Great day of School with Snakes!

Today has been another great school day...on a roll so far..lol...only three days in!

Picture from yesterday's craft...finally glue dried



Our postman gave us a tip that there was a momma Gardner snake and her babies down by the front of our property hanging out by some rocks...so of course we got our shoes on and grabbed our camera...made a lesson out of it!  Why not right! (we see them a lot but not this year yet due to the cold weather)


When we got down there there were 4 snakes, the mom was less vibrant and more active.  None of the kids were afraid, which was good at this point, however will have to teach them good from bad snakes.  There was a neighbor walking her dog also standing there watching them all and I said so hard to see them with the leaves and brush. Molly immediately said " that is what being camouflaged is called..."   I was smiling and the neighbor said "I am impressed!"    ah...homeschooled kids...love it!


Sammie decided to "read" some Franklin books...she was talking a mile a minute...


Our newest Flat Traveler arrived today from Ohio!  (I will be blogging about that soon)


Continued our research about butterflies...

Facts you may or may-not know about Butterflies

  • There are over 20,000 different types of butterflies
  • Butterflies can't hear sound.
  • Butterflies smell with their antennae.
  • They taste with their feet!
Fun huh!

3 days of happiness?!? Excellent. My kids would LOVE to have some snakes in our yard but it's a little too suburban for them. And too cold!

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!�…
