So I was just visiting one of my frequented couponing blogs at
Southern Savers and found a recipe for homemade vanilla extract. So it's not baby related but it is awesome. It takes a while but saves a ton.
Here is the recipe. Let me know if you try it. I think I may take on that project soon. Especially if I want to use it by time to start baking for Christmas as the lady says in the recipe.
