How Do I Use Fels-Naptha Laundry Bar?
It's easy! For pre-treating your stains, all you have to do is wet the stained area with water, then rub the laundry bar over it (I like to do both sides) then wait a few minutes -(this is a great time to go get a cup of coffee or tea while Fels-Naptha does what it does)- and then toss the stained item into your washing machine and wash as usual. For less soiled areas/stains, you may simply wet the bar and rub it across the stain, either way is acceptable.
What if I have a really bad stain, do I need to do anything differently?
Use a brush to work in the Fels-Naptha bar really well into the area that you have wetted, and then wash as usual. You can even use chlorine bleach in the same wash load as your Fels-Naptha pre-treated clothes!
What if I want to use Fels-Naptha as a laundry booster, can I do that?
Yes, simply grate about half a bar of Fels-Naptha into your washer, let it fill with water and agitate for a few minutes, (so the grated pieces can dissolve) then add your laundry to the machine and wash as usual. If you are washing a smaller load, or less heavily soiled laundry, then you may grate/use less than half a bar.
What if I made a mistake in the past, and want it erased, will Fels-Naptha laundry bar do that?
Not unless that mistake involved staining a friend's clothes that you borrowed without her permission and are wanting to remove those stains with Fels-Naptha laundry bar before she finds out!
Fels-Naptha is sold at many locations, click here to find a retailer most convenient to you!

Supermoon!

Did you get a chance to see the perigee moon -also known as a "Supermoon"- last night? If you didn't, don't lament, you will get two more chances this year to view it on August 10th, 2014 and September 9th, 2014!
View of supermoon outside our home last night!
What exactly is a perigee moon, aka: supermoon? 
In simple terms, it's when the moon is full at the same day as the perigee, or elliptical path of the moon's orbit in which the moon (or satellite) is closest to the earth, which is a little over 31,069 miles (or 50,000 kilometers) in comparison to our other full moons on the apogee when the moon (or satellite) is furthest in orbit from our little place in space called earth. If the clouds aren't in the way, you will see that the moon appears brighter, bigger and lower-hanging during one of these "Supermoon" times. 

How often does this happen?
Despite my geeky excitement over it, this happens approximately every 13 months and 18 days, so it's not super-rare, but it is super-cool to go outside and admire!

On August 10th, 2014:
 The supermoon will be extra special (should we dub it a "super-duper moon?") due to the fact that during the same hour (as opposed to day) as perigee, the moon will become full.

If you would like to learn more about the fascinating happenings in our night sky, a good place to start would be NASA Science, where you can find lots of great information about supermoons and more!
Enjoying the beauty of God's handiwork...
 Psalm 8:3-4 (ESV)
3 When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
    the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
4 what is man that you are mindful of him,
    and the son of man that you care for him?
