I know... you're thinking what I was thinking-- "WHAT are soap nuts?!!" Di at Woolie Wanderings introduced these to me. You put one in a little muslin bag in your washing machine and it cleans your clothes naturally! They are the dried fruit of the Chinese Soapberry Tree. People in Eastern Asia use them to do their laundry. So of course I have to try it! I sent for a sample to see how it works. We have an "he" washer so it doesn't take much soap to do a load. I'll report how it goes after they come here. (I am ALWAYS doing laundry!).Speaking of nuts, a BIG shout out to my stepdad Jim today: "Happy Birthday Jim!!!!". He is the original non-conformist and a brilliant man who has probably heard of these soap nuts before! Hope you're having a great birthday ... on the golf course, I'm sure!

PS - I love the photo of the nuts ! I feel a bit like a squirrel ! I want to eat them !!! But I know that they are stuck inside the apple box ! So, I can't get them :)
Well I learn something new every time I come to your blog Bethany, and that is why I love all this blogging stuff.
I have never heard about soap nuts either, I am looking forward to your report as to how they faired.
A big Happy Birthday to your stepdad, I hope he has a wonderful day.
Thank you so much for your prayers and your thoughtfulness. Your comment was a comfort during this difficult time, and we have reread so many for encouragement over the last weeks. Thank you. (we will try to work on the giving up diet coke too!!)

Can't wait to hear how they work...and happy birthday to your stepdad!
I have not heard of these! Let us know how the laundry turns out. I'm truly fascinated.
I am curious to know how they work, how long they last and what you do with them when they are spent.
It was nice talking to you today. Hope you were able to funnel all your creative energies!!!
