Duggar Family Laundry Soap!!!!

Do you like the Duggar family?

I have become addicted to this show!!!

Not because I want to have 18 kids or anything...I just love to see how Mrs. Duggar does what she does! She is a great mom! Her organization amazes me!!!! How do you run a household with that many people...and stay sane? How do you afford to have that many children?

Well, I don't want anymore kids....BUT, I do believe we can incorporate some of their cost effective living right here at the Rose household! I would really love to save money any way I can this year!

I watched an episode where all of the girls in the house were making their laundry soap and all of their cleaners! I thought, "WOW! I can do that!" This is all natural...no chemicals and it's cheap! It was unbelievable!!! So, Denise and I have made our own Duggar Laundry Soap! We are so excited to share it with you!

The first step is to fill your 5 gallon bucket half way with hot water!

Denise will have food that taste like Ivory forever! I'm glad we did this at her house!

Here's the ingredients!!!!!

Here is my cute 5 gallon soap bucket!

We now have soap to last us FOREVER!!!!

Yeah...I saved us some money honey!

Can't wait to try it out!
