we've been making our own laundry detergent for the past few months now, and we just love it! the kids help out, we save tons of money, it's better for our sensitive skin, and it's so easy!!
i told my mom about this and she said "oh, you remind me of aunt june". i was a bit caught off guard by this statement, because in my mind aunt june is nothing like me...she would be at my grandmas', playing cards, smoking cigs, drinking a cocktail (or was she the one that always ate prunes....can't remember, and i was little), but i never saw myself similar to my aunt june. then my mother told me about how she rendered deer fat (we come from a whole lineage of true hunters), and would make all her cleaning supplies from it....she would use up that entire deer, nothing got wasted. after hearing that story i felt a couple different things, 1)holy shit, aunt june was a super cool chic, and totally my kind of homemaker 2)i really wish i could have gotten to know her better!
