1st Day of School - SUCCESS!

If you missed "what the children woke up to" from last nights' post
check it out HERE!

We eased back into school today with our full time schedule...this year I had all three of them in "school".

Sammie  - Preschool
Molly - Kindergarten
Zachary - 2nd grade



Healthy breakfast of Super Mario Brother Cupcakes...LOL



A few wax mustaches to set mood right....



Started with our Devotional from "Jesus Calling" (I recommend this to anyone
homeschooling and wants to incorporate Christ into their studies)


This year we are incorporating The Pledge of Allegiance into our
morning routine.





They will take turns holding the flag. Zachary switched his arms right after
this picture...lol...



Our new Prayer Pail...I write things that we want to pray about and stick them into the pail. When it comes time for prayers we all pick one out and pray specifically for that person/event etc. Kids are loving it!




Each child had one of these at their spot...
Thanks to I Heart Naptime for these cute printables!



2nd Grade..
Super Mario Brothers is our theme this week....

Mario Brother Lapbooks - used some awesome 
materials from The Linton Academy  to help me out!



Weather charting (taken from Homeschool Creations)


Some Math Blaster fun!


Having a great time with some review quizes from 
Time 4 Learning site.


Preschool - Sammie


Color recognition Lapbook



Just happy to be at the big table with the other kids...


Love love love these dauber worksheets from 2TeachingMommies



Little puzzle time...


Kindergarten work....


Some number recognition


Jigsaw Puzzles on line...


Filling in our weather on our new Morning Board - inspired
from Homeschool Creations

It was a little tough at times with Sammie...she wanted my attention a lot so that took away from the other two...however, when she napped I was able to give more time to Zachary and start our weather unit.


Here is one of my newest organization tools for this year...

Pottery Barn "Family Calendar"

It was a gift from Bubby....I love it!


They each have a cubby (mailbox) where I can put mail, letters, gift certificates
etc...




On the bottom are the childrens' new Chore Charts.
(again another awesome FREE printable from Homeschool Creations)


Praying all our friends in public school had a great day back today!  Thinking of you mommas 
too with children attending school for the 1st time! 




Please join me over at Ginger Snaps for their Back to School link up party!

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.

Shining the Spotlight - Soapforcollege

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!�…
