I work for a non profit organization that helps shelter abused women and I also volunteer for the HIV society in my city. I have also applied to be a volunteer with Sea Shepherd Conservation Society to help stop the destruction of the oceans resources and endangered animals.

{Blogiversary Giveaway #2} Sheep Soap

Happy Tuesday!
Let's get right to it!

So...remember the time I had the grand plan to milk the goats and make goat cheese? Yeah, well after I failed miserably I lost all motivation or desire to try it again. I have however, since tried Goat's Milk Soap (I admit, I bought some at a farmer's market) and was totally impressed. Knowing that it is super rich in vitamins and minerals was comforting too. I could tell my skin felt moisturized which says a lot because I have seriously dry skin. 

The second item to give away this week is from Cedar Tree Farms.
This adorable curly sheep soap comes with a 100% hand knit bath cloth.

Char is the owner behind Cedar Tree Farms and I love her story. She's a fellow county-girl!
I can call myself that now, right?

"I was fortunate enough to be able to purchase the farm that I grew up on from my parents 17 years ago.  I was born on this farm and lived here until I graduated high school. Growing up we basically lived off this land with a large garden for vegetables, fruit trees and bushes, and a father who loved to hunt and fish.

Since retiring my husband and I have both started online businesses. I make all natural goat milk soap and hand knit clothing; my husband makes beautiful wooden items mostly from wood we have reclaimed from our farm, or from wood that washes up on the local beaches. We raise a few cattle and have a garden and fruit trees. My husband is also an avid hunter and fisherman.

We truly feel blessed to have this beautiful piece of property and were recently given permission to name the creek that flows through the pasture after my father who passed away 8 years ago."

{Thanks Char!}

Happy One Year Blogiversary to Me! {and a giveaway!}

I can't believe one week from today is my one year blogiversary!

..I'm still here..
Back when I wrote my first entry I wasn't sure how this was going to go. I definitely knew there was a chance I would hate it here at the ranch and I'd just delete this blog, but I didn't hate it, I didn't delete and I'm still here.

This blog isn't just a blog, for me it's kind of like my therapy. It's my happy place. You see, not everything is peachy perfect on the ranch. We (like many other families) have our financial worries, we have the stress of caring for a furry family that is quite dependent on us and we have the pressure of succeeding. We have the stress of the unknown aka Mother Nature and I have really bad days when I miss my family.

For these reasons and because I do enjoy it, I blog.

Coming here, to my little itty bitty corner of the blogosphere,  I feel at home and always excited to share with you what is going on in our lives. Because of this I am always challenging myself and taking in each moment I have here on the ranch. I owe that to you.
Thank you!  

This next year I have set a few goals for my blog that will force me to step out of my comfort zone and put even more of myself out there in the world. eeek! There will be more agvocation, creativity and a little more honesty.

Sooo, we are celebrating a few things this month.

1. My 100+ followers (yes, I am still celebrating.)
2. My August 8th blogiversary 
3. My one year anniversary (August 28th) of being a sheep rancher’s wife and…
4. The recent completion of my father-in-law’s treatment!

In honor of all these things and THANKS to a few awesome ETSY shops I have a week of giveaways for you, my friends!
How awesome is that?!
Here is a list of the ETSY Shops participating. Go and check out the goods!
Lather and Lace
