Heartful of Learning

One of the things I love about schooling "around" holidays or celebrations is that we can "theme" up our learning. Valentine's Day has been no exception!  We have made so many different crafts with hearts!  Yesterday was our Fruit Loop hearts!  We also have been reading Valentine themed books and eating yummy Valentine Themed treats! 



Working on a lapbook I made using the fraction printables from The Linton Academy ( I love her stuff)





I laminated everything so we can still use it for the other kids when the time comes...


Molly working on Hugs & Kisses patterns, again printables from The Linton Academy! (ps.  they are FREE!)


A yummy treat I made this week....oh so good!





Working on the fruit loop heart craft!






Love Love Love Scholastic....we get the younger version (Clifford) for Molly and the Primary school age one for Zachary. I love how Scholastic keeps the themes on target. Easy for me!


Great book!


Kids actually learned a little with this one....lol

Have you been doing any Valentine Themed Crafts with the kids?  Decorating together?  Share with us....

Oh, and if you missed my blog post yesterday about March 2nd being Dr. Seuss' b'day and the awesome website I found....check out the post here!


DONT FORGET THESE IS STILL TIME TO HOP ON OVER TO THE LEGO MANIA PARTY AND ENTER!

I'm really glad you like the printables. I love the Fruit Loop heart craft. I am pondering whether or not I'd like to try this today with Crunch Berries... maybe some stale honey nut Cheerios..lol.

And completely unrelated...I love your girls' names. I have a little girl named Molly who was nameless for 3 days because we couldn't decide between the names Molly and Samantha. Our second girl will prob be Samantha, too. :)

What a lot of fun activities. The Scholastic book about stinky feet looks like a hoot. I love doing themed homeschool lessons and unit studies.

What a fun and "hearty" week. Do like those cheerio hearts... but think I am more partial to your heart cookies (which reminds me... we need to hurry up and bake some!)

Thanks for linking up - GREAT to see you there!

I love the fruit loops heart. Sometimes it's hard to find good crafts for the littlest ones like my boys so I'm always thrilled to find something easy enough for them.

Shining the Spotlight - Finding Home Farms

Today at Woodwater Farmhouse, I am sharing with you another company that I feel you should know about.  


I first learned about Finding Home Farms on Instagram. Little did I know, Laura, one of the owners of Finding Home Farms, lives local to me, in the Hudson Valley of New York. 
You can read all about Laura and her lovely family at her blog about page. 
 I immediately knew that I had to try their products in my home. I have grown to love their products (shop), Laura's sense of style and her blog. 
Can we just stop now and talk about their packaging first.  It speaks to you before even trying the products. Simple, organic and calming.  Isn't it just darling with the little dove.
sigh....insert smile

I love her blog tagline - Gather Create Connect - that says it all, there in three little words. YOU already know before going forward that you are in for a special treat. 
I am only going to speak to a few of their many products because these are what we use in our home with our family.

Happy New Year and welcome back to our first
Shining the Spotlight
for 2017! 

 I hope you all enjoyed your holidays and are settled back into your routines.







Today I am so excited to introduce you to a company that has such a wonderful purpose behind it!  Jessica Griffis is a 17 year old college student paying her way through college selling Hilltop Design simple, natural and homemade products.  Jessica was also home educated!!! (dear to my heart)

Ya'll know I am all about the package as first impressions are so important. Don't you just love this sticker/stamp that she had on her package!  Spoke to me before I even opened it up and smelled the freshness of the products. 

I was impressed with the smell of the products, not overwhelming and artificial smelling at all. I felt safe using them on myself and my children. 

There are lip balms, lotions, scrubs, body butter, bath bombs and more.  The scrubs rival any other name brand and the bath bombs are THE BOMB!   The products are very …

Shining the Spotlight

Today at Woodwater Farmhouse, I am sharing with you a company that  not only meets but exceeds my expectation.  In service and product. 
Rustic Honey




The owner's name is Lauren Moran and I can see why her shop is so successful!  Rustic Honey is a lifestyle boutique. They offer women's clothing and accessories, children's wear, home goods, vintage finds, handmade gifts and more!  Let's look at this business card first. First impressions are everything in my book.  (I did not get a picture of the adorable chalkboard wrapping that the box was wrapped in but it was so cute!)


It's cute, to the point and shows her style.


Not even talking about the farmhouse towel that I ordered yet...but come on a hand written note to me personally and has all her social media outlets on there also. Clever!  On the opposite side of this personalized note is the cutest quote and picture. 

Ok I am getting to the towel I ordered..it's HUGE and adorable. The printing is clear and impressive!�…
