I have made some soap when my Daughters were younger and still at home. Mostly so they could learn about what "the old days" were like when Dad and Mom were their age. Soap making is kind of expensive to do these days. A lot cheaper and easier to just buy a bar of soap from the store. But they had fun learning.

We taught our Daughters a lot of things that aren't commonly done these days. But were things we did everyday to have a normal life. Everything from gardening and canning to sewing to soap making to how to raise and kill and butcher an animal.
