a grateful mother

this is my youngest son jory, one of our master soapmakers, showing off a partial day's work. not bad huh? this is about 150 lbs. of soap. an average day for soap making. these loaves will be cut into small one ounce sampler sized soaps. that's a lot of cuts! i could never do this without jory. so here's to you kid! you are absolutely the bomb!!!

now this is our other son cael. he helps out sometimes on the weekends and we're always glad to have an extra set of hands. big hands too. he cuts labels, washes soap rocks, makes soap sample boxes . . . or whatever we need. it's great to have your kids nearby and to be on good terms. i realize that not every mom has that good fortune. i've gotta be one of the luckiest mom's in the world.

happy mother's day to all.
