Hello!

Been awhile since I've been here. I am going to attempt to be much more disciplined about my blogging. We shall see how it goes. Much change has been happening for us including the move to our new farm in Madisonville TN.  It is a 16 acre dairy farm from 1929. There are some amazing sights on this property including the original milk rooms. We were hoping to open for tours and visits this fall, but unfortunately the cleanup was a bit more than we had originally anticipated and will push our opening into Spring 2015.I am super excited about having visitors!!  Here are  a few  glances of the new farm...

Time to create!

    "Time to....."    That was my ongoing prayer pretty much continually. If only I had the time too....Well now I do! So today I needed to do washing, but I was really low on detergent. I'm standing in the kitchen with Joshua to my right diligently working on his Science and I say, "I think I'm gonna try to make my own detergent out of those extra bars of soap I have".   He says, "Can we (I LOVE that, we) do that Mom"?  I say, "Why not, your doin' Science right"?
    So began our journey today into making laundry detergent from our Farm's Goat Milk Soaps. We gathered all the necessary ingredients and tools and put on our thinking caps. About an hour later, we had a mason jar full of Udder Joy Farms Laundry Detergent. Now...we need someone's clothes to test it on...Oh I know...Daddy!  Sorry bud, you had the least amount of votes! ;)  We are in the testing phase now...we will keep you updated! Oh! I just heard the washer shut-off!  :)
