Homesteading with children

• Tuesday, April 29, 2008 - making soap and yogurt with goats milk!!

I finely got to make my laundry soap! Now I can't wait to try it! I had made a liquid one the first time and wasn't real impressed, because it didn't seem to set right. So yesterday I made dry laundry soap, the best part is I'll only need to use 1/8 cup per load!!

Dumping in the ingreidents!

 

Stirring the BIG pot!

Also made stain remover and softner!

This is our first batch of goats milk soap ! Honey flavor! Yummy!!!!!

Today I made my first batch of yogurt, I hope it turns out, I had forgot to add the yogurt to start it, so I had to add it an hour after letting it sit, we'll see......... we met a local woman that raises goats and chickens on Sunday! She gave me a few eggs from her flock to try hatching, some banties and some of those striped black and whites eggs. Also she said we could "borrow" her boar goat when ours goes into heat! She was a very kind sweet lady, I can't wait to go back!

Our kitten has been wanting to nurse from our goat, so I let her yesterday and today. It makes her tummy full and she is happy!

 

Our purple hull peas are coming up! It's so nice to see them coming on we can't wait until picking time, they are really easy to pick!

Have a wonderful day, Kim
