Home made dishwasher detergent

Ingredients:

1 cup Borax
1 cup super washing soda (arm and hammer)
1/2 cup kosher salt
1/4 cup lemi shine.

Use white vinegar as your rinse agent.

I use 1 Tablespoon per load.

This worked really good, no hard water spots.

Graduation

 

It is that time of year again! Graduation. I have survived 2 kids getting their diploma. I'm getting ready to survive the 3rd. I've decided that this milestone doesn't need to break the bank, not that I have the money for it anyway.

So, we didn't order announcements. I'll make my own. 
I didn't order graduation pictures. I'll take my own.
We aren't ordering a cake. I'll make my own.
 His party will be at home with food that I cook and drinks that I make.

I have always lived frugally so why should this be any different.

My big expense will be a camera. My son broke mine. But, I will get many more uses out of it with the other kids, and my grandchildren.

Once we decide on something. I'll post the pictures here and give instructions. I'm hoping to help someone else save a buck.
