Pre Conference Relevant Linky Party

I am attending the Relevant Conference this year (2nd year in a row clapping my hands in excitement) and can't wait to see some "old" friends that I made last year.   I thought it would be fun to join in the Pre-Conference Relevant Linky Party with others over at Denise in Bloom.  I see my friend Sharon over at Hiking Toward Home (my roommate for the conference) has joined in so I best get my butt in gear also!  Some of these facts you might know, others are probably a surprise....



Top 25 Facts


  • First and foremost I am a Daughter of God
  • Second, I am a devoted wife
  • Third, a mother of 4 awesome children whom I home educate (3 of them)
  • I am a cancer survivor (I should write a book really on my life's events)
  • I have seen Jesus Christ personally ( he appeared to me in my bedroom while I was very ill)
  • I love to throw a party (think I might be a little addicted to throwing parties)
  • I have NEVER tasted Coffee in my life (tea drinker, sorry Sharon)
  • I have had a cat for over 13 years and his name is JOB (like the Bible)
  • I love to help out others in need
  • I often find myself with TOO much on my plate and need to know when to say NO
  • I struggle with perfectionism
  • I can't leave my bedroom in the a.m. unless my bed is made (even hotel rooms)
  • Fall is my absolute FAVORITE time of the year, especially where I live in NY
  • I love to take pictures!
  • I have been to Disney World alone and loved it!
  • I love to teach my children (home educate) but really am not good at teaching others' children.
  • I love grilled food...especially fish!
  • Dislike red wine, like white.
  • Honeymooned in Alaska and can't wait to return with our children.
  • Spent some time in Nova Scotia when I worked outside the home and thought it was a wonderful place to live!
  • I was a ballgirl for John McEnroe at a tennis match
  • I have flown a sea plane
  • I bungee jumped over a parking lot and think I am crazy for doing it, NEVER AGAIN!
  • I can't sew to save my life but love to craft.

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!�…
