homemade laundry soap

Thanks to Missy for giving me the nudge I needed to finally try making our own laundry soap. I made a batch up after this post back in August. Eight weeks before Wren was born! Here we are now, twelve weeks after Wren's birth, and we still have an ice cream pail full. I can hear the savings adding up in my head.
I knew that pail won't last much longer (the piles of laundry in this house are of mountainous proportions) so in a preemptive move I set to work mixing up another few gallons (!) today.
