Celebrate National Hangout Day! 

From the website:  http://www.laundrylist.org/programs/education/70-national-hanging-out-day

"Every year, on April 19th, Project Laundry List joins together with hundreds of organizations from around the country to educate communities about energy consumption. National Hanging Out Day was created to demonstrate how it is possible to save money and energy by using a clothesline.

The Concept

For many people, hanging out clothes is therapeutic work. It is the only time during the week that some folks can slow down to feel the wind and listen to the birds. Consistent use of clotheslines or drying racks can save the average household much more than a hundred dollars every year in energy bills. Clothes last longer and smell better, too".

Wash your laundry with my natural, powder laundry detergent and hang it out to dry on your very own solar powered clothes dryer, the clothes line! 

Leave a comment below with your email address and you will be entered to win a 1.5 lb. bag of my detergent! 

I will ship anywhere in the USA.    Contest ends Friday April 20th.  Your email address will not be shared with anyone, I promise.  I may send you an occasional newsletter or Casco Bay Soap Co. update, which you will be able to opt. out of.  Thanks and GOOD LUCK!

Happy Easter

My Marshmallows!

I had posted the other day a link to an easy recipe for some fun chocolate covered marshmallows...well, I made them (about 40 of them) and here they are!

A Fun Treat

I am planning to make these super adorable dressed up marshmallows for Easter this weekend.  

Aren't they great?  They look soo pretty!  I have quite a collection of sprinkles, edible glitter and various other decorations that will be perfect for decorating these little clouds on a stick.  I am sure that all the kids, big and small, are going to enjoy them.  Look closely at the picture.  See there, in the middle?  They have also made a marshmallow into a mini cake, perfect for a birthday celebration!  Brilliant!
