Lotion in Motion

This week we found a recipe for homemade lotion. Cold, wet days are perfect for indoor projects so we gave this a try.
We already had all the fixings for the recipe. It calls for coconut oil, coco butter, bee's wax. We tossed in some essential oil for flavor and it turned out really well.

Finished product

Double boiler to melt it all down

Lotion molds

Pouring into the molds

Other things that go well with cold, damp days is comfort food. We smoked a whole roaster this week.

This is NOT crazy granny mac-n-cheese

More cloud bread

After the meal, we boiled down the bones with spices to include fresh cut rosemary for a few more jars of chicken stock.

Rosemary, bay leaves, carrots, celery....

Three more jars into the rotation

Kattie Grace caught the bug for baking this week. She found a recipe she wanted to bake. Jake pestered her the entire time she was making the dish, then grabbed it up to mug for the camera. It turned out really well.

Lawman is still doing his dance with the fox and coyote. This week we added a few more tools in the fight. Lawman boiled and stained them before going to the field. We will report on results.

We ended the week with wings.
