Coffee, Coffee, Coffee....soap!

Happy Sunday Hectic Domestics! In true hectic style, I am bogged down for finals week at school. Going to college is crazy hard when you are a mom! So, today I am sharing a link I found for COFFEE soap that you make in an old crackpot. Looks all yucky 'till it's done, but I bet it smells wonderful! So, have a little visit with fellow blogger Hearts, Hands, Home and see how this nifty soap is made.

Best Handmade Laundry Soap

Laundry soap seems to take up a big portion of my grocery budget. Since my budget is getting smaller and prices are getting higher, the women in my family have started making our own laundry soap. After trying out several different recipes, we all agree that the one used by the Duggar family is the best.
Laundry Soap
Grate 1 bar Fels Naptha Soap into 4 cups hot water
Boil in old pan, stirring until melted
Add mixture to a 5 gallon bucketAdd 1 cup washing soda
and 1/2 cup borax                                                     
Stir until dissolved and fill 1/2 full of water, stir                                                    
Fill the rest of the way, put on lid and let sit overnight.
