I used 3 measuring cups that go over the extra large liquid detergent bottles.

One I filled with baking soda

One I only filled half way with laundry detergent.

I threw all cups into the washer and washed it in the 3-hour Power Cycle!

HOMEMAKING IS MORE THAN HOUSEKEEPING

Quote given to me by my daughter, Nicole.

“Homemaking takes into account the spiritual values: love, peace, tranquility, harmony among family members, security. It makes of a place of residence a spot to which family members can retire from a confused and troubled world and find understanding and rejuvenation. Its character is quietness; it evidences good taste, culture, and refinement. Men, women and children alike have their individual contributions to make to good home and family life, and each shares in its benefits.”

 – Belle S. Spafford, served as ninth general president of the Relief Society of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, from April 6, 1945 until October 3, 1974.
