so, my trip to NH did not yield any lye as I had hoped. However, I did find a goat milk soap making class in November & e-mailed them to sign up for that. The best part, all the supplies are included so I won’t have to run around and look for random ingredients. Very excited.

How I did it: We removed a cabinet, replaced the vanity, repainted the walls, changed the hard ware, the accessories, etc. Just a cosmetic overhaul. I got it done in time for my daughter's birthday party this weekend- after having had it sit half complete for a very, very long time- so now my family won't get to make any more negative comments when they use our powder room at the party. The photo isn't the best, but you can see the cu… Read how I did it…
How I did it: We used a sticker chart and prizes for motivation. She was clearly ready, she just never wanted to stop what she was doing to go use the bathroom, so the prizes and stickers were the incentive she needed. Read how I did it…
I’m good enough, I’m smart enough and dog ‘gone it, people like me! ;-)
Lye, essential for making soap, is not allowed for sale in my state… thankfully, I live in New England so other states are really close by and you CAN buy lye there. They apparently don’t fear their citizens judgement enough to take it off the market in our neighboring states. Or maybe they’re going with natural selection and trying to weed out some of the weaker specimens through chemical burns… I don’t know for sure. Either way, I’m going to be in the land of “Live Free or Die”, where I can buy my lye… and fireworks… and firearms… those crazy neighbors to our north have it all. So let the soap making commence in 2 weeks!!!
