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!  :)

Our new page

I have to say that over the past few months, God has taken me on quite the journey within my own life. I have gone from being in a place where I was almost too comfortable to a place where everything is new. Through this transition, he is teaching me so many new things about who He is and who I am in Him. With that being said, I LOVE to write and share! So...I have decided to add a new page to our blog....it is called, "A Farm Girl's Heart".  I called it this because that is exactly what will be published here...the ramblings, joys and most likely sometimes, struggles of my heart. Anyone who truly knows me knows I live "out loud"!  I don't know what will be posted here, but I do know that it will be my personal journey as God continues to transform my life! :)  Hope you enjoy and may God bless you over and over! :)

New Beginnings

     Finally...Udder Joy Farms has arrived in Tennessee! We pulled in on January 13, 2012. The trip had many ups and downs including a 5 day stay in New Mexico due to vehicle issues. I won't go into a ton of details as living through it once was enough for me. Bottom line...we all made it here safely and happily! :)  Due to our stop over in NM, we had some unscheduled breeding go on while we were unloaded at The Stromberg's...so come June we will be very busy here.
     Since arriving, we have been extremely busy building pens, barns and coops. We finally got everyone settled and have almost all of the house unpacked. It's amazing how much work, both physically and mentally is involved with moving...especially West Coast to East Coast (practically).
Much much much to do...but were getting it all done.
     Our product line is back up and running and we are busy now preparing for upcoming Spring shows including The Chattanooga Market. We are excited to jump back in! New this spring will be our New Lavender Lotion, our New Egg Shell Soap for men and our Lavender Laundry Soap! Exciting and busy times here. Please bear with us as we work on getting all of our social media outlets updated and current. I am still workin' and learnin'  especially with the site (udderjoyfarms.com).  :)  Thank you for your patience...you can always check our facebook for the latest.

Let's talk again real soon!
