Mama to 6~The Large Family Logistics

Christmas shopping

We took our kids to the Dollar Store where they each picked out one gift for their brothers and sisters.

Wow-lavender essential oil is expensive.  I bought it to add to 2 cups of distilled water and will add 1 cup to my rinse cycle for my wash.  I love the smell of lavender.  I know you can also spray this onto clothes as they are hanging on the line.  Obviousely I won't be hanging out any clothes outside for a while. 

Has anybody ever made soap?  I want to make soap soon.  Maybe after Christmas.  I cannot figure out where to buy lye though. 

I have been looking for tea cups at the Salvation Army.  My daughters want to have a tea party.  I only have one tea cup though. 

Well, I think it is time for bed for me.  Goodnight.
