  • Indigo’s Retail Room

    Indigo’s Retail Room

    All of the Jonas children have their own responsibilities at Goat Milk Stuff.  In this video, Indigo shares her role with the business.  She is such a hard worker and does an amazing job helping our customers, stocking the shelves, and making bracelets.  We’re so proud of her and what she adds to the Goat Milk Stuff…

  • 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…

  • New Toys

    New Toys

    We were blessed to be invaded by family this Thanksgiving! Since there were quite a few extra children, Jim decided that all of the cousins were going to need some indoor activities to keep them occupied when they weren’t outside. He planned ahead and surprised everybody with a pool table and Foosball table!  Fortunately Poppy…

  • 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…

  • PJ’s Podcast Video

    PJ’s Podcast Video

    I have a “To-Do” List a mile long.  Every time I cross something off, I add another 3 things. LOL  So why did I start The Busy Mom’s Survival Guide Podcast?  Check out the video and you can find out! I used to do the intro (e.g. “You’re listening to Episode 47 of the Busy…

  • 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…

  • Knitting Time Saver

    Knitting Time Saver

    All of the children know how to knit (including the boys). They mostly knit washcloths that they sell with our soap. It’s great because they can take their knitting with them in the car or to a meeting we need to attend.  It gives them something to do with their hands.  Knitting also teaches eye-hand…

  • 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…

  • Benefits of Sunflower Seeds

    Benefits of Sunflower Seeds

    We’re a little sad around here because frost is coming, and it doesn’t look like our sunflower seeds are going to completely ripen in time. We planted the sunflower seeds late in the season because it took longer than anticipated to complete the construction of the garden beds. So we knew it was a long…

  • Visiting the Nursing Home

    Visiting the Nursing Home

    Remember when we brought baby goats to our local nursing home in the spring?  The same facility contacted me to see if I could come speak to them.  Unfortunately, I had a conflict, but Jim and some of the children were able to go. The children were going to do some of the talking, but…

  • We Have Baby Rabbits!

    We Have Baby Rabbits!

    Well… we thought we had found homes for our male rabbits in time.  But apparently we didn’t because Sandy just had 3 babies on Saturday!  There are two black and white spotted babies and one black baby.   They are just two days old in these photos. They’re fat and happy and Sandy is being…

  • Homeschool Creativity – Bandana Dresses

    Homeschool Creativity – Bandana Dresses

    One of my main goals when it comes to our homeschool is to give the children lots of opportunities to be creative.  I believe that strengthening their creativity skills will pay dividends when they are older because creative people are better problem solvers in my opinion.  And to me, that’s a large part of life…

  • Working Hard and Having Fun

    Working Hard and Having Fun

    The Jonases are all about working hard. If you look at all that we do, that’s fairly obvious. But we also like to play hard when the work is done.  But working hard and playing hard don’t have to be mutually exclusive. The best way is when you can work hard and have fun while…

  • Meet Indigo

    Meet Indigo

    Indigo is the princess of our family.  She was the first girl after 5 boys and she is definitely all girl! Get to know Indigo better and what she does at Goat Milk Stuff by watching her video.        

  • Homeschool Creativity – Packing Princess

    Homeschool Creativity – Packing Princess

    We regularly receive supplies deliveries that contain a lot of packing materials such as bubble wrap, peanuts, foam, and paper.  Most of those packing supplies we reuse to ship out our soap orders. But for some reason, one day Emery decided to use some of the foam paper we received to make Indigo a complete…
