Laundry and Taxes

A lot of my time over the last few weeks has been filled by working to get everything ready for our accountant to do our business taxes. I switched accounting programs mid-year so it has been quite task to check and double check everything. To add to it all when I updated the new program in December it changed all entered checks to  one payee and budget category. Finally, I have finished and have delivered the files to our accountant. Whew!

During this time period with all of the extra work I've been doing I have had little time to do much more than surface clean and do laundry basics. I'm still looking into the make your own laundry soap vs. well made plant based soaps. I bought all the ingredients for making my own laundry detergent this week except for the bar soap I need. I may just settle for a some from Trader Joe's but wanted to look around a bit first. I'm also considering adding some essential oils - just need to do a bit more research first.

My eldest daughter Kristin has decided to try blogging and her first blog entry happens to be about the challenges of a mom w/ lots of little ones being motivated to do the laundry. Her blog is located at http://purposefulhomemaker.blogspot.com/

One other sort of odd tidbit of note, I ordered a grow your own mushroom kit from  http://everythingmushrooms.com and it arrived yesterday. We are attempting shitake mushrooms on a grow block in our kitchen. I'll post some pictures as they appear (that is a statement of faith!).
