We had a lot of eager soap makers at our Soap Making Class today. We had students as young as 12 and even two grandmas in attendance! That just goes to show you that you’re never too old to learn a new skill!
Today’s class was taught by Robin and myself, but Olivia was the real brains behind the day! THANKS LIV! She helped us figure how much of each oil to use. It is a real science to make soap!
The soap consisted of olive oil, Castor oil, palm oil, coconut oil, lye, oatmeal, lavender and the choice of fragrance by each family.
Because of the weather we moved the class to the fire station. Jeff gave the kids a tour of the station and explained some of the equipment.
…my hero!

Titus 2:3 says that we are to be
"...teachers of good things...".
We believe that part of these good things are practical skills that we all need in every day life to care for our family and neighbors.
One of our primary responsibilities as parents is equip our children with the skills and tools to one day be productive, well rounded adults. Children need to be exposed to many different areas of work. Not only should they know how to work, but they should want to work.
May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us;
establish the work of our hands for us-
yes, establish the work of our hands.
Psalm 90:17

I am hoping to try to make some myself soon. I am growing lavender in my garden and I am hoping to try to add it in.
