25 Days till First 5K
Count down is on and since 2/27 I have now logged 11.2 miles running and 6 miles walking. On Sunday I logged 3.2 mile run that took me a rough 37 minutes. It will get better I know this!!! On a mission to cut that time down to ten minute miles.

Laundry done the Homemade way
Yep that’s right I no longer buy Tide or Downy products!!!! And I am super happy about this change in my monthly budget. Both of the recipes for these items can be found at www.threesavvymoms.com or anywhere on Pinterest for that matter.

The Laundry Detergent was one that I was super excited to try. We spent a Ginormous amount of money on laundry soap and I also have the front load washing machine so I was very curious to find out how this would work since it is a powder. And the results are……………………..(drum roll please)…………………… FANTASTIC!!!! I really could not be happier!!! By first grating and then running the Fels-Naptha bar soap thru a food processor I have had zero problems with any of the soap “gunking” up my soap dispenser on my washing machine. And did I mention I made enough soap to last me several months for only 15.61!! That’s practically what I would spend normally on one bottle of Tide HE detergent!

Next on my list of “homemade” items to try was the Fabric Softener. You see I’m a Downy freak, April Fresh Downy to be precise. Well again I am very impressed with how the product turned out. I bought my Conditioner and Vinegar at Dollar Tree. I made a half batch to start with, just to make sure I liked it and I did!!! There is no vinegar smell to your clothes so please do not worry!!! And sorry I was a little on the lazy side with my label, at least my husband found it funny!
