Work Hard. Get Dirty. Use Good Soap.
In the soap room we lay towels down underneath our molds, so that when we pour the raw soap into the molds, any spills land on the towels. It had been quite a while since the towels were washed and they were pretty covered in soap. So when I put them in the laundry, I [...]
OK – normally I brag about my children. But tonight I have to brag about my website – www.goatmilkstuff.com Last month I typed “goat milk soap” into the google search engine. Then I went searching for our website. I finally found us… on page 21. Not good. Tonight I went searching for us again. Started [...]
Are you familiar with Etsy? If not, it is a website where you can buy and sell all things handmade. I’ve been working on my etsy shop and banner for a few months now (in all my spare time). Here is what my banner looks like: What do you think of it? If you get [...]
We had a craft fair the other weekend. Afterward we were invited to a Harvest Party. Jim set the soap up in the back of the Sprinter for anyone who wanted to buy some. He had to get a photo of his handiwork.
Erin over at The Mom Buzz did a review of our goat milk soap. She did a great job and I was so flattered I had to let you all know about it. Be sure to check it out!
We were invited to be a vendor at Autumn on the River, a local festival in Bethlehem, Indiana. It was a beautiful weekend. Sunny and 60′s. The children had a great time. The National Guard was there with a climbing wall. Children 8 and over were allowed to climb it for free. Colter and Emery [...]

My children are clamoring for another free soap contest. So here are the new rules. Since the holidays are approaching, we’re going to give away two free bars of soap to three winners! There is just one condition, you have to give one of the bars of soap to a friend or family member (the [...]
The Vest Family! Our free goat milk soap contest ended today. We printed out everyone’s name (and extras for those of you who found mistakes) and placed them in a bowl. Indigo did a great job picking out the winner. The only problem – each one of the children wanted to pick out a winner. [...]
Ever since we started selling soap, I have occasionally received phone calls that go like this: Caller: “I’d like to buy some soap, can I come over?” Me: “Absolutely, we’ll be home all day.” Caller: “Ok, I’ll see you soon.” Click. Me: “FRONT AND CENTER CHILDREN NOOOOOOOWWWWWW!” (Children come running from all directions) Me: “Ok, [...]
When we cut our soap into bars, there are small pieces left over that we cut into samples. We place the individual bars of soap on the curing racks, and the samples on a separate rack. Indigo has decided that it is her job to carry all the samples to their shelf. She calls herself [...]
I’ve been very fortunate in my life to have had very few addictions. I don’t like coffee, I’ve never smoked, and I’m not a drinker. My biggest life-long addiction has always been books. I just can’t seem to start a book and not finish it in one sitting. This usually causes me to stay up [...]

One of the uses for our “extra” goat milk is goat milk soap. As a family we’ve enjoyed various scents: vanilla, lavender, oatmeal milk & honey, and pink sugar (Brett‘s favorite). I’ve been selling my soap, so we’ve been trying new scents as I replenish my inventory. Here are some photos of the soap curing. [...]
