Happy 19th Birthday, Brett!
I know she doesn’t look like she’s 19, but I keep telling Brett that she’ll appreciate looking younger than her age when she’s 30! Happy Birthday, Squirt! We’re super proud of you! Mom

Do You Take Advantage of Opportunities?
I love the fact that because of Goat Milk Stuff, we’ve been able to take the family on many adventures to many cities. We’ve been on television in St. Louis, Detroit, Chicago, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Green Bay, and New York City. Our latest trip brought us to Kansas City. We really enjoy the chance to be […]
Newsies
Everyone in our family absolutely LOVES musicals. While we were visiting New York City, we had the opportunity to see three broadway musicals, including Newsies. My siblings and I absolutely love the Newsies movie*, so we couldn’t pass up the chance to see the play. It was absolutely amazing, and we couldn’t stop talking about it. […]
Happy 18th Birthday, Brett!
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 […]
Ask A Jonas – Brett’s Thoughts about Driving
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! Brett, how do […]

Goat Collars
We mentioned the new goat collars in the post about our goat photoshoot, but we didn’t explain why the collars all look different, and why that’s important. When we were talking about getting collars for our goats, we realized that we could use them as a tool. We figured out a system, and now, just […]
Ask A Jonas – Is Brett Going To College?

Colorful Bedrooms
When they painted our bedrooms, we were that much closer to living in our bedrooms. We still needed carpet, lights, switches, trim, doors, and a whole lot more, but the rooms were very colorful. Which made all of us beyond excited!
Footprints
Since we did our handprints in the concrete at the soaproom, Mom wanted us to put our footprints on the barn’s porch. (Mom also suggested we do butt prints on the porch of the house, but Dad said no. LOL) First, Ramblyn put the “broom finish” on the concrete – basically, going over the concrete […]
Happy Birthday, Jim!
Jim and I met at The University of Virginia, so Thomas Jefferson is very important to us. Here is an interesting fact – Thomas Jefferson was born on Jim’s birthday (April 13) and died on Jade’s birthday (July 4). I always post the children’s birthday photos, and they insisted that I post Daddy’s birthday photos as […]
7 Reasons You Should Read “Lemonade Stand Economics”
Yes, you really should read Lemonade Stand Economics by Geof White. I did, but that’s not such a great reason, so I won’t count that one. My daughter, Brett, read it as well. Of course, she (@BookSquirt on twitter) reads everything under the sun, so that’s not very compelling either. I wrote a bunch of twitter […]
Disney Wild Africa Trek
While we were in Disney World, we decided it was time to do something we’d never done before. The Wild Africa Trek! Indigo and Jade were too young, so while we were doing it, they went off and toured Animal Kingdom with some of Grandma’s friends. I can honestly say that this is one of […]
Happy 17th Birthday, Brett!
Brett turned 17 two months ago. I’d like to say that we celebrated it right on time. But… ummm… well… We didn’t. We just celebrated her birthday this week. Don’t get me wrong. We sang Happy Birthday to her on her actual birthday. But then we piled into the Beast and headed to […]
