Homemade Laundry Detergent

1 bar grated Fels Naptha
3 cups Borax
2 cups washing soda
2 cups baking soda

Mix well and use 2 tablespoons per load.

I have been making this laudry detergent since right after C was born. I wanted a gentle detergent with a limited amount of chemicals. This is the first recipe I tried and it works great.

 

Bento box

C just started a new daycare that does not provide lunch. So I am trying out this bento box.

All Better :)

Almost done with the antibiotics and C is feeling great! AND sleeping great! We have a follow up visit with the Doc on Thursday to confirm the pneumonia is gone.

Also today C had to get his blood drawn (to test his thyroid levels).  It was a slightly traumatic experience for all of us. He did not cry at the needle poke but the lady could not find his vain and was poking around for a while. Which started the tears and wails. Poor guy. But as soon as it was done (which felt like forever but was probably only 30 seconds), C was deciding between a cookie and ice cream at the hospital cafeteria and a happy boy.

More sickness

Well the past 2 weeks have been a bit rough.

C's right ear drum ruptured on Jan 23 and on Feb 5th his was diagnosed with pneumonia. Ugg.

The only good news that I can see is they caught the pneumonia early. On Friday Feb 3rd's doc appointment (for his ear) his lungs were clear but on Sunday's follow up app they found the pneumonia. Right now we are on our second course of antibiotics. C does seem to be feeling OK right now and is sleeping well, so hopefully he will get better quickly.

Happy 2nd Birthday!
