15 Ways to Use Goat Milk

There is a saying in the goat community – “Goats are like potato chips. You can’t have just one.” It is so true! We have definitely found that our herd has grown to more animals than we really need because it is so hard to decide to sell any. Mostly because of the children. Each…

Life is Messy

Life is messy. Not just a little messy. Life is a lot messy. But I have found that it’s not the messes in my life that ruin my day. It is how I respond to the messes in my life that matters. This mess happened when one of the children dropped a bowl of barbecue sauce. I…

Hewitt’s Shoes

I have five brothers who are still growing. Constantly. We’re always buying them new clothes, because as farm kids, they wear them out before they can pass them down to the next brother.
