Work Hard. Get Dirty. Use Good Soap.
Today in the soap room we… Unmolded “Emery’s Flower Garden” goat milk soap: Unmolded mimosa mandarin goat milk soap: Unmolded some fancy pink sugary goat milk soaps we made yesterday: Mixed a batch of cider press goat milk soap logs (as well as chardonnay logs): Fooled around with our siblings: Another good day in [...]
It’s kidding season at Goat Milk Stuff and soon there will be baby goats everywhere! We’re going to have a contest to see if anyone can guess the number of baby girl and baby boy goats we’re having this season. Last year we freshened 18 does and had 38 kids (14 doelings and 24 bucklings). [...]
My children love it when it snows. Personally, I like snow for skiing and sledding, but that’s about it. Actually, I also think fresh snow makes everything look prettier. So I had to get a few photos of the new soap room with its first snow. It looks pretty, don’t you think?
We’ve had a lot of people in Scottsburg very curious about what we are building. People have asked if we’re building a Cracker Barrel, a machine shop, a barn, a consignment store, and (my personal favorite) a daycare. We thought by putting up our sign, we would clarify things. Not so much. Since putting up [...]
We have about thirty soap types that we keep available year round. Because there are lots of other good scents, we rotate them in and out so they are available once a year. We refer to them as limited edition soaps. January’s limited edition soap is hazelnut. February’s limited edition will be chocolate (for Valentine’s [...]
When we began Goat Milk Stuff, we went to a lot of craft fairs and festivals to sell our soap. As a homeschooling mom, I was thrilled because it gave the children a chance to meet and interact with a lot of people. They were able to practice their speaking skills and really learned a [...]
The exterior of our soap room is almost finished! Doesn’t it look beautiful? We heard a funny story from our contractor. Apparently somebody stopped by to look at it and made a comment that it was an “awful fancy” building to put goats in. So we just want to go on record that this [...]
Our builders have been working hard this week, and the new soap barn is looking great! We now have roof trusses up as well as plumbing. The frame is coming together!! August 1, 2012: August 3, 2012: It’s looking good!!
Today we went to see the progress on our new soap room! The kids had so much fun playing on the huge pile of gravel and Jim and I were really happy to see the structure coming together. It’s starting to look like our dream come true! Doesn’t it look great?
We’ve been saying that we are out of space in our soaproom for a year and a half. Yet, we still managed to cram in more stuff. Until today. Yes, the soaproom officially cannot hold anything else. As a result, we’ve had to overflow all the soap that Jim is making (and that still needs [...]
We have so much fun sharing our story and our stuff with people. It’s one of the greatest things in the world to be able to support your family doing something that you truly love. Last week, we were able to go to Indianapolis to be on the Fox 59 morning show with Jenny Anchondo. [...]
You may be aware that I did a video series where everybody (except me) shared which is their favorite goat milk soap. The problem started when I let Jade be the last person to record her video. Because I put the videos up on the Goat Milk Stuff website, I only wanted one video per [...]
We do a lot of videos around here. Sometimes we tell the children what to say, sometimes we just give them a little bit of direction, and sometimes we let them talk and say whatever they want. We filmed several of the “favorite soap” videos in a row. Indigo filmed her video right after [...]
This contest is now closed! It’s time for another fun Goat Milk Stuff contest. This one is very easy to enter! You just need to share with us a person who referred you to Goat Milk Stuff (if you found us on your own, pick somebody special). If you win, we’ll send the BOTH of [...]
I know that everyone has been waiting quite a while for the liquid soap and we appreciate your patience. We finally have some liquid soap ready for you to enjoy! We have quite a bit of it available, but we won’t be making anymore until we are in the new soap room. We are expecting [...]
