspiration for me was when I watched a mother cleaning a chicken. As her little boy skipped by he paused and started looking at the "guts" that she had just placed in a bowl. He pulled out what looked to be the stomach. He then cleaned it up. Placing it to his mouth, he began to blow it up. It was now a balloon. His mother turned and smiled at him as he skipped off to show his prize to his friends. It was then that I challenged myself to make or create things without spending a lot of money. I enjoy using things I already have or can purchase inexpensively. You can do it too. Take the challenge.

DIY HOMEMADE LAUNDRY DETERGENT



I have seen several listings for laundry detergents on the internet.  I picked the one to share that I feel has the best ingredients for cleaning without a lot of added chemicals.  All of these ingredients may be purchased at your local grocery store.
1  (4 lb 12 oz) box of Borax
1 (3 lb 7 oz) container Arm and Hammer Super Washing Soda
1 (3 lb) container of OxyClean
2 (14.1 oz) bars of Zote Soap or Fets Naptha (which ever your store carries)
1 (4lb) box of Arm and Hammer Baking Soda or 2 (2 lb) boxes

Grate the Zote or Fets Naptha bars in a large container.  Then pour the rest of the ingredients in and mix it up.  I store it in zip lock bags and use the OxyClean container for the soap I am using.
