Rub A Dub Dub...

Good morning!  I hope your day has been wonderful so far.  

I need your help!  About a year ago I became interested in making natural soaps.  I have very sensitive skin along with a few of my children, and store bought soaps can make us break out into hives in an instant.  The natural soaps are gentle on our skin, feel amazing, moisturize, and are a much healthier choice since we know what we are actually putting into our body.  I think many times we tend to only think of the harmful things that we ingest.  But as all of you know, our skin is the largest living organ and everything that we touch seeps through our pores.  

I have given my soap as gifts before and have received many requests for more.  Everyone has loved it!  After thinking about it for a bit I thought I would try my hand at creating a business for this product.  The process takes about 8 weeks.  So I wouldn't have any ready until then - but I would love your feedback on the idea.  A sample bar would cost $1.00 and a regular bar would cost $3.00.  A price that is comparable with others out there.  The bars are large and last for awhile; longer than those that are store bought.  The question is, would any of you be interested in purchasing natural soap?  If so, what scents/colors would you like to use?  I can make soap that has a soothing lather, exfoliate with organic oatmeal leaving your skin radiant and smooth or remove unwanted odors (from cooking with onions, fish etc.) from your hands.  Whatever is in demand is what I am willing to make.

Please drop me a comment or email - and let me know your thoughts.  If I have a good turn out I will make available what you have ask for.  Thanks so much for all your help.

Until then...  
Jessie

    Hi Jessie.........this sounds all wonderful and interesting. I used to buy some goats milk Raspberry Orange soup. do you know anything about that? Also I don't know if you have ever bartered.......but I have done a little with some other girls. If not that is fine I just thought I would ask. If not I would love to know what you are doing with your soaps.

Judgment Loomed

As I exited the door my heart was pierced with their animosity.  Hatred and poison spewed from their lips.  Murderer!  Whore!  Baby killer!  You'll rot in Hell for what you did!  Over and over...  The savage mob encircled me with no escape.  Screaming just a breath away from my face.  Shoving with such force I was almost knocked to the ground.  They spat in my hair.  Humiliated.  Tears streamed down my cheeks as I pushed through the violence.  Once inside my car I began to weep.   Even in the present their vile words reel through my mind.  Beads of sweat began to form in my tightly clinched fists.  Squirming in my chair... biting my lower lip as an attempt to hold it together.  Peering above the Pastor's head as though I was looking at him... knowing if I did I would burst into tears.  That was my experience at church this past Sunday.  To my relief the Pastor spoke words of love, life and truth NOT condemnation.  Healing and refreshing.  It was the uninvited memories that ha

A New Chapter

It seems like yesterday... I can still remember the moment his bare skin pressed against my chest.  With limbs too exhausted to move - still they found their way to envelope this tiny gift.  "Hi baby, I'm your mom."  With the sound of my voice his face turned to meet mine.  Deep, genuine eyes peered into my soul.  Doctors rushed about as I lay on the table, life draining from my veins, but the atmosphere did not speak of the danger lurking.  For just a moment... as that little guy locked me into his gaze.. all was perfect...Heaven met us both... and in our own world two hearts melted into one.   The room was quiet.  Doctors, family and friends had finally left us alone.  This was the moment I had been waiting for.  Yet I was terrified - terrified that I would fail him.  In silence I sat, fixated on the clear plastic basket that held my heart.  My breath heaved heavy as I picked him up.  Snuggling him between my legs I began to unwind the unending twirl of fleece that

O Christmas Tree...O Christmas Tree Part II

Welcome back!   I hope y'all are having a blast preparing for Christmas.  It can be hard work to get everything done.  Exhausting in fact.  I'm sure you've earned some relaxation time.  So, grab something warm to drink, prop up your feet for a moment and enjoy some time for yourself.  I hope you'll be inspired by what I've done and be challenged to unleash your imagination too. Jessie's Christmas Tour Part II Guests are greeted by an antique sled adorned with boughs and an adorable coat that my sons wore as toddlers. In years past, I've decorated in an elegant fashion.  I love the grandeur and opulence.  However, this year I decided to go with a more down home natural look and I absolutely love it! A simple way to display Christmas cards.   My mother gave me this nativity a few years ago.  It was handed down from my great aunt.   I miss her SO much.  Pulling this out each year makes me feel as though she is still with me.  It also reminds
