FUN Fall Giveaway!

It's been a rough week. One of my kids has some mysterious allergic reaction all over her body. We have been to the doctor twice in four days and received very little information about what it could be and the best way to treat her. Believe me, she is VERY vocal about how uncomfortable she is...

One of the diagnosis is dermatitis due to mites (YUCK, I know). So, I have spend several hours EVERY DAY changing beds, washing sheets, vacuuming the whole house and preparing soothing baths. Not such a bad time of year to be doing all these things as I do love to clean the house from top to bottom at the change of a season! Makes everything seem so fresh and helps me feel ready to conquer what lies ahead. Maybe you feel the same way?

I was definitely hoping so...

In honor of fall and all the cleaning up it brings, our newest giveaway is HERE.

We are giving away a 32 oz size of our very own, Sunshine Lavender Farm "Lavender Laundry Booster". Use it to naturally scent and boost your laundry detergent. Add 1/2 cup along with either liquid or powder laundry detergent for super cleaning power with a fresh lavender fragrance. Nice exclusively for sheets, towels and everyday washing. It is so yummy!

To win this awesome giveaway, please leave a comment indicating your favorite thing about fall...I will randomly pick a winner next Friday October 19th at 6:00 PM EST.

Just a note, another one of my FAVORITE things to do in fall is to make a fresh pot of soup. In between cleaning and folding and surviving this morning, I made a HUGE pot of "Garlicky White Bean Soup with Dark Greens". I found the recipe on Pinterest earlier this week...can I get a shout out in regards to the AWESOMENESS that is Pinterest?? YAY!!

If you are interested, here is the recipe link- Garlicky White Bean Soup with Dark Greens. ENJOY!!

Lavender Update & FIRST Blog Giveaway

Right now, I really don't think the lavender plants could possibly be any more beautiful...so green and lush. Hard to believe that just six weeks ago everything was sleepy and grey. The only thing more beautiful is the fireworks of FULL bloom!

And based on the initial bud counts, in VERY full bloom they will be...soon! A true feast for the eyes. Have I mentioned lately how very much I love our farm??

Moving on to important business...after much anticipation (insert drum roll, please), we are excited to begin our bimonthly Sunshine Lavender Farm product giveaway!!  For our first lovely gift, I have chosen the ever so fragrant, ever so soothing, Lavender Bath Salts. This jar is filled (16 oz to be exact) with yummy sea salt and crushed "sunshine lavender farm" exclusive lavender florets. Also included is a muslin bag to fill and use in your very own relaxing bath.

Aren't you relaxed now after just reading about this wonderful product? 

To be included in the drawing that will take place on Saturday May 5th at 3:00 PM EST, please leave a comment below and answer the following question- Of the MANY practical uses of lavender, which is your favorite?
