This morning I got up and made....
my own dish washing detergent....
all purpose cleaner...
and Playdoh for little britches...
I didn't have food coloring...
but it didn't matter to him..
he enjoyed making wormies...and balls...
Please send prayers for my DIL's Mom...
(Little Britches Meme)
she had knee surgery and has been having complications...
she had a stroke last night...
we are having beautiful weather...
maybe we will dry out a bit before the next storms hit...
little britches and I are enjoying our time outside...
we went for a walk yesterday....
a little treasure hunt...
he brought back 2 rocks...rosemary...
a magnolia tree leaf...
I had a butterfly land on my wrist...
he grabbed it off...
then tossed it into the air...
I'm sure the butterfly was relieved...
it didn't meet the same fate as wormie....

Deb, LOVELY pictures, and thanks for all the recipes! Saying a prayer for Meme and her recovery. You and Little Britches might need to start your own butterfly collection. :)
i prayed for meme, so sorry to hear this. did not know we could make home made play dough. i like to play with it myself. i use ivory bar soap in my bathroom for washing my hands and my face.
My, Deb, you are very ambitious making your own cleaning products!
I remember making play dough when my son was small. I am sure LB loved the whole experience with you.
I hope Meme is doing better and wish her a full recovery.
Thank you for the recipes. I love how green you are! Keeping Little Britches Meme in my prayers. Sweet birdies too!
I love the ladybug on your new header.
Great recipes. I used to make playdough for my children.
I've been wanting to try making my own laundry soap. I want to make your dish soap too :) thanks for the recipe.
