About Me

I'm an army wife, working mom of 2 kids.! My husband Tim is a Soldier In the army. I work for MWR for the Community Recreation Division as an admin assistant...I absolutely LOVE my job I couldn't have found anything better! My daughter, Kennedie, was born in January of 04 and our son, Cale, was born June of 09. Kennedie is VERY involved in dancing, she is in her 11th season (2019-2020) of being a competitive dancer. It's exhausting but we LOVE it. Cale is starting to REALLY get into sports. He is on a year round wrestling team, and he plays baseball in the spring! This blog started out as a recipe sharing venture but now it's going to turn into a more "granola" way to live. Cheap recipes more homemade recipes and re-purposing things. I'm a crafter at heart so I'm going to throw some of that in there too! On Valentines Day of 2017 we bought our first Travel Trailer. I'll be documenting our travels also on this blog!

make it yourself gel ice packs

*****THIS WILL ONLY WORK WITH THE ORIGIANAL GREEN PALMOLIVE*****
 This is a pretty easy process.  The above is what you need to make this happen.  (what didn't make it into the picture was my packaging tape)  The bottle was full before I made my first bag - so it takes about half a bottle to make one gel pack.  I had a coupon for .40 off this bottle so I got it for a little less than $2.00.  Basically all you do is fill up the baggie about half way up with the detergent, zip close, fold down the zipper part and tape shut with the packing tape and then I reinforced that tape with another piece of tape.  I then put it into another bag and popped in the freezer over night.  (it was starting to turn this mint green about an hour after I put it in there though so I don't think it would take overnight for this to be complete.)
This is what it looks like all frozen.  It's pretty pliable and I think my husband will like it for his knee tonight!
