Look What the Cat Drug In!

I might as well admit it.  I have lost complete control of my two kids left at home.  It is me, all alone, against them and I am loosing the battle.
In all fairness, the first round of me vs. a teenager left me haggard and worn down.  Joey put me in a crazed state from [...]

Mikey’s 4H Camp Pictures

Ok, here are a few pics of Mikey at 4H Camp this past week.  Katie was there too but unfortunately her counselors and adult advisers haven’t sent pictures.  So, I guess that means Mikey gets all the spotlight this time around.

The Ups and Downs

Recently I brought two goats back home that I had sold last year as babies.  I was devastated to say the least when I opened the trailer doors and goat my first peak at them.

The Queen of Bada Bing Farm

I thought I would introduce you to each of my goats…one at a time.  The first being, Miss Dew Drop Rose who is most definitely our Herd Queen.  Heaven forbid I start with any other goat.  She would be so mad and we all would pay for it.
Dew Drop Rose was our very first Nubian [...]

I missed meeting all of my [...]

NY State Dairy Goat Breeders Association

I have just a minute to post…I am still crazy busy with this farm, soaping, craft fairs, and every day life.
A couple of weeks ago we made a trip to Syracuse NY with the girls for the New York State Dairy Goat Breeders Association ADGA sanctioned combined sr/jr show.  It was something like 400 degrees [...]

No More!

Oh, I am sooo scared.  I recently took the plunge and quit my job to run this farm and my Goat Milk Soap business.  Am I nuts?  Did I make a mistake?  Will I regret it?
I have been a 911 dispatcher for I don’t know, 15 some years.  I first became a dispatcher at Lancaster [...]
