want to know that my clothes are actually getting clean, before I jump on the bandwagon!

The 4 basic ingredients of homemade laundry detergent are Borax, Arm & Hammer Washing Soda, Arm & Hammer Baking Soda and Fels-Naptha bar soap. I also added Oxi Clean and doTERRA Wild Orange essential oil, to give it a little extra cleaning power, and a delicious citrus scent. Check out my full post to see how/why each of the ingredients work to create the best, most effective laundry detergent. Click here: http://askannamoseley.com/2013/05/the-best-h...

Edit: This detergent can be used in a front loading washing machine, there are instructions if you click on the link above. It is also safe to use if you have a septic system, I researched all of the individual ingredients and they are all safe to use. My sister has been using this for years on her septic system and she has never had any problems.

This room was originally designated as the Breakfast Room; however, it best fit our needs as a Sunroom/Keeping Room...the use of the room for this purpose far outweighed our needs for a breakfast room...as we have many places to dine within close proximity. I first posted this room a while back and so very pleased that many have viewed this room and enjoyed it as much as we have.

The furniture is from Lane Venture, the drapes are Enchanted Garden from Calico Corners...I love adding pops of red to this room of green. It is a wonderful room to relax and enjoy a wonderful cup of coffee and my favorite magazine...
