How to use Smith’s Leather Balm

This has been a hard week.
It has stretched us physically, emotionally, pushed us
mentally and the end is still not quite yet in site.

But, I suppose we need times like this to remind
us of the Mountaintop experiences in life. Thank you to all who have checked in or sent a kind word.
Without getting too personal,
We’ll have an update soon.
Love to all. #holdfastliveslow

I’ve been walking to work.
Partly because I enjoy the cool, crisp morning air.
Mostly because my son bought my Jeep last week.

I told him when he was 12 years old that I’d match
whatever he could save for a car. That little punk
has worked hard for 4 years and never spent a dime.
When he came around with $10k I had to match it. But when he offered to buy my Jeep I cut him a deal.

I can’t complain though. It’s a short half mile walk.
Helps me clear my mind and prepare for the day.
If anyone is selling an 1989 Wagoneer, let me know.
Also considering a Civic or a 12 speed Schwinn.

A REMINDER (for myself mostly.)
Today was a wild one. Our oldest son got his license
and drove himself to practice for the very first time.
We stood in the driveway and shouted together
“Text us when you get there!” Pathetic, I know.

Tonight is our youngest son’s 16th birthday party.

It seems like just yesterday these two were digging
through Legos. Pretending the sofa is a pirate ship. Bare foot. Worn out from a long day of exploring the back yard. Begging us for one more bedtime story.

Today as that Jeep pulled out of our driveway
it felt like the end of a chapter (like a gut punch.)

But I’m excited for the next chapter too.
It may not be pirate ships and bedtime stories
It will be Jeeps, first dates, new jobs, life and loss.
It will be all sorts of new adventures and I can’t wait.

Today was a powerful reminder that:
The days are long but the years are short.
Hold Fast Live Slow.

Spilling the beans…
For centuries the Smith family has carefully guarded
the top secret recipe used in Smith’s Leather Balm.

Just kidding.
It’s organic cocoa butter, organic beeswax
and 100% pure sweet almond oil. That’s it.

We like to know what’s in things.
We thought you might like to know also.

In 2012 our family went completely non toxic.
We started with the cabinet under the kitchen sink.
We tossed anything with a skull & crossbones.

When we couldn’t find a non toxic leather conditioner
We made our own using just 3 all natural ingredients.
It’s safe enough to eat but taste like an old candle.
Seriously- don’t do it. Just because you CAN eat it
doesn’t mean you should (like brussels sprouts.)

So long, Summer.
In our coastal town, Labor Day marks the end of
summer. The beaches are packed this weekend
but soon Long Sands will be quiet. Life slows down.
The kids will be back in school and just like that-
a summer that feels like it just began is already over.

We spent our last weekend of summer doing all
our favorite things: Jeep rides down by the water.
Dipped our toes in the ocean. Hit up a few of our
favorite thrift stores and all the best coffee shops.

Our favorite part of New England life is the change
of the seasons. Marking time by the familiar sights,
sounds and even the smells of each season.
(What up, pumpkin spice.) Don’t hate.

We hope you have a wonderful Labor Day.
Thank you for allowing our family to labor together
and do what we love as a family. Love you cool cats.

S H O P T O U R < S W I P E
When our small business outgrew our home kitchen
we leased a 600 square foot workspace in our town.

Come on in. Have a look around the place:

On the far left is our order fulfillment & shipping area.
We fill 30-50 orders a day from this small table.
(Orders placed before 3pm EST ship same day 🙂

Next you’ll see a window where we take our photos.
It’s a bit tricky shooting into the dormer but we have
great light and use antique boxes/crates as props.

In the center of the room is a small desk where we
print labels, respond to emails and waste time.

In the second window we have our storage area.
We keep 600-800 pounds of raw beeswax on hand.

On the right side of the room are our wax melters.
These babies allow us to pour 2,500 tins a day!

Behind me (not seen) is a mirror image of the room.
Two more dormers, one we use for storage and the
other we use as a second photo taking area.
Maybe we’ll photograph that space next time 😉

Thank you for joining us on the tour!
And thank you for making all of this possible.
Drop any questions you have in the comments.

Our sons were born 1 year apart.
Not long after taking their first steps they would
toddle around our small apartment, find the dusty
Johnny Cash album and play “I Walk the Line.”

To this day I can’t listen to Cash without the memory
of my two young boys bouncing around our tiny
living room- in their diapers- singing I Walk the Line
at the top of their lungs, without a care in the world.

Today our sons stand almost 6 feet tall and look
me in the eye. They still like a little Johnny Cash.
They work hard. They are both kind and strong.
Our business wouldn’t be where it is today without their help. Thank you boys, for helping me build this.

I am very proud of you both (you too, Emma.)

Because you’re mine, I walk the line.
