Goat Milk Soap!

My current journey in homesteading and farming as a single woman now include a small business making goat milk soap from the milk from my goats. It started because I had way too many milk goats and too much milk and not having a licensed dairy I was unable to sell the milk. So my creative thinking had to work overload and I decided to give the soap making a try. Since I wanted to be as natural and from the farm as  possible, my focus became using the goats milk and as many herbs and natural colors as possible. 

Currently I have a list of over 20 types of goat milk soap that I regularly keep in stock, plus some that I try once or twice or seasonal scents. The goat milk makes such a wonderful bar of soap with so many qualities that benefit the skin.

My soaps are now located in about 5 different local shops, plus local farmers markets and craft fairs, plus my new website: www.goatmilksoapsandstuff.com

 This is one of my personal favorites. It is Citrus Sage and has ground sage grown in our organic garden. It smells very fresh and light.

This is one of my best selling soaps, scented with Lavender. Who doesn't love lavender? Ok, well since I'm in the business of selling scented things I have discovered that actually quite a few people don't care for lavender. It's still one of my favorite scents as well as to consume. Yummy cup of hot lavender tea... Anyway, back in focus. This soap is very gentle and soothing.
Both of these plus more can be purchased on my website: www.goatmilksoapsandstuff.com

Stories from the Amazon - Sunken Canoe Adventure

I grew up in a family who lived and breathed adventure. I mean, who packs up their life and travels to a foreign country without knowing the language and goes to live with a Brazilian family who also doesn't speak English? And then go to the middle of the deep Amazon jungle and try to make contact with hostile native Indians?  You have to have ADVENTURE as your middle name to do that, maybe even as your first name! Growing up like that me and my brothers were always into crazy things and doing things that most people never would attempt. More of those stories later though. This story is about one of our crazy, fun adventures we did for fun, not for life. My dad decided that it would be a good bonding thing to do a family fun adventure every year. Each year the adventure varied and was different but the goal was to create a memory and bond as a family. I'd say it definitely worked. This particular year we decided that we'd like to kayak down this river called Rio das Garca

Stories from the Amazon - Horse trading

As a white girl in another country you get to experience lots of different sides of humanity. One of these was a pretty obvious nickname I happened to acquire in my dealings with the horse people of my town. By the time this story happened, I was already a young adult and getting my name out there as the knowledgeable horse person in town. Our town was very large with around 400 thousand people in it by this time. When I was a child it was a very small town of only around 40 thousand, so I've been told. They discovered gold in the river  beside the town and overnight it became a gold rush city, full of crime, greed, lust and all the sins of the flesh. We were quite protected in our mission base and worked mostly deep in the jungles with the native Indians. By the time teenage years arrived for me, my parents missionary work had led them to become more involved with the Brazilians themselves and we moved to town and got a ranch. But that's another story for another day. Ho

Stories from the Amazon - Crazy Bull part 1

I married a Brazilian rodeo cowboy. He was a bull rider.  Well, he tried to be at least. He wasn't very good at staying on the bulls for the whole 8 seconds. He was also a wheeler dealer and like to do trading and all sorts of deals. We won't go into some of the really frustrating deals he did, but one of them involved acquiring a herd of bucking bulls. He figured that if he couldn't be a champion bull rider like he dreamed, then he could be a stock contractor and put on rodeos. I liked that idea much better. However, he ended up going to ranches and bringing guys to try out the young bulls and see if they'd like to buck. They always made a day of it which included barbeque and plenty of beer. I guess they figured that if they drank enough it would make getting bucked off an unknown crazy bull a bit better. I definitely didn't approve of that part of it, but to be a supportive wife, I usually tagged along and gave my opinions on the bulls. The bulls that didn't
