Workshop and Life Update | MO River Soap 

Holly thank you for updating us. We have missed you.

The work shed is wonderful. Yes, it’s important to have a window, when you have to do dishes! 👍🏻 Best wishes for a speedy recovery from you soon to be knee surgery. Great property with beautiful views! Glad you are making videos again!😊 Oh those pesky squirrels! How exciting a new house in the property!

Great to see you. Thanks for the update. Your property is gorgeous. Can't wait for the next update.

Thank you Ms. Holly for letting us know what's happening. Me and my family will be keeping you in our prayers. God bless you and we are praying that you heal fast before you get back to soaping. Love your land , it looks so peaceful!!!!!!!

Hey Holly... thank you for bringing us along on your life journey... we miss you terribly .... we love you and your videos so much!!!!!! Much much love n hugs to you... you are such a strong person and always an inspiration to us!❤

Oh Holly! How I've missed your cheery voice and wonderful soap making videos! Wishing you a very successful surgery and an uneventful recovery.

Hi Holly! So nice to see you and your amazing plot. I am in awe of your trees! And can't wait to see your log cabin, it's a perfect space. Looking forward to future soap videos, too.Good luck with everything. I hope your knee heals up fast xx

What a perfect spot for a log cabin. I hope you have smooth sailing from now on and you are up to your elbows in soap before you know it!

Fun video, lovely tonsee your home area, your workshop, and you! 😊

Holly, I've been checking into to see how you're doing and I'm So happy to watch the update. You've been such an inspiration to me and have helped me through some tough times and I'm going keep you in my prayers. I hope you have brighter days ahead . Praying for you and your family 🙏❤️🙏

It is so good to see you Holly! I’m so sorry to hear about your knee but I’ll be praying for your complete healing and restoration in Jesus name 🥰🙏🏼 Your workshop is coming along nicely I know you will be glad when everything is complete. Your log cabin will be beautiful I know I just love log cabin homes! It’s such a blessing you have your neighbor who can be a help with your new home. I sincerely know and feel your pain when it comes to those mischevious squirrels!!! I have the same problem they make me so mad 😝 I find that they do not like chicken wire so I have enclosed my plantings with chicken wire to keep those little devils out 😆 You may have to try that or better yet you can attach some chicken wire to the front of your door until you get to do it like you want to. It will be easy stapled to the door and you can remove the staples later if you choose to. I love your view with the mountain top and with a full window view it will be lovely and so peaceful. Blessings to you and your family. I will be waiting to view you soaping 🧼 again once you get everything together. Take your time to heal and may God richly bless you. 🥰😍🥰 Thanks for the update 🩷🩷🩷

I really missed hearing your voice I've been busy myself I've been wanting to reach out to you but now I understand I'm glad I didn't but wow look at the life you're about to lead total Montana envy! Once you get settled I would highly recommend a small shed that you could have basically a crew of cats that can take out the squirrels I understand they have the right to live too but sometimes mother nature has to step in. Once the squirrels see that the cats are around they won't be so prolific I know this because I live right next to a park myself and I have a cat rescue and at the moment I feed 20 they're not a feral colony but they are cats that used to be in a cat room that they knocked out the window. But they stay around because obviously they get fed and they do take care of the squirrel population. What an exciting journey you are on, I'm so very happy for you. Thank you for sharing! I'm about to buy a 45-foot fifth-wheel I wish I could just move to the mountains! Enjoy the journey!

I'm going to assume that everyone you know will be getting some kind of knitted item for Christmas? I'm a crochet girl myself. Never could figure out how to knit. Good luck with the knee surgery! It sound like it'll be an easier surgery and that's always good (unlike a knee replacement). While I'm anxiously awaiting your return to soap making, your health and sanity find first! I am a little jelly of the log cabin. Always wanted one!❤

I whole heartedly understand what you are going through with the building issues! We just finally got moved into our house that took 11 months to build thanks to many many issues! Good Luck with the rest of your building and I look forward to seeing your soap videos in your new shop!

Thanks for the update!!! Your garden looks great!! The heat killed everything in my yard this year, so I’d love a tunnel! Looks like a great view from your window and I love your shop!

That looks amazing. Slow and steady wins the race.

So awesome being able to build your own home! Your soap house looks like it will be awesome ! 🤩

So very happy to see you ,you have been missed .I have been re watching your video's. Look forward to seeing more of your videos,this is lovely to see what you are doing.hope your operation goes well for you.Take care of yourself 😊xx

So happy to see this update and look forward to more once you are healed. Best wishes on your upcoming procedure!

Holly I’m so happy to see you back in your beloved Montana! Everything will come together for you in a little more time. Be patient honey❤❤❤

So good to see you Holly! Your little workshop is really coming along. Your husband does nice work. Yeah, life happens to us all. I am sorry some of it has been so hard. Good luck with your knee surgery. Looking forward to your next video update :)

So happy your doing well! I missed your soap making video and I love your products. God Bless you & your family!

Omgee the upsidedown Skelly is hysterical. It really is amazing what life throws at us from time to time. The most important part is working through the rough patches, and finding your joy again. Btw, I cuss like a sailor. Good to see you Holly

You are such an inspiration! And your progress looks great. But mostly I'm just happy to see you are doing well. Sending you much love and well wishes.

I saw your video pop up and clicked right away! glad to see a new video!

Every time I looked at your site I was sad. I have missed the figgy cream! We are looking forward to you coming back. I’m sorry for your loss, I pray you heal (physically & emotionally) and you find your groove again. Thank you for the tour. Look forward to seeing you soon.

I'm so sorry you've had some difficult times. Remember to take time to just breath! ❤️ Your property looks amazing! We bought property in Arizona and are doing the same thing. Living in our RV and trying to build (125°) isn't friendly 😂 I have 3 of the "sheds" and I'll say, make sure you insulate the roof really well too!!! And when you fell you've insulted go back and add more 🤣😂 I guess I'm just having personal issues with this heat hahahaha. Happy to see you're making progress! Don't give up!!! 😘

Hi Holly! You have been on my heart and I was so happy to see this pop up in my feed reader (yes, I'm a bit behind there!) and so glad to see you are making progress on everything! So very sorry to hear about your heartbreak. I will be sending special prayers for you for comfort and healing. xoxox

I missed you so much. Great that we can now see your face when you make soaps. I love your new workshop, I can tell it will be awesome. ❤❤❤

How exciting. You can build it all the way that you want. Oh and don't worry. Everyone is having problems with their tomatoes this year 😂❤

Holly your place is going to be beautiful, your cabin with that view. Sorry for your family situation, and thank God your knee is good. We missed you, and don’t worry in no time you’ll be up and making soaps.

I've missed your soap-making videos for so long now. I'm originally from Brazil but have been in the US for many years, your videos are watched around the World! Can't wait to see more from the shop. Sending lots of love.

It gets extremely cold in Montana. Love the beautiful trees and land.

Welcome back, i cant wait to see what neew soaps you will be showing us, and the shed looks amazing

Hey Holly! Fellow soapmaker and business owner❤. My heart goes out to you for hardships this year and I will keep you and your family in my prayers. My soapmaking operation is temporarily suspended because I lost my space to make due to a housefire and a bunch of other really un fun circumstances. Once my husband and I get a new house the plans are for us to split a 10x24 shed for our activites! (My soap making and other crafting and his everything else 😂). I was super excited to see that you are building a new area to get some ideas! Is there any advice you have for building a space like this as far as workflow goes and such? Ill take anything for advice. Im so excited to watch your progress on everything and am so excited for you!! ❤

I was so happy to hear from you! Hoping everything goes good for your surgery! So happy for the update also can’t wait until your able to start making soaps again!

So good to see you. You’ve had a lot going on. I hope your knee heals fast. Thank you for the update.

Nice to see you again! Your property is beautiful. Thank you for the update.

So glad to hear and see you again. As others have said we miss you. Good luck in your surgery, take good care of yourself. So sorry you had a difficult time this summer but you are strong and made it through!! 😢 Take Care and God Bless❤

So glad to see and hear your update! Sorry about your knee issue but hope it’s a quick recovery. Can’t wait for more videos-looks like it will be a gorgeous place to make soap! Take care we of yourself and just know there are a lot of us out here rooting for you! ❤❤❤

Looks Beautiful, congratulations on this journey . 😊

Such a great update! Thanks for sharing even when it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. Life is real and I appreciate that you keep it real too.

This is going to be amazing❣️ I’m a new soaper and have been watching your videos like crazy! Thank you!

So excited to hear from you. I love your calming voice. I am so sorry to hear that you went through some sad times; praying things will get better for you. You are also adjusting to a completely new environment than here in the Midwest. Enjoy the journey Until then, we will need to be satisfied with watching videos again :) Best of luck

Great to see you and your progress. I know its alot of work and time to get things done. Thanks for the update. You and your family take care. Again great to see you

Congratulations on your sheshed/Soap Room 🎉 Praying for you and your family. Get well very soon.

I'm so happy for the up date, your health is so important take care of it!! We're all here for you!

Thank you for the update, Holly. I am glad things are better. I pray your surgery goes well and you are back up and going soon. The workshop looks amazing!

Hey Holly, lovely to see you! I love the work shop and the house sounds like it's going to be beautiful. Take care of yourself and hope to see you soon

So good to see you are doing fairly well. I've missed seeing your smiling face and lovely soaps! I can say as a new soaper, I have binged all of your videos and am in love with how wonderful your work and personality are!

Oh Holly I'm so thrilled with your gorgeous blue workshop! 💙 Wow! A little at a time you'll get there. Life does slow us down at time and can throw us off balance but when the time is right, it all comes together and it will have been worth the wait! Your house plans sounds wonderful. A friend of mine has a log cabin home that has what you describe and it looks so nice. Since your doing it yourself it will be a while but yet another thing to look forward too and you can truly call it your own. Wishing well for your surgery. Rest up and eat well. You'll be soaping in no time. Gosh, I can't wait for your next update.

Congratulations on your big move. Can't wait to see you up & running again. Prayers for a quick recovery on your knee surgery Holly. Stay safe and enjoy your new chapter in life❤

I was just thinking about you this morning and here you are so happy to see that things are working out. Wishing you a quick recovery on your knee. I had to close my shop cause I’m just getting to old to run a business and trying to keep up with all the business stuff, but I still make soaps for friends and family now, but I have so much stuff to get rid of. Good luck to you and keep the videos coming. You have such a beautiful place.

Hi Holly!! It was so good to see you! Hope your surgery brings you relief! 🌸💖🌸

You are soooooo missed. Thank you for the update. I've watched it several times!

Thanks for the update Holly, it's always lovey to see a new video from you :) I hope it al goes well for your knee surgery. I will say a prayer for you. I look forward as I know you do to your soap studio being ready ~ Blessings to you and your family - Linda

Hi Holly! Nice to hear from you again. Look at your shop 😍 you go girl

Thank you for the update. So exciting! And exhausting I'm sure! Everything looks great! You are living my dream of buying property and building a log cabin home! One of these days ❤ 😊 Hope you have a speedy recovery from surgery!

Great to see things coming together! Speedy recovery with your surgery, I can't wait for you to start making soap again!

Thanks for touching base, it’s nice to see you again ! You have a beautiful property, and although there’s almost always hiccups with building projects, it will all work out in time. Look forward to your next update. God bless 😊

I hope all goes well with your knee surgery and that you recover quickly

Ps, tell your husband he's doing a magnificent job on the workshop! He's amazing to tackle all of this and work full time. He's a keeper!

Hello Holly! It's a Great looking shed/shop you have coming together. Hope the knee heals quick. I am in the same boat as you. 43 this year and soap making near Topeka, KS. I bought an 1898 bank in a little downtown that I'm remodeling to be our soap shop and I have not made products since June. Wish you the best!

Great to hear how life is going in Montana Holly. Good luck with the knee surgery. You have a beautiful plot and before you know it a log cabin. Take care keep smiling. ❤❤

Living your dream!!!! So happy for you!

It’s sooo good to see you back!!!! Congrats on everything!!!

Nice to see you Holly. I’m in it for the ride we’re ever you go I’ll be there with you.

It's so wonderful to see and hear from you. I was just on your channel last night looking for you and know you have been so busy. Missing you lots and lots. Love, prayers and hugs.

I’m sorry to hear about your loss Holly 😢 The shed actually looks super cute! Love the colors you chose for the outside

I do hope you’re doing well after your surgery💜Your property is so beautiful! I’m def a PacNW girl, and Montana always reminds me of home (WA). I visit occasionally, my brother lives about 3 hours from Kalispell in Great Falls, but I haven’t been there since about a year before the pandemic, so wow nearly 5 yrs have gone by! Sure doesn’t feel like it, lol. No one was really going anywhere ‘20-‘21, then I lost my hubby in ‘22 and I really haven’t had the gumption since then to go on roadtrip alone. I’ll work up to it one day tho, bcuz I’ve always loved it. Hope you and your fam are all doing well 💜

Hey! Holly.....Thank you for the update. All will get sorted. I have every faith in you all. I do so adore your vlogs. I hope the tomatoes were sweet. 😊❤

Miss you girl!!! So nice to see you again!

Keep going, y’all. You’ll get there I promise. Slow and steady. I’m sorry for your troubles but am proud of y’all for picking up and trying again. Life is a series of stuff that happens. I love your enthusiasm and put some plastic on the garden door to help keep the squirrels out. Lil buggerz! Lol. Anywho, so glad to hear from ya and I’m looking forward to the next chapter of your journey! Hugz, Tree (still stuck in Missouri but may soon be in “KANSAS”!!)

The workshop is going to be super cute! Such a beautiful property. I am a building contractor and kudos to you and your husband! Hang in there before you know it you will be enjoying that beautiful view from the windows of your new home!

Thank you so much for the update. I was just thinking of you today while grooming dogs (cause I have a lot of think time 🤣), and wondering the progress of your new beginning. ❤️ So glad things are progressing.

Hi Holly😊Great to have you back. I love your property. If you don't mind me asking, how big is it? I live on a farm in Pretoria, South Africa. Our farm is approximately 33 hectares, which is about 81 acres. We have some goats, sheep, and a cow. I use the goats' milk for some of my soaps. Most of the milk is consumed by the kids. Sending you love and a speedy recovery from Pretoria, South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤️

...And I was delusional....lol! This speaks to my daily life and expectations!

Glad to see you are well and things are coming along. Take your time and everything will come together fine. Just breathe. See you when you get back.😊

Yay!! It is so AMAZING to see everything starting to come together! Also we will have to compare notes on Maksey!! I just got our first order in from them and can't wait to test things out!

So pleased to see a video update from you, Holly. Miss you, patiently awaiting your return. Be well!

Awwww Holly so good to see you carnt wait to see you making your beautiful soap again.been horrible with you and Karen missing ❤ lots of love from England ❤❤❤

Holly, I am so excited to see your shop coming together! We are glad for the rain that we have had lately to clear away all that Montana haze! Let me say one thing about a Montana gardener…we have extra large windowsills for one reason….our tomatoes in September 😂 Everything looks amazing and we hope you come up to Columbia Falls when we open the store! We would love to meet you♥️ Have a wonderful fall…I have a weird feeling that it’s going to be a short one this year😬🍁

I'm excited to see you return to you tube!

Oh Holly you are so adorable. By following your previous videos, I have a feeling you will put your Special Holly touch on your new workshop. Congrats for that. Sorry for your yucky summer, very relatable. And your knee, you've got this girl. Can't wait to buy wax melts from you again. PS I still have one of your sunflowe melts I keep in a drawer and smells wonderful. Many Blessings.

Some thing I do on my property is I have a baby pool filled with water for the critters so that they stay away from my hummingbird feeders. I don’t know if this would help with the squirrels trying to get to your water or not.

Hi Holly, sooo good to see you. You've been missed. You sound so much happier in Montana. Thanks for taking us along on your new journey. So exciting.

Can't wait for your next update , I've missed your video's sooo much
