The Handmade Soap Blog

Dropping off the Face of the World

Since my last post I took the children to Florida to visit their grandparents down in Cape Coral. It was a nice relaxing time and a great treat the kids enjoyed (myself included).

We came back to start doing all the lovely back to school shopping. My oldest is starting 2nd grade on Tuesday the 2nd, and my son starts preschool the 15th.

So, it isn't that I dropped off the face of the world, just dropping face down into bed at night. :) But I did get to make coconut with lime soap right before heading to Florida, and I did get a new Lemon Verbena done the other day, so more soap and soap talk is coming!

Now off to line my soap molds......uggggggg...the one thing I wish someone would do for me.

Soft Musk Handmade Soap

Newest soap off the curing rack is my Light Musk Handmade Soap.  Great for both men and woman, very light straight musk. No added colors for a very neutral look.

It is nice and smooth. I like it's simple scent.

I survived seeing the Jonas Brothers

I did survive seeing the Jonas Brothers, and I didn't awake with my ears ringing. The girls had a blast, and I was amazed they still had voices by the end of the night. Overall the Jonas Brothers, Jo-bros, or whatever you may prefer to call them, put on a great show. Shhhh, don't tell anyone.

Just to show a little of the "loudness"I took a video of my daughter jumping around. It is pretty much to  dark most of the time, but she is cute and it is amazing if you crank up your volume to see how loud it actually was! The girl behind her and next to her were with us. So, without further adu...My first youtube:

Don't worry, I will eventually start talking soap again.

Jonas Brothers Live in Concert

I bet you never expected to see the title "Jonas Brothers Live in Concert"  on a soap making blog, huh?

Well that is were I will be tomorrow night instead of making any soap. My lovely daughter turned seven today and we graced her with tickets to see the Jonas Brothers. They are playing tomorrow Thursday August 7th at the Tweeter Center or Comcast Center whatever it is called. (frequent name changes just drives me crazy)

I think my ears have finally stopped ringing after the extrememly loud screetch she did when she opened those tickets. The joy on her face was priceless. I look forward to watching her excitement tomorrow.

Taking a break from Soap Making and The Web

I am actually going away without any computer access!  I keep wondering if I will have withdrawals, as it has been a little while.

Where are you going, you ask? Camping! Yup, one of the few places I go where I wouldn't think of bringing my new laptop. A weekend of bike riding, swimming, and smores with the kids. Nothing is better than some quality time with the children.

Normally we pitch the tent and the whole 9 yards, but this time we actually rented a little cabin. The only thing is it doesn't have it's own bathroom so it isn't totally cheating. It will be fun. It is actually a pretty local KOA. I enjoy the place. It is nice to unwind and not think of a gazillion activities to do.

I made a promise to myself to keep up with my blogging, so I had to take a minute before I went away. Now I am off to enjoy the peace and quiet.
