Our friend Miss Robin sent us three bars of her homemade soap yesterday — Gardenia, Clean and Goat Milk. Thank you, Robin! They all smell so lovely. The Clean Soap does smell… very clean! Robin and I are exchanging a couple bars of our soaps. I haven't sent my American Castile Soap off to her yet, though.
When her soaps arrived, the kids checked them out thoroughly. Those soaps got felt and sniffed quite heartily. Later, the kids used them as merchandise while they were playing "store". I told Mikah that he would be able to use the Goat Milk Soap while bathing because that one didn't have any fragrance added. He gets awfully excited about special treatment like that.
A funny thing happened when he was about to start his shower (he is now showering on his own). He ran out from the bathroom, totally bare, and looked around the living room, dining room and kitchen.
I said, "Mikah, go get in the shower."
He answered, "But mom, I need to find something… Where's the goat cheese? I need it in the shower."
He was looking for the Goat Milk Soap that Miss Robin made!

Oh! How cute! I LOVE stories like that!
I am glad the soap made it.
I wanted to surprise you. Please don’t feel obligated to send any more than one bar. I wanted you to have a variety. I felt badly when I read your “Natural Foods” article and read that you eliminated all fragrances from your home, though. We are doing the same. I think the few soaps we have left that I made last Summer and a container of Febreeze are the last things we have that have any fragrance. We use all-natural cleaning supplies. Vinegar for windows, Citra-solv for counters, etc. Oh, we do have some cleaning wipes left to use up as well. Almost forgot those. When I make soap again late this Spring or Summer, I am going to make 100% Goatmilk and some with some herbs as well. (Lavender, calendula, etc.) The good stuff! So, feel free to toss the gardenia and the Clean For Men soaps. I won’t feel badly if you do.
Tell Mikah to let Miss Robin know what he thought of his goat [i]cheese[/i] soap!
P.S. Guess what Miss Wardeh dish we made tonight for dinner?! Details on my blog as soon as I type it up.
Huggs, Robin
Robin, I’m not going to be tossing your soaps! No way! I’ll just save them for company because our company is special like your soaps. Mikah loves his “goat cheese” soap, by the way
