Acceptional Things
Handcrafted products made with purpose.

An outreach of Acceptional Ministries, creating jobs for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities—where everyone can belong and achieve.

🍂 A little fall fun, a lot of community, and a whole lot of purpose! ❤️

We had a wonderful time bringing Acceptional Things to the Scott Libby Elementary PTA Fall Festival!

For us, these events are about so much more than selling soap. They’re about showing up, building relationships, supporting Litchfield ESD schools, and sharing what happens when we create opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Every conversation, every purchase, and every new connection helps us continue building something bigger.

Thank you, Scott Libby Elementary, for welcoming us into your community! 🧡

Because it’s never really been about the soap. It’s about the people, the purpose, and the possibilities.

💛 It’s Never Been About the Soap. 🧼

Well, okay… maybe a little about the soap. 😉

But when we started Acceptional Things, our dream wasn’t simply to make great products.

It was to create opportunities.

Opportunities to learn new skills. To discover talents. To experience the pride of a job well done. To be part of a team. To contribute. To belong.

Because for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, opportunities like these aren’t always easy to find.

Every bottle filled, every label placed, and every bar wrapped represents something bigger than the product itself.

It’s about purpose. It’s about possibility. It’s about being seen for what you CAN do, not what you can’t.

And someday, we hope the work we’re doing at Acceptional Things will help grow something even bigger at Acceptional Acres—a community where home, work, friendship, and belonging come together.

So yes, we make soap. And we’re pretty proud of it!

But it’s never really been about the soap. It’s about the people. 💛

Thank you for seeing the heart behind what we do and go buy some soap!

💚 Small Steps. Big Purpose. Exceptional Possibilities.

At Acceptional Things, we believe everyone has something valuable to contribute.

Every bottle filled, every label placed, and every product carefully packaged represents more than just another item ready for the shelf.

It represents opportunity.
It builds confidence.
It creates purpose.
And it reminds us that ability comes in many forms.

We’re not just making soaps, lotions, and everyday essentials. We’re creating a place where individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities can learn, grow, and take pride in the work they do.

And none of it happens without YOU!

Every purchase, every share, and every word of encouragement helps us keep creating opportunities.

Thank you for seeing the ability and supporting the purpose behind every product. 💚

Workshop Wednesday: From Garden to Jar

This is what we’ve been waiting for.

Our little urban garden has finally produced enough , , basil, clary sage, sage, peel, and chamomile for us to start experimenting with our own botanically infused tallow balms at Acceptional Things.

We’ll carefully infuse selected botanicals into tallow and jojoba oil, then begin testing different blends and formulations.

But this is about more than making a new product.

This is a glimpse of the connection between Acceptional Things and Acceptional Acres .

Today, these are growing in a small . Someday, we envision many of them growing at Acceptional Acres tended, harvested, dried, and transformed into products by exceptional people.

Grow it at Acceptional Acres.
Create with it at Acceptional Things.
Build meaningful work, purpose, and belonging along the way.

The jars may still be a little empty…but to us, they look like the beginning of something pretty big.

workshopwednesday is about to get interesting. c

So THANK YOU for making me keep going back to storage.

INGREDIENT THURSDAY: FRESH ALOE

This week, I’ve been experimenting with something new in the Acceptional Things studio: fresh aloe straight from the leaf.

And it turns out there’s a little more to it than just cutting open a leaf and scooping out the gel.

See that yellow/brown color in the water? 😮

Aloe leaves contain a yellow latex just beneath the outer rind that contains aloin, so I’ve been experimenting with carefully preparing and soaking the fresh aloe before using the clear inner gel.

Why all the experimenting?

I want to see if I can successfully use fresh aloe as part of the liquid in our handmade soaps rather than simply reaching for a commercially prepared aloe ingredient.

But there’s another reason I’m working with fresh aloe: I’m thinking about the future of Acceptional Acres

If we’re able to grow aloe on the Acres someday, I want to understand how to prepare and use it now. That way, we can learn through the experimenting process and hopefully create something meaningful with aloe grown right here on our own land.

Will it work?

That’s what experiments are for. 😂

A little nature. 🌿
A little chemistry. 🧪
A little planning for the future. 🌱
And probably a few batches that don’t go exactly according to plan. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I’ll show you what happens!
