It has a slight scent, but doesn&#39;t leave one with the clothes. I use fabric softener to give it a nice smell. Ive been very pleased with it. It hasn&#39;t been harsh on our clothes at all and aside from a few harsh stains, has gotten everything clean. I have found Fels naptha at Kroger and Walmart. Hope this helps!Jamie Mizellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056777479897270879.post-85147973006680963312012-03-15T20:59:07.632-05:002012-03-15T20:59:07.632-05:00Hey AJ, does Fels Naptha come scented? I bet it is better on several levels if it is actually made for laundry. I like the smell of the soap I am using, but I am not sure that it is the best option. I will definitely be checking into that! :)Christy Simmonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17225909738890540342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056777479897270879.post-50061067365248539162012-03-14T15:35:12.650-05:002012-03-14T15:35:12.650-05:00this is very similar to the receipe my wife and I use, except for the soap we use fels naptha soap. It is a laundry soap vs a body soap. i&#39;m not sure how much of a difference it makes but its just the receipe we foundAJ Marroquinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056777479897270879.post-1125636446105206852012-03-01T10:59:49.077-06:002012-03-01T10:59:49.077-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Jacob Simmonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14975880650641983353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056777479897270879.post-84773673157964135932012-02-29T10:16:39.711-06:002012-02-29T10:16:39.711-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Jacob Simmonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14975880650641983353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056777479897270879.post-16525785984724062232011-11-28T20:05:50.220-06:002011-11-28T20:05:50.220-06:00Kelli! <br />I loved meeting you and your precious family too!

He will not fail you! Your verses were perfec to continue to pray and &quot;take captive&quot; every thought that rises with fear. Believe the truth .. and one of those is that though you don&#39;t have your earthly birth mom around, you have many surrogate mothers who are here for you to tell you to &quot;be strong in the Lord&quot; and life will not always be like it feels today!

It echoes some deep feelings I&#39;ve had lately and conversations I&#39;ve had with my husband, as well as giving me some new perspective and reminding me of what I need to do going forward in my walk with God and what He wants me (and my family) to do. Thank you so much! Reading your writing took me back to our junior year in high school English and all the writing we edited for each other!

That mixed with the dual language stuff ought to make this kid unstoppable in ANYTHING he wants to pursue. It is just cool... I told him you thought he was awesome :) He loved that!

It is just the norm. ‘No big deal.’ Being a &quot;qualified GT teacher&quot; I have noticed little things about Jared from day one. (Studying Giftedness in students is my thing.) His giftedness shines like a million light bulbs around his head, to me... Always has. Being gifted has many pros and cons. I just hope that his ideas are nurtured and that he is continually encouraged to explore them, throughout his education. Funny that I read this today... I just left an all day GT conference! I have tons of literature on this if ya ever need/ want it!! I love this! You go Jared! “What box?”Kari and Coryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07802045296581268158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056777479897270879.post-27048668470873610592011-06-06T11:41:54.293-05:002011-06-06T11:41:54.293-05:00That&#39;s unreal!!!
