My husband and I make a good team. I ask/remind/encourage/strongly suggest that we need to do something and he makes it happen. We were down to our two last bars of soap from the batch we made last December, so it was time. We kept it simple and followed the same recipe, using olive oil, palm oil, and coconut oil, plus ground oatmeal and peppermint extract. I absolutely love using our own homemade soap. Just as important as putting good food IN your body, is using healthy ingredients ON your body. (Though I know that palm oil isn't such a good thing and coconut and olive oil aren't exactly local ingredients, so this soap isn't guilt free.) However, it makes me smile every time I suds up and now we don't have to worry about buying soap for another whole year! (As long as I remember to remove it from the tub before the little babe takes a bath - she can somehow make a whole bar of soap vanish in one bath session!)
