2.Make your own hand soap - I found a recipe to turn bar soap into hand soap. One bar is equal to two 2 gallon jugs. Bought a bar of Mrs Meyers Basil bar soap to try it out.

3.Evie Gene is 16 months old. Time is warped, the first year of her life was the longest year of my life that feels like it flew by....what? Yes, exhaustingly long fast year haha(unsure laugh). She is getting so big, and clever, and funny. I love her so much. I actually get cuddles now. lots of kisses and hugs.
My big girl has made so many big steps since Christmas.

 mom, dad, tess, nana, pa, grandma, grandpa, good, yes, bo, sit, dog, duck, bye, bu bye, hi guys, bye guys, hi(name), foofa(yah), 
she is also starting to mimic/repeat what you say
 she understands requests like bring me(something), sit on your couch, wheres the dog, stop that(not that she actually stops) and many others
- loves giving kisses
