Recently, I started making my own laundry soap. How crazy is that? It’s actually super satisfying. One, a batch lasts forever. Two, it is ridiculously cost effective.

Although it was nice to lounge around in my pajamas all day long and watch movies, around 5 pm yesterday I actually got bored {can you believe it?} and so I got dressed and went outside to do a little gardening.
