Homemade Liquid Hand Soap

This is something that I've pinned recently.  Last night it was Jaycee's job to clean the toilet and sink in the kids' bathroom.  Once she was done cleaning the sink, she decided that we needed to refill the soap.  We were out of soap, so I told her that we needed to buy more. . . . .

OR, we could make it!
 
So, she and I found our Pin from Pinterest and set to work.  Luckily, we had everything we needed on hand.  It is really pretty easy to make your own liquid handsoap.
 
You need:
Water
Bar soap (we used Ivory)
Glycerin
Stove
Pot
Spoon

Here are some of our pics of making liquid hand soap.
(can you tell we used this grater for crayons last time?)
