Alternative Laundry Supplies & Redbuds & Frozen Kefir

     Today although pretty cool we have bright full sunshine and so far no wind. Last night the winds were really strong again with at freezing night temperatures.

   The redbuds are still pretty here too even after all the crazy weather. I just took these photos now, this pretty red bud tree sits behind my mailbox. The red roof is our garage

Below photo is me standing on top of our driveway looking at this pretty red bud in our neighbor's yard

Have any of you tried out the new laundry supplies available now-pods-sheets?  With my different allergies I have always needed to go with fragrance free on everything. I had been using the All fragrance free pods for awhile  now. At Sam's Club they were always a good buy opposed to the stores.

  The last couple of years though I have been trying out more earth friendly packaging  I bought when on sale Free the Ocean's laundry sheets. They do a good job but too expensive even on sale. 

  Over a year ago now I tried out Clean People pods for laundry. I love them and their packing is in cardboard little boxes. When they had a big sale last year I stocked up and they were less expensive than All pods were.  Clean People is based in Canada  some products like laundry pods made in America.  

    Instead of liquid bottles of non chlorine bleach-they offer a granular product that works really really well.

 I find the pods or sheets work equally well but I like the pods

     I haven't found a ice cream I like---less sugar, less lactose, less fat so I decided to freeze up some peach kefir that I also added organic diced canned peaches to.  So easy turned out perfect. Next time I will add a bit of sweetener
