Did I already share that we’re expecting a new little honey bee to join our crew? Well, we are thrilled and finally over the first trimester woes of nausea, exhaustion, queasy goodness that always accompanies my baby’s earliest weeks of development. I’m thankful for each season and this last one has been a doozy. We…
We sent out a ‘farewell soapscription’ letter on Saturday. It was written for our faithful friends and loved ones that have kindly supported us and cheered us on for the last 2.5 years. We’ve decided to adjust our soap model a little bit and that means creating soaps by special request or individually rather than…
