		<title>Sometimes stuff happens!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had my day planned Friday.    The plan was to make several batches of handmade soap and then take a break and go to town.  It didn&#8217;t happen that way.   The first batch went smoothly.    Made the first batch which was  goat milk soap with honey and oats.     Something must be in the air as [...]]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s that White Stuff?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes, but not always, once you pour your handmade soap batter into your molds and the soap starts to solidify, a white powdery substance will form on the top of the soap.  In the morning, when the handmade soap is removed from the mold, you will notice that you either have a light scattering of [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Little Helper</title>

		<description><![CDATA[I don’t know why but I’ve been intimidated with the thought of making a larger bath of handmade soap.  Say 35lbs or so at a time.   I know.  It’s not rocket science but it’s taken me a couple of years to get around to doing it.  I make a lot of soap at a time [...]]]></description>
