Who we are
Welp… Here I go! Herlooowwww! My name is Jennifer and i am the absurd matriarch of the family “Mad House.” I am the lady who wears many hats, (I just haven’t reached for the “red hat” yet, wink, maybe someday!) I am the Owner/Maker at Mad house, the mother of 6 (ages 5-25), “ya-ya” of 1 and another, “in the oven,” the wife, the homeschool mom, the kid-cab driver, goat lady, etc.
Our dream came true when our family moved to the country! We immediately started our “funny farm” with goats, rabbits, free range chickens, geese & ducks, a pet Turkey and a Guinea named “Winnie,” makes for a total “MAD HOUSE.” We are the worst homesteaders! We fall in love with all of our animals and just have a ton of pets, But The goats were the animals that totally played my heart-strings and created the monster that is “Mad House.”
We started with just a handful of sweet, and sometimes salty goats and quickly discovered our deep and undeniable love for these charming critters! As our goats had their adorable, bouncy babies, we suddenly found ourselves swimming in an abundant sea of excess milk and decided to dive into the adventurous world of cheese-making. That flopped and I learned lessons (queso fresco is not cheddar, or brie), I pivoted to creating luxurious goat milk soap, that is so celebrated for its wonderful benefits for sensitive skin, especially for our own kiddos, big and small! This newfound passion blossomed into a glorious, whimsical wonderland filled with creamy lotions, invigorating body scrubs, creamy butters, nourishing shampoo bars, eco-friendly laundry detergent, bubbly dish soap, and so much more! BTW… My whipped skin drench is Amaaaazing! I am a frustrated perfectionist, so I rarely toot my own horn, but I truly, deeply, passionately Love-this-stuff! It makes my leathery, red-head skin so stinkin’ (in a good way) soft!
Whoa! I just fell down a bit of the legendary “rabbit hole.”
I have only ever been truly passionate about a few things in my life, and that is: Family, my homestead, and making high quality soaps, bath, Body, Hair and Home products!
