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 [...]

Feeding Baby Goats
March 4, 2013 By Leave a Comment
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 [...]
Taking the Goats for a Walk
March 1, 2013 By 2 Comments
When we first got goats, we lived on three acres. There were a total of 3 pine trees on that entire property for the goats to eat because the property was an old hay field. The goats had plenty of space, but the property was not ideal for them because goats are browsers, not grazers. [...]
Working (Out) in the Soap Room
January 22, 2013 By 3 Comments
I’m pretty vocal about how important I think exercise is. We do a lot to stay fit so we can stay healthy so we can feel good so we can work hard so we can enjoy life. See how simple it is? Simple, yes. Easy, not always. Because things get really busy around here, I’ve [...]
Goat Milk Egg Nog
January 20, 2013 By Leave a Comment
The reason that I first got dairy goats was so that we could have a source of healthy, raw milk. Later on I would use this milk to create our goat milk soap and launch Goat Milk Stuff. But in the beginning, the goat milk was simply a food source. We drank it, we made [...]
Playing at the New House
January 17, 2013 By 17 Comments
Construction has been underway at the new house for several months. We asked our builder to “switch gears” and get the barn done because we wanted to move the goats before they got too far into their pregnancies. Because of that, the crew is just now getting the roof on the house. The other [...]
Have You Ever Tried Goat Milk Soap?
October 11, 2012 By 11 Comments
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 [...]
Jade’s Favorite Soap
July 5, 2012 By 2 Comments
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 [...]
Do You Limit Yourself?
July 2, 2012 By 92 Comments
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 [...]
Indigo’s Favorite Soap
June 21, 2012 By 5 Comments
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 [...]
Stress Reliever
February 8, 2012 By 3 Comments
Right now the Jonas Family is even busier than usual. We’re entering kidding season (which means less sleep for everyone), we’re building at the new property (which means more traveling to check on progress), and we’re losing our employee (which means more work for all). This can cause everyone to be more stressed and less [...]
