I’ll admit it. I’m a Grinch.
Before you judge, hear me out. You see, what I hate about the holiday season is the exorbitant gift buying. The expectations to get everybody you’ve ever met a gift. And above all, the song “Santa Baby” that seems to be playing on a loop in EVERY. SINGLE. STORE.
On the positive side, I LOVE singing traditional carols, eating festive foods, and enjoying my beloved Arizona with her chilly desert mornings. I also love scarves (that’s holiday-ish, right?), and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE making homemade gifts for people.
Ever since I started using essential oils four years ago to improve our health, I’ve wanted to share them with others. That’s exactly what I do each holiday season. From body butters to sleepytime oil blends, from freshener sprays to beard oils, even digestive salvation salves—you can bet I’m gonna make it for you!

Okay here’s the deal I have two pygmy/ nigerian goats and I want to milk really bad I missed this breeding season and I want to buy a nigerian dwarf doe in milk this spring do you think that’s a good idea also I might buy a nubian baby this spring also do they really get through fencing and make a ton of noise?? Thank you !
Sure Libby, I think it’s a great idea to buy a doe in milk. You do need to be aware that there is a reason they are getting rid of a doe in milk, and if at all possible, if you could find one where they have to get rid of the whole herd, at least you’ll know it’s not because of the doe herself:)
Homemade gifts are so much fun to make. Thanks for the great links!
🙂
Can you put some links to recipes for homemade gifts you make? Thank you
