  • Stand Firm Despite Unhappy Goats (or Children)

    Stand Firm Despite Unhappy Goats (or Children)

    We normally milk our goats twice a day, but around breeding season, we often drop them down to once a day milking.  We usually don’t need the extra milk and since the holiday season is the busiest time of the year for Goat Milk Stuff, it makes my boys (who do the milking) very happy. But it…

    Kids Cooking- Pumpkin Risotto with Sausage

    I used to make risotto a lot, but it is so time consuming, that I haven’t made it in a couple of years.  But I’ve been craving it, so I decided to figure out a better way.  Here is what I did.  You’ll want to cut this in half or quarters if you’re not feeding…

  • Kids Cooking – Homemade Marshmallows

    Kids Cooking – Homemade Marshmallows

    Every holiday season (and sometimes during the year) our family makes homemade marshmallows.  They are ridiculously good and nothing like store bought marshmallows.  You will need an electric mixer for the recipe.  A candy thermometer is not necessary, but is very helpful. This time, Brett made them (she has been trained on how to cook…

    Busy Mom’s Survival Guide Podcast Episode 042.

    Alone Time

    Ever have those moments where you think you’re talking to someone, only to turn around and discover that you are the only person in the room? I’ve had a few of those lately. It’s making me wonder whether I’m losing my sanity, or just losing my hearing.   But it got me thinking…   It’s…

    Do Your Children Use Their Brains to Think?

    Now that the construction is finished at our new farm, Jim and I have a lot of our time freed up.  We’ve been talking about where to spend some of that time when it comes to Goat Milk Stuff and in what direction we want to take the business. More wholesale? More internet? More agri-tourism? Since we’re focusing…

  • Persimmon Bars Recipe

    We love food made with persimmons. If you’ve never tasted a persimmon, it has a unique flavor but it goes well with recipes calling for pumpkin puree. We’ve started harvesting our 2013 persimmons, so it was time to finish the 2012 persimmon pulp we had frozen and hoarded. We had quite a bit of it,…

    Persimmons

    We are fortunate to live in an area with lots of persimmon trees.  In the past, we’ve never owned any, so we’ve always had to go on walks and harvest ones from other people’s trees with their permission.  Harvesting persimmons is super easy because all you do is pick them up off the ground after…

    The Beast

    Many of you know that we drive a large Sprinter we affectionately call “The Hulk”.  While the Hulk has served us well for the past 5 years, the mileage on it is getting higher.  Since Brett is a new driver, we decided it was time to invest in a younger vehicle.   We love the…

    Do the Jonas Children Have Time to Play?

    Because I regularly show photos of my children working at Goat Milk Stuff, I’m often asked if they ever have time to play. Of course they do!  Even with their school work, barn work, and soap work, they still have more free time than most of their peers. Some of the children’s favorite things to do…

    An Anniversary to Remember

    Today is the 23rd anniversary of my first date with Jim. We try to go out to dinner every year to celebrate this momentous occasion. LOL Jim and I met during my first weekend (he was a year ahead of me) at the University of Virginia.  We met the end of August at a fraternity…

    How To Be a Story Maker

    I have a lot of goals when it comes to my children and their homeschool education.   One of my goals is that they learn how to be great communicators.  In most conventional public school educations, communication is focused on the ability to write “papers”.  Whether these papers are book reports or term papers, the…
