My energy levels are pretty low . . .but that could be due to waking up early and going to bed later than I should. Going to bed at 11:30 pm and waking up at 5:30 am . . .not conducive for an energetic day . . .
. . . I promise that I was NOT grouchy . . .but please don't ask my hunk about this . . .one of us would be lying.
So that's why I like Calvin and Hobbes so much . . .who knew?!
And of course, Garfield.
But, I'm not always in a bad mood. When I'm being productive I'm usually in a good mood! That being said . . .
I mentioned that I made my own butter (yum.) Well, now I have finally made my first (actually second) loaf of bread. I found the recipe for a loaf of bread and then made the necessary modifications so that I could prepare it in my bread machine (someone gave me one when I got married . . .never used it and actually gave it away because it was so big and took up so much room in our mobile home . . .but I got it back and now I am super excited about it . . .if anyone wants some fresh bread, let me know!)
I will probably make my bread weekly . . .so next time I will post pictures of the process along with my method. But if you don't have a bread machine, just use the link and enjoy a wonderful loaf of bread!
I also made my liquid hand soap again . . .I didn't take pictures of the process like I promised, but I plan to do so soon . . .I have another bar waiting to be useful. Who wants to give kids a bath with a bar of soap? Not me! I used Dr. Bronner's Tea Tree Castile Soap this time . . .was super excited at how great it did!
As you can see, it is all organic. I also have a bar of lavender soap that I want to liquify as well. I get almost a full gallon when doing this myself . . .and still for the $5 this bar costs . . .versus the bottle available in a 32 ounce size (a gallon is 128 ounces) which costs $17. So I'm essentially getting 4X's the amount . . .well, a little less, but still...4X's for 1/3 of the cost!
See . . .PINTEREST! IS a useful waste of time!
Hopefully I will update more regularly again. After getting to bed earlier so I don't fall asleep during the kids' nap times/my blog times like I have been. Weekends end up being the time for the house to get destroyed and then I have no energy to clean up during the week . . .I need to improve! Average homemaker :/
