  • Goat Milk Stuff Red T-Shirts

    Goat Milk Stuff Red T-Shirts

    I have to admit that red t-shirts were not my idea.  But I love it!  It’s brilliant and has made doing the laundry so much easier! Didn’t Brett do a great job? And, yep!  She really is a super big sister!  

  • All About Brett

    All About Brett

    Brett is one of the most amazing young ladies I have ever met. Yes, I’m her mom. And yes, I’m biased. But it is still true.  Just watch this short video if you don’t believe me! I have loved watching her mature and grow, and develop her own opinions and thoughts. Listening to her in…

  • Goat Management

    Goat Management

    It’s that time of year already! After months of caring for the pregnant goats, Kidding Season will be here before we know it. And once again, we’ll be buried in baby goats, paperwork, and lots of milk. I’m in charge of the goat paperwork. It’s one of the jobs I do at Goat Milk Stuff,…

  • Blooper Reel

    Blooper Reel

    All of the videos we have been recording lately have provided lots of material for bloopers.  I didn’t even realize they had some of this stuff on tape, but it’s pretty funny.  Which is your favorite blooper?    

  • Picking out a Christmas Tree

    Picking out a Christmas Tree

    This is the first year in our new house and the children had their heart set on a HUGE tree.  So we went to a local tree farm where we first found a huge pile of geodes. We took a hay wagon ride to the field. And started looking at trees. Indigo kept picking out…

  • Visit Goat Milk Stuff

    Visit Goat Milk Stuff

    Now that construction is complete, we have been able to offer Farm Tours.  Our main tour guide is  Fletcher.  He is responsible for our tours unless we have very large groups and need everyone to pitch in.  The tour starts in the retail room.  And continues throughout the rest of the soaproom. Then you head…

  • Hiking at Charlestown State Park

    Hiking at Charlestown State Park

    Hiking has always been one of our favorite family activities.  Our local park was Charlestown State Park, but since we’ve moved, it’s over half an hour away.  We decided to go back one last time for a farewell hike and barbecue. Indigo had to stop and look at the moss: After the hike, the children played…

  • Goat Milk Stuff = Fast Shipping

    Goat Milk Stuff = Fast Shipping

    At Goat Milk Stuff, we believe that fast shipping is important.  I know that when I order something on the internet, I want it now! LOL So we work very hard to make sure that if you place your order before our mailman arrives, we ship it out before the mailman leaves. Brett (our shipping manager) explains our…

  • Family Photo Shoot

    Family Photo Shoot

    I’ve wanted to get an updated family photo for many months.  But as you can imagine, getting everyone ready is quite an endeavor.  We were supposed to do the photo last week, but with the accident, nobody was in the mood.   All the girls need hair cuts, so I was going to do that…

  • The Beast Video

    The Beast Video

    Brett introduces our new vehicle – “The Beast” in our latest Goat Milk Stuff video.   Although she wasn’t crazy about having her photo on the side of it, Brett has really come to appreciate the presence of the Beast in our lives.  Now she just has to get her license so she can actually…

  • Rainbow

    Rainbow

    Many of you know that we have been through a difficult time dealing with the trauma from being on the scene of a fatal accident.  I may write more about it later, but right now I just wanted to share with you these photos. There is something about a rainbow that just reminds me of…

  • 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…

  • Happy Birthday, Brett

    Happy Birthday, Brett

    I’m a bit late posting Brett’s birthday photos. She turned 16 in December. I still can’t believe my baby is 16. It really is true what they tell you about parenting – don’t blink or your baby will be all grown up and turning 16. But no matter how old she gets she’ll always love…

  • Train Your Children Then Trust Them

    Train Your Children Then Trust Them

    Busy Mom’s Survival Guide Podcast Episode 026. A few weeks ago we drove Brett and Colter to North Carolina so they could go on a two week Outward Bound excursion in the mountains of North Carolina.  It was the first time either of them were away from home.  While it was not easy to let…

  • A Big Change

    A Big Change

    Brett has been having some exciting things happening lately!  First she got her driver’s permit.  I still haven’t had a chance to blog about it yet, but she’s doing really well with that (especially considering she’s driving the Hulk).  And yesterday was even more exciting!  She woke up with something she’s had for the past…
