I love baking and my girls love baking with me.&amp;nbsp; Today we decided to celebrate Easter by making cupcakes to share with the family tomorrow.&amp;nbsp; We started out by using some simple store bought ingredients.&amp;nbsp; For the grass I used sweetened coconut and added a few drops of food coloring:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_tvIk65d0rM/T4CTsV7Ju6I/AAAAAAAAAPw/dQpC3C2r2DI/s1600/baking.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_tvIk65d0rM/T4CTsV7Ju6I/AAAAAAAAAPw/dQpC3C2r2DI/s320/baking.jpg&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot; class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
﻿&lt;/div&gt;
Then we mixed everything according to the package directions for cupcakes.&amp;nbsp; I omitted the oil and used 1/4 cup of applesauce though.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0Kz-Z_V-5XE/T4CUyBFVQMI/AAAAAAAAAP4/RhhO8s5473A/s1600/IMG_20120407_124225.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0Kz-Z_V-5XE/T4CUyBFVQMI/AAAAAAAAAP4/RhhO8s5473A/s320/IMG_20120407_124225.jpg&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
Finally, after they were all cooled, we decorated them, which of course was the best part!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;b class=&quot;uppercase&quot;&gt;How to Pipe Frosting&lt;/b&gt;Insert desired decorating tip in pastry bag. Fold down top of pastry bag about halfway, forming a cuff. Spoon enough frosting into bag to fill halfway.  Unfold cuffed top and twist bag until it meets level of frosting in bag, To pipe, hold bag firmly and squeeze from top of bag, keeping bag twisted to prevent frosting from leaking out from top of bag. If you don&#39;t have a pastry bag, you can use a resealable plastic bag instead. Spoon frosting into bag, then cut piece off one corner of bag.  Twist top of bag as directed, then use to pipe frosting onto cupcakes.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;protip&quot;&gt;
&lt;b class=&quot;uppercase&quot;&gt;How to Use the Remaining Dry Gelatin Mixes&lt;/b&gt;Combine leftover dry gelatin mixes in medium bowl.  Add 1-1/2 cups boiling water; stir 2 min. until mixes are completely dissolved.  Stir in 1-1/2 cups cold water.  Refrigerate several hours or until firm.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;protip&quot;&gt;
&lt;b class=&quot;uppercase&quot;&gt;Variation  &lt;/b&gt;Prepare as directed, substituting 1 tub (8 oz.) thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping for the canned frosting.   Sprinkle with remaining dry gelatin mixes.  Keep refrigerated.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;Here was a project I started a few weeks ago and it has taken off beautifully!&amp;nbsp; With that unusually warm week we had back in March, I felt like getting my vegetable plants started.&amp;nbsp; So I used some pop bottles that I cut down a little more than half way.&amp;nbsp; I just added some soil and the seeds and watered them.&amp;nbsp; And before I knew it, within about a week they started sprouting.&amp;nbsp; This is a great eco friendly way to recycle and get your garden started at the same time.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Coat mini bundt pans with non-stick cooking spray.  In a large bowl of an electric mixer, combine the flour, sugar, &lt;a class=&quot;kLink&quot; href=&quot;http://cake.betterrecipes.com/mini-cardamom-cream-cakes.html#&quot; id=&quot;KonaLink1&quot; style=&quot;position: static; text-decoration: underline !important;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(150, 150, 0) !important; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; position: static;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;kLink&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(150, 150, 0) !important; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; position: relative;&quot;&gt;baking&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; powder, cardamom, and salt.  Blend in the eggs at low speed.  Add the cream and beat at high speed, scraping the bowl, until the batter is the texture of softly whipped cream.  Turn the batter into the prepared pan.  &lt;a class=&quot;kLink&quot; href=&quot;http://cake.betterrecipes.com/mini-cardamom-cream-cakes.html#&quot; id=&quot;KonaLink2&quot; style=&quot;position: static; text-decoration: underline !important;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(150, 150, 0) !important; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; position: static;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;kLink&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(150, 150, 0) !important; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; position: relative;&quot;&gt;Bake&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; for 40 to 50 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.  Cool for 5 minutes in the pan.  Invert onto a rack and cool completely.  Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with blueberries before serving.&lt;br /&gt;
Makes 6 mini bundt cakes.  Can also be prepared using one regular sized bundt pan and will bake for 50-60 minutes.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;color: red; font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Here are just a few of the ideas from&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.countryliving.com/crafts/projects/easy-upcycling-craft-projects#slide-10&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Country Living&lt;/a&gt; I have listed for you.&amp;nbsp; You can find out more information by going to their website. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2 class=&quot;slideTitle&quot;&gt;
Mason Jar Soap Dispenser&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;imageContent&quot;&gt;
Repurpose the classic Mason jar as a soap or lotion dispenser in your  bathroom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;1.&lt;/strong&gt; First, measure and mark the center of the jar&#39;s lid.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;2.&lt;/strong&gt; Using a 1/2&quot; high-speed steel drill bit &lt;em&gt;(about $10;  local hardware store)&lt;/em&gt;, drill a hole to fit the width of a soap dispenser  pump. We used pumps from old lotion bottles.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;strong&gt;3.&lt;/strong&gt; Fill the jar with liquid soap, screw the lid back on, and insert the pump.  You may need to trim the bottom of the pump to fit your jar.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h2 class=&quot;slideTitle&quot;&gt;
Crate Shelving&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;imageContent&quot;&gt;
Old blueberry crates — like the six that make up this ruggedly good-looking  shelving uni — are the perfect size for displaying and storing Mason jars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;1.&lt;/strong&gt; Find a pattern/layout you like by arranging the crates on  the floor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;2.&lt;/strong&gt; Mount the crates on a wall, starting with the top row,  using a level, anchors, and screws. For each box, drill holes through each of  the four corners, then insert anchors into the holes. Holding the box in place  so that the holes align, drill screws through the holes to affix the box to the  wall.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h2 class=&quot;ingredients&quot; style=&quot;height: auto;&quot;&gt;


Ingredients&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;ingredients&quot; style=&quot;height: auto;&quot;&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1/2 cup finely diced onion&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1/4 cup finely diced green pepper&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1/2 pound lean ground beef&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1 medium  potato, peeled and diced&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1/4 cup raisins&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1/2  cup beef broth&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1/4  cup diced green olives&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1-1/2  teaspoon Spice Islands Cumin, Ground&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1  teaspoon Spice Islands Paprika&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1/2  teaspoon Spice Islands Pepper, Black Fine Grind&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1  hard cooked egg, chopped&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1  egg, lightly beaten&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;unbaked pie crusts,  3 sheets&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1  tablespoon corn oil&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;


Directions&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;directions&quot;&gt;Heat oil in large skillet.  Add onion and green peppers; cook until tender.  Crumble in ground beef and cook until nearly cooked through.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Add potato, raisins and beef broth; reduce heat.  Cover and cook 10 minutes.  Stir in olives, cumin, paprika and black pepper.  Continue to cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Remove from heat and stir in egg.  Spread on a shallow tray/pan and refrigerate for 30 minutes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lightly sprinkle counter with flour and roll each crust to 1/4-inch thickness.  Cut in 4-inch circles (can use a small bowl and cut around edges with a sharp knife).  Reroll dough scraps.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lightly brush egg over interior edges of each wrap.  Holding wrap in one hand place about 2 tablespoons filling in center of wrap lightly pressing edges to seal.  Place on baking tray and seal edges of empanada with a fork.  Continue with remaining wraps and filling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bake at 400°F for 10 minutes, brush with additional egg wash and bake an additional 7 to 12 minutes until browned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recipe Note:  Empanada wraps can be found in large grocery stores or Latin markets.  For best results, deep fry the empanadas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Lucida Sans Unicode; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Have you ever been ‘egging’ before? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Lucida Sans Unicode; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;No, not &lt;em&gt;that&lt;/em&gt; kind ‘egging’. I have &lt;em&gt;never&lt;/em&gt; done that before. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Lucida Sans Unicode; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Right mom? :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Lucida Sans Unicode; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;I’m talking about ‘egging’ your neighbor or friend’s houses with &lt;em&gt;plastic&lt;/em&gt; eggs filled with goodies. Last year I used &lt;a href=&quot;http://eighteen25.blogspot.com/2010/03/youve-been-egged-free-download.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; free printable from &lt;a href=&quot;http://eighteen25.blogspot.com/2010/03/youve-been-egged-free-download.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Eighteen 25&lt;/a&gt;. But, now that I have a place to share my printables, I have created one with a little more fun added to it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #f394a5; font-family: Lucida Sans Unicode;&quot;&gt;All you need to do is…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Lucida Sans Unicode; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #f394a5;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Print out &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.box.com/s/2231188a85cbc5c7e418&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; free 8.5×11 printable.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #f394a5;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Fill a bunch of plastic eggs with candy or other goodies.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #f394a5;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Figure out when your neighbor or friend will be gone for a bit.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Lucida Sans Unicode; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #f394a5;&quot;&gt;4)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Have your kiddos spread plastic eggs all over their yard and then leave the note on their door!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Lucida Sans Unicode; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;You could just add candy, but if you really like your neighbor or friend, then you could add some special things to some of the eggs and let them know on the note what they should be looking for!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #f394a5; font-family: Lucida Sans Unicode; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Some ideas would be….&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Lucida Sans Unicode; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Dimes, Quarters, $1 Bills (or more if you &lt;em&gt;roll&lt;/em&gt; like that).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Lucida Sans Unicode; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Gift Certificates (you could just add one $2 or $3 certificate to a favorite ice cream shop or it could be a homemade one that is good for a batch of homemade cookies).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eggs have been a symbol of fertility, new life, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://ashleyanderson.suite101.com/the-history-of-coloring-easter-eggs-a361874#&quot; id=&quot;_GPLITA_3&quot; in_rurl=&quot;http://www.textsrv.com/click?v=VVM6MTQzNTM6NjgwOmJpcnRoOjQ5NGQzMzE5ODExOWU1MmM5ZTkyNzlkN2M1MDg2NzRjOnotMTA4Ni0yNzI5Nzphc2hsZXlhbmRlcnNvbi5zdWl0ZTEwMS5jb20%3D&quot; style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot; title=&quot;Powered by Text-Enhance&quot;&gt;birth&lt;/a&gt;,  and were adopted sometime during early Christian history as a symbol of the  resurrection of &amp;nbsp;Jesus from the dead after his crucifixion (&lt;a href=&quot;http://ashleyanderson.suite101.com/the-history-of-coloring-easter-eggs-a361874&quot;&gt;http://ashleyanderson.suite101.com/the-history-of-coloring-easter-eggs-a361874&lt;/a&gt;).&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;

Coloring eggs for Easter dates back to the thirteenth century, when it is  believed that eggs may have been a food that was forbidden during the Lenten  season due to the significance it took on in regards to Jesus. Christians would  decorate eggs during Lent and then, once Lent ended on Easter morning, would eat  the eggs.&lt;br /&gt;
Eggs were traditionally decorated in bright colors to symbolize the colors  and brightness of spring, says &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fabulousfoods.com/component/resource/article/268/21422&quot;&gt;Fabulous  Foods&lt;/a&gt;. Different cultures would decorate eggs in different ways, such as the  Greek Orthodox coloring eggs a dark red color and baking them in breads to  symbolize the blood of Christ, or the Germans using ferns, leaves, and flowers  to create different stenciling effects on eggs.&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, more elaborate Easter eggs emerged as the art of decorating  Easter eggs evolved throughout the years. The Ukranian art of Pysanki eggs, or  eggs that were decorated by layering melted beeswax and dye in various designs  to create the pattern on the egg shell. The Russians also became known for the  Faberge egg, or an elaborately designed egg that was turned into various kinds  of trinkets (&lt;a href=&quot;http://ashleyanderson.suite101.com/the-history-of-coloring-easter-eggs-a361874&quot;&gt;http://ashleyanderson.suite101.com/the-history-of-coloring-easter-eggs-a361874&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;

Modern Ways of Coloring Easter Eggs&lt;/h3&gt;
Today, Easter eggs are typically blown, or removing the egg&#39;s contents by  blowing them out of a tiny hole in the shell, or are hard boiled prior to  decorating. Blown Easter eggs can be carefully preserved and displayed year  after year, while hard boiled Easter eggs are often eaten or included in a  variety of &lt;a href=&quot;http://ashleyanderson.suite101.com/the-history-of-coloring-easter-eggs-a361874#&quot; id=&quot;_GPLITA_0&quot; in_rurl=&quot;http://www.textsrv.com/click?v=VVM6MTU1NTg6MTIwMTplYXN0ZXIgZGlubmVyOmQ3YTcxOTY5Nzg0NzFmYWUyYmE4ODYxZDQ0OWM3ZTQxOnotMTA4Ni0yNzI5Nzphc2hsZXlhbmRlcnNvbi5zdWl0ZTEwMS5jb20%3D&quot; style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot; title=&quot;Powered by Text-Enhance&quot;&gt;Easter  dinner&lt;/a&gt; dishes.&lt;br /&gt;
Eggs are decorated in a variety of ways, either by using markers, crayons,  and stickers to egg dyes to paints to &lt;a href=&quot;http://ashleyanderson.suite101.com/homemade-easter-egg-dyes-a195648&quot;&gt;eco-friendly  egg coloring dyes&lt;/a&gt; that are made out of household goods. Pysanki eggs and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pbs.org/treasuresoftheworld/faberge/fmain.html&quot;&gt;Fabrege  eggs&lt;/a&gt;, which have become increasingly rare, are sold at &lt;a href=&quot;http://ashleyanderson.suite101.com/the-history-of-coloring-easter-eggs-a361874#&quot; id=&quot;_GPLITA_2&quot; in_rurl=&quot;http://www.textsrv.com/click?v=VVM6MTQzNTM6NjgwOmF1Y3Rpb246YmI0ODI4NmNlNDhmYmQ3YjdkOGJkYTNiYTVlMDg4ZjE6ei0xMDg2LTI3Mjk3OmFzaGxleWFuZGVyc29uLnN1aXRlMTAxLmNvbQ%3D%3D&quot; style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot; title=&quot;Powered by Text-Enhance&quot;&gt;auction&lt;/a&gt;  for large sums of money.&lt;br /&gt;
Easter eggs have come a long way since their original role as a pagan symbol  of spring. Today, coloring Easter eggs has become a family tradition that  children, adults, artists, and everyday people can enjoy to celebrate Easter and  the spring season.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;How to make homemade laundry soap:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;First you will need the following ingredients (you can find these at your local grocery store):&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1/2 Cup: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0029XNTEU?tag=frugir-20&amp;amp;camp=213381&amp;amp;creative=390973&amp;amp;linkCode=as4&amp;amp;creativeASIN=B0029XNTEU&amp;amp;adid=004MVY6MMN0P69H8JYYD&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Arm &amp;amp; Hammer Super Washing Soda&lt;/a&gt; {&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;not&lt;/span&gt;  Baking Soda}&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1/2 Cup: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000RNBX0G?tag=frugir-20&amp;amp;camp=0&amp;amp;creative=0&amp;amp;linkCode=as4&amp;amp;creativeASIN=B000RNBX0G&amp;amp;adid=1TVN5NJXZSHWJFNHXDM5&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Borax&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1/3 Bar of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001B32NVO?tag=frugir-20&amp;amp;camp=213381&amp;amp;creative=390973&amp;amp;linkCode=as4&amp;amp;creativeASIN=B001B32NVO&amp;amp;adid=16VK2MACZMTRM87EZEQ6&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Fels-Naptha Soap&lt;/a&gt; {you could also use Ivory soap, but if  using Ivory… use the whole bar}&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Bucket {2 gallon size or larger}&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Empty laundry detergent containers or bucket with lid to store  detergent.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What you are going to do is:&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Grate 1/3 bar of Fels-Naptha Soap over large pot or saucepan&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Add 6 cups of Water.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Heat over medium-high until soap dissolves and melts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Add Washing Soda &amp;amp; Borax, and stir until dissolved.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Remove from heat and set aside.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Pour 4 cups Hot Water into bucket, then add Soap Mixture.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Stir, then add 1 Gallon + 6 Cups of additional water.  Stir.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Transfer to a bucket with a lid, or pour into empty laundry detergent  containers.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Set aside, and let it sit overnight, or up to 24 hours, to thicken and gel  up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Consistency and color will vary depending on your soap &amp;amp; water ~ it may  be lumpy and watery… kind of like a watery gel, but it works great!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Stir or shake before each use, as it will continue to gel.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Good job… you did it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;I have made this personally and it works really well!&amp;nbsp; You can also find out how to make homemade fabric softner by clicking &lt;a href=&quot;http://thefrugalgirls.com/2010/10/homemade-fabric-softener.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;HERE.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

If you want to know what the awful smell is then you can read &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.askannamoseley.com/2011/07/reader-question-what-is-that-creepy.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #aeb932;&quot;&gt;this post&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, but if you don&#39;t want to know what it it, you just want to get rid of it then here&#39;s a great tip for you.  &quot;Using a funnel, pour 1/2 cup of baking soda followed by 1 cup of white vinegar down the drain.  When the foaming subsides, flush with hot tap water.  Wait 5 minutes and then flush again with cold water.   This will kill [the] odor-causing bacteria&quot; without having to use any harsh chemicals.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
If you&#39;re drain has been running a little slower than normal &quot;pour in 1/2 cup of salt followed by 2 cups of boiling white vinegar.  Flush [down the drain] with hot and cold tap water &quot; {same as above}.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;#2 Bathtub/Shower&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To keep the bathtub/shower clean keep a spray bottle of vinegar and a sponge in the shower and spray it down every couple of days.   This will eliminate the build up of bacteria and keep the shower extra shiny!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;#3 Toilet Bowl&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
To clean the toilet bowl and get rid of that awful water ring, that&#39;s just above the water line, &quot;pour 2 cups of white vinegar into the toilet bowl and let the solution soak &lt;b&gt;overnight&lt;/b&gt; before flushing.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;#4 Hard water spots&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&quot;To remove hard water spots from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.askannamoseley.com/2012/03/vinegar-tips-cleaning-bathroom.html#&quot; id=&quot;_GPLITA_0&quot; in_rurl=&quot;http://www.textsrv.com/click?v=VVM6MTM1Njc6MzU2OnNpbmtzOjMzNzY5MDIxNGZjYTU5NjNmODMyOTFhNzQ0ZDQxYzZjOnotMTA4Ni0yNzI5Nzp3d3cuYXNrYW5uYW1vc2VsZXkuY29t&quot; style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot; title=&quot;Powered by Text-Enhance&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #aeb932;&quot;&gt;sinks&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, showers and baths, wipe using a cloth soaked in full-strength vinegar.  Allow to stand for about 5 minutes and then rinse with water.&quot;   &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
Another great way to stay on top of water spots is to keep a spray bottle of white vinegar in the bathroom and just before brushing your teeth, going to the bathroom, etc. spray the bathroom fixtures down with vinegar and then when you are finished brushing your teeth, etc. rinse the fixtures with cold water and dry them off with the hand towel.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;#5 Jacuzzi tub&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
It&#39;s important to clean jacuzzi tubs and to keep the jets clean and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.askannamoseley.com/2012/03/vinegar-tips-cleaning-bathroom.html#&quot; id=&quot;_GPLITA_1&quot; in_rurl=&quot;http://www.textsrv.com/click?v=VVM6MTgxNTg6MTIxOmZyZWU6MjQ1MWU0ZmE1ZTdkOTczMDc0NTllNjY1ZGJiMDhlYzQ6ei0xMDg2LTI3Mjk3Ond3dy5hc2thbm5hbW9zZWxleS5jb20%3D&quot; style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot; title=&quot;Powered by Text-Enhance&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #aeb932;&quot;&gt;free&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; from bacteria and clogging.  To clean a jacuzzi tub fill it up and &quot;pour about 4 1/2 liters of white vinegar into the water.&quot; Run the vinegar/water mix through the jets for a few minutes, then drain the tub and wipe it clean.  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
Do this at least once a year, I recommend every 6 months as part of your Spring Cleaning and Fall Cleaning routines.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;#6 Vinyl Floors&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
To keep vinyl floors clean scrub them with a mixture of &quot;1/2 cup of white vinegar in a bucket of hot water.&quot;  &quot;Not only [will] this keep the floors shiny but it kills dust mites.&quot;  Woo-hoo for tackling 2 tasks with one chore!&lt;/div&gt;
