Foaming Hand Soap

I used to buy the foam hand soap from Bath and Body Works till I vowed to try to be better at budgeting my moolaa.  Now this is what I do.  I bought a few of these Dial hand soaps from Walmart and I refill them about every 2 weeks.  We seem to go through a lot of hand soap now that I have two little people running a muck.

We just use the bulk bottle of hand soap whether is from Costco or Walmart- where ever the best deal is or I am

You can use any brand of bottled of hand soap as long as it has the foaming dispenser top.

We fill the bottle about a 1/4 to 1/3 full of the soap, then add hot water to the rest of the bottle.  It needs to be hot to mix with the soap.  Sometimes we add a dot of food coloring for the kids bathroom and let them choose the color.

So easy! So much less money running out my door…or down my sink.

Nasty White Tile and Dirty Grout!

Yuck!  I hate this tile… it annoys me so.  Today in my madness of spring-ish cleaning, I thought I conquer the nasty dirty grout.  I feel like I have tried so many things to clean this.  But!  good news I found something.  AND MAN!  It was amazing.  Who knew Lemons and Baking Soda! My friend Cynthia did a little class once on using lemons to clean and inspired my to try this out.

I didn’t measure things out.  I used one lemon and a whole-lotta baking soda to make a paste.  I spread it around my grout and then scrubbed a little.  Waa laa magic!

My Relief Society group had a night of lemons!  With little mini classes on cleaning, decorating, and eating them.  Very fun night.
