No real tips from me, except that when your toddler won't go to sleep without you in the room, you can leave well wishes here with an iPhone under the crib. Congratulations on the new house.

It's much cheaper and it's got everything that regular commercial soap has except for heavy perfumes, inflated costs for packaging and advertising and so on. (As far as I know, the only difference is that I have to order some of the ingredients from a local medical-supply store, while US residents can get them in the local supermarket.) <a href="http://modcottage.com/?p=117" rel="nofollow">Here's how to make dry laundry soap</a>. <a href="http://www.thesimpledollar.com/2007/03/15/how-to-make-your-own-laundry-detergent-and-save-big-money/" rel="nofollow">Here's how to make the wet variety</a>, and here's <a href="http://www.thefamilyhomestead.com/laundrysoap.htm" rel="nofollow">a smaller version of the same recipe</a>.

The cats look supremely contented, and the longer you are there, the happier they will be. Another homeowner tip: assess all of your various appliances, and buy extended warranties where possible. Repairs are now hideously expensive (especially with devices with a digital input/readout), and things fail. Frequently. Belated congratulations on your new home.
