The DIY Laundry Detergent Trials...

Well, I have explained to my husband what Pinterest is (and then told him to never act like he knew what Pinterest was because it is NOT manly what so ever!)... Well, regardless of how he knew about it, a friend told him about the DIY Laundry Detergent. He likes to keep his pocketbook under lock and key, and when he heard a penny per load, he was stoked. (Our current detergent says it saves us approximately 23 cents per load).

So, last night Blake brought in a 5 gallon bucket in which he had rigged a little pour spout with a toggle. (He is sooo clever). I, of course, am pretty excited about his 'crafty' adventure.

So, for those of you who are wanting to make it... here are my thoughts! (Also, check back for updates because I do ALOT of laundry.)

Day 1: I walked in the house after running a few errands and think, something smells pretty awesome!! It is my DIY detergent!!! We use Febreeze Noticeables, Bath and Body Works Wallflowers, and Scentsy products ---- and over all of those, I smell a fresh, clean scent coming from my laundry room! So already... I could care less how clean my clothes are, this detergent is great! (haha). In the meantime... I currently am running my first load of laundry with the detergent. I will post later about it's scent, and once I get to the baby's clothes I will let you know about the cleanliness!

Blakely Anne is ONE year owled! :)

I have been receiving a lot of questions about where I got things from Blakely's party, so I decided that we needed a blog entry for it so that everyone can come here whenever they need it! :) Enjoy!

The party was held at the Marriott of the Shoals Park pavillion (beside the Splash pad in Florence, Alabama). To reserve it, Call the Florence Park Authority. Call a few months in advance!!!! 
Blakely's Party Banners were handmade from a great Etsy Seller... wburley74. Ciaobambino created her monthly photo banner, as well as her cupcake toppers. the little Owl favor bags held a trail mix and were created by 4DoorsDownDesigns. Amy's Cakes of Florence, Alabama made Blakely's guest cake, smash cake, and cupcakes. Her cake was three different flavors --- and it only lasted a few minutes!!! The owl was designed by Buttercup Petit Fours (who also designed the little owl marshmallows that I completely forgot to get a photo of!) And of course, her giant photo was done by us at PbK Studio! Her water bottles (pictured below) were designed by PbK Studio and sent to Danielle's Designs to be printed, they were waterproof and just stuck on! **CONVENIENT**. Anyway, enjoy the pics and kudos to all who helped make her party a success ( except that it was 30 degrees in the middle of May! haha!)
