Last to Leave? Lights Out, Please!

    Me and my co works taking time to pick up trash outside on our walks. Feels better when we all chip in to help.

    I made my first patch of home made laundry soap. Super easy. My husband likes it better then store brands. Better for the environment, cost effective, and clothes look great!
