$ Money Saving Tip $

I recently found out how to make your own foaming soap! I love foaming soap but it’s usually expensive. Here’s how to make your own! (You’ll need to buy foaming soap once, and then use the container once it’s empty).

  • Fill an empty foaming soap bottle with approx. 1/2 inch of liquid hand soap (clear soaps work the best).
  • Slowly fill the rest of the bottle with warm tap water.
  • Put lid back on, and gently tip upside down & side to side to mix. Don’t shake, as it will get too sudsy.
  • You can also do this with your dish soap! I used Dawn to refill my Dawn Direct Foam bottle and it worked great!

Ongoing Events

January 2-31. Knott’s Berry Farm and the Orange County Food Bank are partnering once again to help local families facing hunger with our tenth annual Canned Food Drive. From January 2-31, 2012, guests that donate two or more cans of food will receive regular admission for only $27.99! This is a great deal for guests, and the donated food is fulfilling a significant need in our area.

Upcoming Events

January 28. 10 a.m. FREE Build and Grow Clinic at Lowes. Bring your child to Lowe's and they can build a project. The kids get goggles and an apron and a kit to build an item. They use hammers their size and get a patch afterward for completing the project. I would recommend getting there early.
