Well I need to make another batch of
homemade liquid laundry detergent.
I'm using a half cup of detergent in each load.
Hey if it only cost $1.25 to make for a 5 gallon bucket
and it lasted 2 months for about 32-40 loads,
I'm all for it!!
Some people say when making their own
soap that they miss the fragrance like brand names.
I read this tip that might help solve that.
You know those laundry detergent samples you get,
well add that in with your batch of soap
you make to get a little fragrance.
As for my fabric softener I make
a mixture that is diluted half and half.
I get double the fabric softener for my money.

For breakfast around here I mixed regular
rice krispies with cocoa krispies in a big
plastic container. Actually it was almost a full
box of regular and about 1/3 - 1/2 box of cocoa krispies.
This helps to cut
down on sugar and the kids still feel as
though they are eating their favorite cereals!
If it's not sweet enough for them then I add
a packet of sweet n low to their cereal.
Still, no added real sugar!

If so you may want to go HERE and log in
to see if you may have gotten a free
$10 to $20 certificate to use in their stores
before Christmas!
I could have sworn I had one when we purchased
our tv but I'll be darned if I can access it.
Getting flustered!! I could really use it!
Just last night I was talking about
getting a Norton Antivirus.

This certificate would have made it

Well it's almost 10:30am.
I got some extra gifts I found wrapped up.
They were for my in-laws.
I need to tidy up the house and put the laundry away.
With kids home from school it is a
constant battle!
My head and body is starting to hurt
so gonna go grab some ibuprofen.

These Sing-A-Ma-Jigs are supposed
to be one of the hot toys this year.
They look a little creepy if you ask me!
Who designed these things???
Kinda looks like one of these things!

Hey why not?
I've seen Easter and Valentine's things
in stores already.
So here's a cute bunny cupcake.
Looks like you slice a large marshmallow
in half for his cheeks and slice mini
marshmallows in half for teeth.
Use chocolate candies for eyes
and jelly beans for a nose.
Cut out paper ears and insert in cupcakes.

9:35pm
Currently working on a plan B with cupcakes because
I did a couple trial an error marshmallow
cupcakes and they didn't turn out.
Something told me they wouldn't
that's why I tested a few cupcakes
before ruining a whole batch of cake mix.
So onto plan B.
This is something I made up!
I'll call it Swiss Fudge Rolls.
I poured a thin layer of cake batter
onto a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper,
baked 350 degrees for about 6 minutes.
It's thin so didn't take long to bake.
I then took a kitchen towel and sprinkled powdered
sugar all over it, flipped the cake onto it
and gently peeled off the wax paper.
Then sprinkled more powdered sugar on top
of the cake and then rolled the cake up,
towel and all. Allow to rest and cool.
Meanwhile in a double boiler, melt some white
chocolate. Once melted remove from heat and
stir in about a 3/4 can of frosting, I used cream cheese
flavored. Stir until it somewhat starts to thicken.
Unroll cake and gently spread fudge over top.
Then starting at one end, roll cake up, using
towel to push it along as it can be fragile.
Cut into slices and allow to sit for a couple
hours or overnight so the fudge can harden.
This isn't your ordinary swiss roll with
a cream filling.
Instead the white filling is fudge!
