The Report!

Alright, so I think I like my new detergent. I did a load of sheets and the like and they feel nice, they smell decent. They do not smell like yummy lemon fresh or yummy spring fresh, and this is honestly kind of a big deal for me.


I'm going to sit online for hours tonight trying to find a solution that isn't essential oils (I can't imagine they'd work well in a powder...or would they? if you know please please let me know!) James has suggested lemon zest but my concern is that the oils from that could leave residue on such things as baby clothes or cloth diapers and then I'd be causing more damage to the poor as yet birthed child than is worthwhile.


On a happy note though, the nursery is 95% ready...its now a matter of me just getting over this anal obsession on placement of dresser, chair, change table, etc. I'm kinda being ridiculous about it, and I'm sure Mikey is seconds away from killing me sometimes, but hey, the feeling is mutual.


Oooh...things I want from the "save energy, save the world" type businesses out there: CFL's (compact fluorescents) that can be on a dimmer switch. K thanks!
