I truly enjoyed this chatty video about the kids, animals, a/c, cows, drought and seeing the beautiful soaps, body products being so thoughtfully wrapped. Hope your Easter is peaceful !
Thank you! After I filmed him yesterday afternoon, he went down hill again. We think we can back him off the steroids and he'll perk up. Here's hoping!
It was great to sit and watch your pack and chat today. I am in SW Missouri and it has been getting so beautifully green and all the flowers are starting to peek their heads out. TFS
I grew up in a Portland Oregon and we had lilac bushes all along one side of the house. Spring was wonderful and I still love lilacs and it reminds me of childhood!😘
We had a huge lilac bush (I called it a tree when I was a kid cuz of how tall it was) at my childhood home in MD. We also had honeysuckles everywhere! I am obsessed with those scents. I love honesuckle, lilac and violet. Idk what it is, but those particular three scents just take me back to being little 💜
Thanks for your videos! I found you this month and subscribed. Hope your dog is able to heal soon and completely. I've binged on your videos. They're informative, relaxing, and enjoyable.
I loved seeing your animals so much! I told my husband after watching this... I want a cow. Seriously. Lol. But we only have a yard big enough for a fire pit and a hanging plant... so that may not work out. I’ll move. It’s fine. Glad to hear Riggs is getting better... when you showed him I was so so happy to see him, sweet buddy. Great pack and chats as always! Looking forward to the next video!
Such a beautiful property I love your cows so cute. Poor Riggs I feel so bad for him I’m so glad he has you all for his owners give him a smoochy from all of us and hope he improves more.Thanks for all the pack n chats videos I just loved them. Thanks Holly. 💕💕💐💐🍖The bone is for Riggs. 😊
Thank you! I hope he can get past this. He got much worse yesterday (the day after the video) but we were able to pull him back on the steroids and he bounced out of it.
Thanks so much for packing mine on video. Such a nice once in a lifetime thing! Your puppy dog will be in our prayers we love our fur babies here!! Thank you Holly for all you do!! Love your products!
I'm just outraged for riggs, I feel just awful for him that he had to go there all of that, but I'm happy he is doing better and he continues down the path of health. I'm just loving the multiple pack and chats. Thank you for putting yourself threw it!!!!🤩
I'm new to the channel!! I found your channel when I googled hand made cold process sapo for sale.... Your website came up, and so did the RU-vid channel.... So Cool!!! Your dogs are amazing. They are beautiful!!! Prayers for Riggs!!!
I'm glad to hear that Riggs is getting better. The tree you mentioned first is a redbud. That's my favorite spring plant because of it's purple flowers and they are usually in bloom by the time my birthday rolls around in early April.
Love the cows! My daughter raised a steer for 4-H last year named Norman. We loved him and his big kisses. His 1400 lb self got a little unruly for her to walk on a halter at the end. He had to have a full belly or there was no cooperation. You guys are so fortunate with your hay situation and having a portion of the year where you don't have to buy hay. I'm in Southern California in the high desert and we have to buy hay year round. Current price on a 100 lb bale of #1 alfalfa is about $18. Those big rounds don't exist here. Hope your sweet boy bounces back soon.
That's so cute! We do live in a lush area and grass typically grows so well from April to September. We don't buy alfalfa but usually get regular field grass bales. Back in the time of the City Slickers movie, my grandpa had a bottle calf that would follow my cousin and I around...and we called him Norman too.
Bean reminds me of my brother's boy, Spud. You literally have to talk to him as you approach the fence or he will bolt and some times it's towards the fence. Poor Riggs, sending healing and calming vibes. your family's way.
Thank you! Spud sounds cute! Yes, Beans can get spooked easily. The first night we had him here last summer, he jumped the fence. We have to be careful with him.
Praying for Riggs! He is a beautiful boy! I’ve heard of dogs getting paralysis from Lyme (tick bites) Poor baby. We love our babies too! Thanks so much for filling us in❤️ Vicki
I have too but that is normally due to it not being taken care of early on....ticks are the nastiest kind of parasite out there and can be deadly for animals and humans! Yard over growth, rotted wood and cardboard laying around and pet dander build up make a perfect breeding ground for ticks!
Poor Riggs!! My goodness! I sure hope you are finally getting answers and he will be feeling better soon! Sure love seeing around the farm, feels a lot like my grandparents farm where my sister now lives... nothing quite like being raised on a farm and learning the value of hard work!
Holly u gotta check out a bale barn! It's a plastic hut for the hay. We have them for the horses. U put the bale on a pallet and then the bale barn on top. It cuts back on alot of waste! So what happens to the cows? Do u sell them?
Wow that is really cool! There aren't any dealers close by here though. Darn it! But maybe there is another version of it that we can look for. We do raise the beef for meat. That is a rather controversial situation nowadays it seems but it is obvious that the meat we eat is coming from somewhere. We are able to give them happy lives and we know for our own purposes that they have eaten well and have been treated well and properly.
You're living mine & hubby's dream life, lol. Nice chunk of land, cows, a home based business to keep me busy. Ahh, maybe someday... if my Drs can find a combo of biologics & immunosuppressives that'll actually work for my autoimmune diseases🤞🏻 I'm not embarrassed to admit I teared up when you were talking about Riggs' health probs, my gosh I really hope he gets over the hump on all this. It's so painful and frustrating to watch our fur kids go thru stuff and not be able to fix it for them. Sending prayers and hugs to y'all 💜
Thank you Teri! We feel blessed. This property wasn't our first choice as it's really close to the road but the pickings were slim 5 years ago. We are grateful though. I hope they can figure that out for you too. You'd think with how advanced we are medically that these things wouldn't be so difficult.
@@moriversoap ya, you'd think, huh? Ha Advancements have sort of taken a backseat in the last 20 yrs after the introduction of biologics for autoimmune treatment, but more def needs to be done, bcuz they're not the end all be all, as in my case. I'm also on a low dose chemo drug which is pretty barbaric, so the sooner they come up with new treatments the better 🤞🏻
I feel through experience and trying out using the elements that creator made can be helpful to use on myself and our animals there are crystals that are great for calming them during full moon times..well i noticed a difference and hey its a drug free treatment for them! Even music helps them stay calm playing flutes n guitars! Crazy sounding i know this but it works for us! This was Fun!🌈
Holly you crack me up🤣 You are so cute, rush to get the quota done before the mower starts in and the first one you forget the tape gun and get the giggles😜🌸💙🌸💙 I could listen to your Pack and Chats all dang day😁🍀
1.- I am always happy to hear Riggs is doing better. 2.- That watermelon scent is amazing!!! I got the salt scrub and it totally smells like that watermelon gum.
Bless his heart. I don't know why pure bread is so sick seems all the time. Maybe that's a question you can ask your vet. I love seeing your beautiful farm and animals.
Hope the doggo gets better 😔♥️ your pups are absolutely beautiful...and the cows 🥰 this is the first video I’ve caught of you taking us through the yard and I’m loving it!! I’ve definitely been in my own soaping world lately so I fell off of watching every single video, but I’m all in now ♥️ and oh my goodness, I thought I had a lot of hay at my house for the guinea pigs 😂 our 25lbs are nothing compared to what you guys must need! 😬
Thank you Christine! I am happy you enjoyed the video. I think I went outside in some of the vlogs last December also. There are some links in the soapmaking videos. 😀
I’m new to this channel so I went to website to check out products and literally everything is sold out 😢. Do you notify once everything is restocked. Everything looks so good, I can’t wait to try!
Thank you Roxanne! I operate just a little bit differently. I have so many products that my customers enjoy that I just sort of rotate between products. I tend to have themed releases now. The next release will be a Mini Rainbow Extravaganza. The soaps from the last release that are sold out won't be restocked for a while as I have several themes planned out already. I do try to remake the more popular products more often.
@@moriversoap thank you for replying. I love watching your channel. Everything looks so gorgeous 😍. It’s very inspiring, I never made soap before, I think it’s the fear of working with lye. But I’m so inspired by you and a few others on RU-vid that I’m finally ready to give it a go. I bought some melt and pour to get me started. My favorite fragrance right now is lavender and eucalyptus. I can’t wait for the next theme soap collection! I’m watching your latest video now!
I was wondering, today, when part 2 of your pack and chat video would be posted. I clicked on your channel and, low and behold, parts 2-4 were there. IDK why RU-vid isn't notifying me of your video posts. Come on, RU-vid! Anyway, I hope the Rigg's situation gets resolved soon. He doesn't look happy, but then neither would we, if we were going through the same thing. Poor little guy. We finally got a glimpse of who I like to call, Mr River...lol. 😄 I look at Caleb like I do Dolly Parton's husband. They're men who stay out of the limelight and let their ladies shine. 🌟 You hear about them, but you rarely see them, but when you do see them, you're like... "Hey! That's the guy who's married to (insert famous woman's name here)!" 😄 Thanks for all of the extra time and effort that you put in to the pack and chats. I know it takes extra prep time and disrupts your regular packing routine, but I think I can speak for everyone when I say that we find it enjoyable to have a virtual hang out with you in your soaping studio while you're packing up the orders. We watch you make the soap, cut the soap, and put them on curing trays. It's nice to see them packaged up as you prepare to send them off to their new homes. Looking forward to the next batch (no pun intended) of soapmaking videos, and the following pack and chats.
That is very frustrating of RU-vid indeed! That might explain the lower numbers. LOL Actually...Mr. MO River did not make an appearance. That was my son you saw feeding the cows. Haha! But he is a stocky dude and looks older than his age for sure. I almost snuck in Mr. MO River but the clip just didn't make the cut. 😉
@@moriversoap Well, I'm red in the face...lol. Thought it was Mr. MO River...lol. Oops! And yes, RU-vid must be messing with algorithms, because I haven't been getting your notifications for a while now. I've even unsubbed and resubbed and clicked on ALL notifications, and I'm still not getting them. I guess I'll just have to keep checking in with your channel every week or two to see if there's anything new going on. Whenever I see one of your IG posts showing something new, I head over to YT to see if there's a video posted.
Speaking it into existence... please bring back the desert flower scent in anything and everything please I would just buy the fragrance oil from you 🤣
@@moriversoap I’ve looked through some suppliers (WSP, brambleberry, Some candle companies) but none that I’ve seen have the right notes. They seem to have more green/clean notes than the pefumey vibe I get from desert flower. If you’re able to point me in a better direction I would greatly appreciate it! (And still buy anything and everything you make in the scent :] )
You have such a lovely place and can see how much you love your animals, prayers for Riggs! Proverbs 12:10a “The righteous care for the needs of their animals”. Thanks again for another pack and chat, really enjoy them, always look forward to the next.
Hey Holly!! Love your channel💕and really enjoy your pack and chats! Poor Riggs!!! I wanted to ask, does your vet think Riggs may have an autoimmune disease? I will be praying things get better for him!!
@@moriversoap I'm sure the vet has already thought of this, but Doberman Pinscher's (that's what Riggs is right?) Can be prone to Autoimmune Thyroiditis which can cause hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism could explain some of Riggs issues possibly? I hope the vet can figure it out!!💕😞
A pack and chat AND a walk around the property... Best video ever! ;) Your property is beautiful. Oh what I'd do for all that lovely green grass lol. Here in my part of New Mexico, that's a rarity indeed. Jeanne @ HarvestHerbals
18:33 you’re telling the story of your dog, and I am an oncology nurse, so I don’t know who that vet who prescribed prednisone for the second time knowing that he was allergic and keep it on that treatment when we treat humans that are similar to pets in steroids related, we gave dexametasone, it’s the similar treatment but for those who don’t tolerate prednisone. And decametasone is also a good anti-inflamatory that don’t do lot of damage to the leaver, and opens the apetite and the thirsty, wich is what we want. Put the organs working so he gets straight to do is normal activities. Do bandaids on the open wounds, so it always be dry, to scar rapidly. With dexametasone we usually need to add analgesics to relief the pain, often here in Portugal we treat with buprenorphyne or OxyContin or fentanil in micrograms, so it don’t cause addiction. And he will live long lasting.
Hi love watching ur packing videos please please tell me where u buy those specific bags u put the wax melts in. Every time I water from certain places it’s not the same as what I see in your video I like the sound of the actual material of the bag not the plastic one the one with red wax melt in it
Thank you Salli! Let's see...Shelby is our oldest dog and she's 8 I think. Riggs will be 4 in April. Maverick was a year in December. T-Bone is 2. Brisket and Beans are about a year old. We have two cats too! HAHA! Kit Kat is 9 or 10 (no one really knows) and Lily is 6 or 7. I can't seem to keep track of the older ones. LOL
@@moriversoap wish we had lots of land! House prices are really high in the UK especially where I live. I would love more animals, did have 4 dogs; Sophie, Cara, Emma and Charlie, all passed now and a cat called Mouse, who was unfortunately killed. :( They were all:rescue dogs. They sound like a lot of work! XxX
hey Holly that was a nice video and what a nice place to live in out in the countryside and i love you call you cows by name of cut of meat T bone the cow that is a good name for a cow holly and did i see your son putting the feed out for the cows 🐄🐄🐄 love from Clare
Thank you! We do enjoy it here. We have a neighbor that tries to harass us every now and again 🙄 but otherwise it's quite delightful out in the country. If you give the cows names that are cuts of meat, supposedly one is supposed to remember that they are being raised for food...but that does not work for me. LOL T-Bones brother was Ribeye. That was my son feeding. 😀
I try to restock every 4-6 weeks. Since I'm the only one creating, it does take a while for me to get all the products created for a release. As I'm not able to stock all products at once, I do tend to have themed releases and remake popular products when I am able. This year has been a particularly hard year for us as our dog had several health issues that caused us to dedicate more time to him and keep him under supervision. We finally had a great release and right when that was done, we had to say goodbye to our dog. So for right now, we've had a little bit of time to rest and mend our hearts. This coming week I plan to rev up production again.
@@moriversoap I understand. I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you for responding to my message. I will check back on your page often to see when things become available. I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos and look forward to trying some of your products one day.
