Recently, we’ve been asked why we use titanium dioxide in our black raspberry, clean cotton, and ocean goat milk soaps. We add a tiny amount because those three soaps tend to take on a grey hue. The titanium dioxide lightens the soap and makes them a lot prettier. We feel that adding small amounts of titanium dioxide to [...]
The Jonases are all about working hard. If you look at all that we do, that’s fairly obvious. But we also like to play hard when the work is done. But working hard and playing hard don’t have to be mutually exclusive. The best way is when you can work hard and have fun while [...]
Our new house is not yet finished, so we’ve been commuting back and forth from Charlestown to Scottsburg every day. It’s about a 25 minute drive and while we’ll be happy when we no longer need to do it, the commute isn’t too terrible. But during kidding season, being 25 minutes away was outside of [...]
We work very hard to be present at the birth of all of our goats. Sometimes we miss, but that is very rare. People often think we’re over-vigilant and worry needlessly. I’ve been told before, “They’re goats, birth is a natural process, they’ll be fine.” To which I respond, “Yes, many goats (like people) can [...]

I love the concept of halfway there. The idea is that a distance between two things can always be cut in half, bringing them very close together in a few steps. Unfortunately, going halfway can never ever actually get the two items completely together. For instance, even if a football team only has 20 yards [...]
I love the sunshine. Sunny days just make me happy and put a big smile on my face. One of the reasons we go to Florida every winter is because I really need to escape to some warm weather and sunshine to make it through the winter or I get very cranky. This winter has [...]

At Goat Milk Stuff, we are so thankful for the many blessings we’ve been given. We get to work hard as a family to assist people in keeping their skin healthy. Because there is so much work for us to do within the family and the business, it would be easy for our focus [...]

We bottle raise our baby goats. When they are first born, they’re all fed with an individual bottle. Once the babies are drinking well from their bottle (after 2-3 days), we switch them over to a lambar. A lambar is just a communal milk jug with many nipples sticking out of it. The kids get really [...]
We bottle raise our babies because it keeps all the goats healthier and the babies friendlier. When they are first born, they get 4 bottles a day. As they grow, the number of bottles decreases until they’re weaned. That’s a lot of bottles, so everybody pitches in, even Jade: It takes a little while for [...]
Very rarely do I ever complain or whine here on my blog. But I confess, I feel the need to do just that because… I am overwhelmed!! It doesn’t happen to me often because I work really hard to maintain margin in my life and not do too much. But life has some how gotten [...]
