Tennessee Pumpkin Patch

When the weather is beautiful, all I want to do it be outside. When the girls are cooperating, all I want to do is take cute pictures of them. And a Tennessee pumpkin patch in October is the perfect place for both of these variables to come into place.

Here are the photos in no particular order, with random commentary as I felt like it. :)




This is my niece Rebekah. I LOVED her dress (and her too!). Turns out, it is from Gymboree and my sister-in-law bought it at a consignment shop. I think it was a great choice for some time spent with pumpkins.

These have got to be the 2 ugliest pumpkins I have ever seen!

I've been asked to work on providing more sensory input to Mary and to try and get her used to more textures. So, much to my mother's horror, I left her barefoot to walk around the patch. She didn't seem to mind it as much as I expected, which wasn't what I expected. In the past she has hated to be sat in the grass!



I don't know where Charlotte was going so fast, but she was determined to get there quickly!

    HI Jennifer,
    It's been awhile since I stopped by your blog and today I thought, I wonder what Jennifer has been up to with her girls? So fun to see!
    Blessings, Laura

    Anni Liebowitz says she likes the top-down shot of Mary and the pumpkins.

Giveaway: Bake Me A Wish

Image
This giveaway is closed. When I came home from running errands recently, I saw a big box sitting on my doorstep. As I got closer, the anticipation built and then I realized it was a Vanilla Bean Cake from Bake Me A Wish! Woo hoo! This was a review I knew my husband would enjoy participating in. The Vanilla Bean cake from Bake Me a Wish! came packed in a cooler and ice pack because it is perishable. It took self control, but I put it in the fridge straight away and waited patiently for my husband to come home so we could celebrate life. When we finally got to sample the cake, I put some candles on it so Charlotte could practice blowing them out. We are slowly getting ready for the big day of her birthday party and have never put candles on a cake for her before. As I was enjoying my slice of the Vanilla Bean Cake, Bruce and I brainstormed when this type of cake service might be useful. And here is the list we came up with: When you want a gourmet cake, but don't have acces

Win Free Cereal

This giveaway is closed. Winners will be announced later this weekend. I've definitely been on the giveaway wagon recently and am glad to be participating in the Fall Bloggy Giveaways Carnival. For this giveaway, I have FOUR (yes, you read that right - 4 winners!) full-price coupons for a new cereal from General Mills. Per their marketing, this cereal " combines great-tasting chocolatey puffs with vanilla puffs, a classic combination that kids love. Even better, Cocoa Puffs Combos is made with whole grain and is a good source of Calcium and Vitamin D." I love cereal. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and as a snack in between all of those. I am particularly fond of Lucky Charms. The crunchy combined with the sweet marshmallows gets me every time. All you have to do to enter is tell me what your favorite cereal is and leave some way for me to contact you, either through a blog or e-mail. This giveaway is open to US residents only (because I don't think t

Note to Self

This giveaway is closed. Winners will be announced later this weekend. Warning: Since I typically have a family-friendly blog, I want to let my readers know that this post is not safe for little eyes. Have you ever sat down with a new friend and found you stayed up way too late talking about every subject under the sun? Discussing religion, careers, and yes, even sex, even though you've only known each other for a very short period of time? That is what it was like for me to read Note to Self - On Keeping a Journal and Other Dangerous Pursuits , by Samara O'Shea. Once I started it, I felt like Samara and I were just hanging out on my couch, sipping decaf lattes and having a conversation. (Okay, Samara might be sipping something harder, but I'm still nursing.) It was that easy to read. The basic premise of her newest book is teaching people how to write in a journal, by sharing her own journal entries. Personally, she wrote for therapy, sharing "A journal is an effecti
