I don’t know how long this will last, so I had to document it: Can you see what that is? That’s Goat Milk Stuff in FIRST place when you do a google search on “goat milk soap“. Isn’t that exciting? OK, you may not think that’s exciting, but I’ve put in hundreds of hours on…

We had a craft show a couple of weekends ago. It was a pretty day and we had a family date after the show, so we brought everyone. After a while, Indigo got bored of coloring and asked if she could give out free soap samples. Emery set her up: She was really sweet and talked…

People always think that because we have a soap business, we must smell good all the time. The truth is – sometimes we do, sometimes we don’t. There is a lot of hard work involved with running a family of ten and a business. And when that business involves goats, well there’s quite a bit…

Guess what? Our goat milk soap has been awarded the GRAND Seal of Approval! What is the GRAND Seal of Approval, you ask? (See, I can read your thoughts). I’ll tell you. The great folks over at GRAND magazine, the magazine for Grandparents, really like our soap and are recommending it to their readers. But…

We’ve been needing to make new soap shelves to take to the various festivals and shows we do. It’s been on our (rather lengthy) to do list for quite a while. So we had them done in plenty of time, right? Of course right. Well, actually I mean no. Not unless you consider starting them…

Did you notice the new blog domain? Instead of http://manychildrenmanyhugs.blogspot.com, now my blog is at www.goatmilksoapers.com. Isn’t that easier?

The blog will also be getting a new look, but that won’t happen for at…

A couple of days before we left for Florida, we traveled to Indianapolis to sell soap at the Indy Garage Sale. One of the other vendors gave Indigo this “princess crown”. It was also the first time Indigo went to work handing out our free soap samples. Isn’t she cute? We always meet some great…

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 on…

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 were…

Do you like the new look to my blog? The photo in the header is of Jim and some of the children. We were out hiking and exploring some land one day. I had fallen behind with some of the slower children (who shall remain nameless). I was able to take this photo. It is…
