For the laundry soap recipe, you can go to:

Washing Soda is by Arm and Hammer, but don't get it confused w/ Baking Soda. It is in a large box and looks like the baking soda box. I found Washing Soda at a local Amish grocery store...I don't think Walmart carries it, but you could check.
The laundry detergent itself smells like Mexican laundry soap. Ha!! (Right Elia?!)
I think the soap smells like the Fels Naptha bar...kinda, um soapy! I've heard you can use essential oils for a scent, but I haven't tried it. The laundry doesn't have any scent when it comes out of the dryer, but I'm sure a dryer sheet or fabric softener could give a nice "laundry" aroma, if you like it.
There's my $0.02!

- We're the Goff Family. I (Megan) mainly keep up the blog, so all the Uncles, Aunties, Cousins, and Grandparents can "keep up" with our family. I also blog, as a way of tracking our family history. It'll be fun to look back and see what we were doing while our kids were little, on a day-to-day basis. Oh, and I blog because it's fun and a little bit creative. It's kinda my "escape" while the kids are napping. I'm so happy to be Justin's wife and the Mommy to this little crew! Enjoy our site!

Thank you for adding the recipe.
Our latest baby is about the same age as your youngest one -- Nathan was born on July 1st.
Have a great day and thanks for the "laundry post."
I am a lurker...coming out to let you in on this great tip!
I use vinegar for fabric softener. White distilled vinegar...a very large bottle at Walmart is less than $2. It has lasted me for the last two months and I've used maybe 3/4 of it (I've used a lot of it for cleaning with baking soda, too so I'm not sure exactly how much I've used with the laundry). Just put 1/4 cup in the fabric softener container in your washer and add enough water to fill it up. The clothes have a hint of vinegar smell when they come out of washer but after they hang up and dry or come out of the dryer they don't have a scent. We have 6 children and 3 have sensitive skin so this is so much better (and cheaper) than the Downy scent-free kind. Anyway...thought you would enjoy that information!
Hugs,
Carmen
Hey Carmen, thank you for your nice instructions! I never knew that it's possible to use vinegar for fabric softener. Also I want to thank the owner of this blog for that nice laundry soap recipe. I am going to add a link to this page from my Natural Bath Products site.And if you do not mind, I will add your soap recipe and instructions to my collection of soap recipes here. thanks!
