Work Hard. Get Dirty. Use Good Soap.
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 [...]
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 [...]
Our children desperately desire our attention. We can choose to give it to them proactively on our terms. Or we can wait until they misbehave and give them attention then in the form of discipline. Children are smart. They realize that if they can’t get attention from Mom and Dad by being good, they [...]
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. [...]
When I started Goat Milk Stuff, somebody recommended that I read the book, The Success Principles – How to Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be by Jack Canfield. I bought it, but never made the time to read it. Since today is my anniversary and I decided to be “lazy”, [...]
As a very busy Mom, I know that I can’t do everything I want to do. So I choose to limit myself. I find that it is more important for me to do less and have time to relax and spend time with my family, than it is for me to take advantage of every [...]

Today is Father’s Day and we’re not doing a whole lot to celebrate it. Part of the reason is because we don’t make a big fuss about celebrations. Part of the reason is because we’re super busy. And part of the reason is because Jim is fairly understated and doesn’t require or demand extra attention. [...]
As part of my never-ending education, I am currently reading the book, “Generation Text: Raising Well-Adjusted Kids in an Age of Instant Everything” by Dr. Michael Osit. I’m only on chapter three, but I’ve found it well written thus far. It’s on my iPad, so I’ve been reading it on the treadmill. One of the [...]
I love and value learning. Not just for the children, but for myself as well. A “rusty” brain would prevent me from conversing intelligently with my husband and others about a variety of topics. So I make sure that I am always learning something about being a better person, mother, wife, and business owner. [...]
My goal as a mother is to raise my children to be wonderful adults that are hard-working, kind, and loving. I expect them to admit their mistakes and try to correct them.
