Its been almost an entire year since I did a post but in the last year: I got pregnant in May (had bad evening sickness) worked the Farmers Market all summer and into the fall. Moved in August. Moved in November. During that time I was watching my nephew and in October until Thanksgiving, I watched my niece as well. Then in New Years Eve, I had our beautiful baby girl Clara Jane. Its been a busy year but I wouldn't have traded it for anything, maybe a little bit more sleep. But now I get more sleep than I have since before I had Phillip so I cant complain, I get tired yes but it can always be worse :)
Last night my mother and I were in a Ladies Night Out at Moss Greenhouse. We don't do too many events because it's a lot of work and we like to enjoy downtime before the Market starts up again in June, but this is a good way to promote the Farmers Market and get things going again.
My dear friend Emma watched the boys and the plan was to have Phil come and help when Clara needed attention but that wasn't how it went.
When I got to the event to set up I found out that there was some miscommunication with people coming to help so it was just my mom and I. We set up as she and I made phone calls, bless my dad and Phil for coming to save the day. Phil got there and he had to run home because a pipe burst in our front yard. JOY... so there was a 5 foot geyser spraying on our property and water draining down the street. He went home and was able to fix it, so poor thing was running around all night as well.
With us working together we were able to get the market promoted and have a fun evening. Clara was having allergies in the greenhouse so I had to take her home early and put the boys to bed because they had school the next morning. They were exhausted from playing with their friends so now we get to relax for a day until our family comes up for Easter which we are so excited for! My boys love seeing their cousin friends.
I cant seem to upload any photos. The first table was the goats milk soap from Utah and had 3 new varieties. My favorite right now is Ginger Lime, they go so good together! Another table was filled with the gourmet vinegars and oils from Northern Idaho, the oils are new this year and I can't wait to cook with the mandarin orange flavor. The last booth was my jams and honey. I made 6 varieties of jam, and had 3 sizes of the bottled honey. Ill be ordering more of the smaller size because we sold out of the tiny ones. They are so cute and only $3.00 a bottle! Also on the table was pancake, muffin, brownie and cornbread mixes, as well as blueberry and strawberry syrups that I made.
We're excited to start the Market again soon!
