Have you ever been accused of being a Mean Mom? I would certainly hope so! I know that every time I have been told I’m a Mean Mom, I respond with, “Good. I’m supposed to be.” Afterall, It has never been my goal to please my children. Instead, my goal has always been to raise […]
I was walking on the treadmill desk in our basement, getting some work done and getting steps at the same time, when my phone rang. “Brett, there’s legs on one of the goats!” my little sister Jade shouted before hanging up on me. I barely remembered to hit stop on the treadmill before I jumped […]
The kitchen was full of activity when I came downstairs for dinner – kids running around with plates, forks, and drinks, Emery pulling the enchiladas out of the oven, and running underneath it all, a sense of urgency. I grabbed my plate and served myself, wondering why everyone was so excited. Dad’s phone rang and […]
Thor and Baxter, our livestock guardian dogs, spend their time with the goats, but they love spending time with the humans too! But out of all of us, their favorites are Mom and Fletcher. They could spend all day playing with Fletcher and letting Mom pet them. When Mom walks from the soaproom the dogs […]
We get asked lots of questions when we’re doing farm tours, selling soap at craft fairs, or simply running errands. Since most of those answers are heard only by the person who asked, we decided to share some of the common questions here on the blog. And of course you can ask a question of your own! Jade, how many times […]
A month or two ago, Mom decided that we’d never been to Clifty Falls State Park, and we had a free day, and by golly, we were going to finally go to Clifty Falls. Going to this park has been on Mom’s “We Should Do” list for quite some time, but we’d never gotten around […]

I can’t believe my daughter is now considered an adult. She’s always acted like a “little adult”. But now her age (and not just her attitude) declares her an adult. Despite this momentous occasion, we still celebrated her birthday the same way. She still had a birthday cake… She still hugged all of her siblings […]

A couple of weeks ago, our Grey-Bear turned 12! The other kids didn’t think that he could blow out all twelve candles with one blow, but he did! After eating breakfast birthday cake, one of our birthday traditions, we moved on to another tradition – the birthday hugs! Greyden wanted to pick everyone up to […]

This year, when we went to get our family Christmas Tree, Mom had the brilliant idea of getting a tree for the front porch of the soaproom. The only problem was that we didn’t have any ornaments for it. So the kids made some! They took some of our packing paper from the shipping area. […]
