K- Yes! I love yurts and log cabins. I’d love to build a house too. *sigh* I hope we can do this one day!

Bucksome- I win! I don’t sell my soaps now but I’ve thought about starting an Etsy business and selling them. I’m intimidated by all the people out there that sell soap. I need to just do it!

You made me smile. That letter sounds about word for word what I’d write down to the business and kids :-) The only thing I’d add would be building our own house. I love checking out the link for the home kits in magazines: yurts, deltec homes, log cabins… it’s fun to dream! And it gives me something to look forward to and work hard for!

So you win on the chicken issue! That cracked me up.

It sounds like a pretty good life. Do you sell your soaps now?

akborn- Aww thanks! You are so sweet. I needed that today!

I will have to get goats instead. Then I can have lots of kids!

Money Funk- Thanks! I make my soap with lye and oils. It is really fun. I tried taking pictures of the process once, but that didn’t go so well..

Awesome letter- I agree with one of the comments, go with goats:-) They make a better product(personal opinion), and in the bit of research I have done, much easier keepers, and I had actully read a funny article some one wrote(thought I would share it with you)

I have to say you seem like a very neat person, and I am glad I stumbled upon your blog(searching for recipes to make laundry soap,:-)

Loved the letter. Very genuine. I’ll be sure to visit your place out there off the grid to buy your natural soap products and produce. There are many people traveling off the grid, but still produce online content. So, I know there is a way to keep in touch with your readers.

Have you tried making soap with lye? I have a great book but have never tried it yet. Looks so much fun!

Jeff- Well we’ll be off grid with solar power to power my computer! Oh crap, didn’t think about internet.

Your letter was fabulous. I really enjoyed it. And I’ll be sure to order pizza if we do move there! LOL
