My sad foray into domesticity

So a girlfriend was telling me how she makes her own laundry soap using 3 common ingredients [one of which was the *fabulous* Dr. Bronner’s soap!]. She said it was better for a child’s skin and good for the environment. Hmmm, I thought, better for my family? Good for the earth? I could probably do that. I think I could. I might. I should. I will! I will make my own laundry soap and be proud of myself for being so domestic!

I was nervous [I’m not exactly the most domestic person in the world] but convinced it would be wonderful. Soooo, tonight I gave it my best shot. I carefully read the directions [twice], measured the ingredients [twice], mixed, and poured it into the bottle. All was well until I tried to use the soap. I’m not sure what happened, but something isn’t right. Does this look like laundry soap to you??

It's as hard as a rock.

Remind me to add Tide to my grocery list.
