Wild Crazy Weekend

One thing I love about homeschooling (and there are 100's) is that our children don't get sick as often as children who are in public schools. I heard that this stomach bug was going around the schools quickly and I felt bad for all the kids (and parents) I heard getting it. I guess the stomach bug does not discriminate because it hit us on Friday night and hit us hard!

As you know on Saturday we were hosting the Woodland Fairy Party (see blog post for all the detials and pics HERE) and on Saturday, early a.m., our oldest, Zachary, came in projectile vomiting everywhere...yuk and more yuk. This did not let up (every 20 mins) from 12:30 am - 6:30 am..needless to say we were all exhausted and I had a party to host in a few hours. Set up needed to be done. The party, which was going to be partially inside and partially outside, was now being replanned (plan D) to totally outside (rain or shine) and my son needed me. You all know what it's like to be pulled in 3 directions at once.

I put my "big girl panties on" and sucked it up! (isn't that what all us moms do in times of crisis) Party went off without a hitch! Once the party was over and clean up began, I started to feel (physically) the pressure of the day. By bedtime, I was not feeling well (and hubby and I were suppose to have a date day on Sunday). Yup you guessed it, the bug had found ME! My son was good as new by Sunday morning and I had hit a brick wall. Hubby did a great job keeping it all together for the day as I never got out of my PJ's and nursed a fever for a good part of the day. Good news, as with Zachary, the bug only last about 24 hours because this morning, as I type, I feel fine! Little empty in the stomach, but no fever!

Now, waiting for the other two to get sick 8( as this bug finds it way elsewhere in the home. Lysol is a my best friend today! We will not overdue it with school this week. Expecting more rain this week, which means, they will be bouncing off the wall from lack of exercise by weeks end 8(

Next week the hubby and I are going away for a night without children (mid week) so there is that to look forward to! Pray the bug has left the building by then!

Hope you all have a great week and Be Blessed!

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 …

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!�…
