Fall is here! This year, seeing the pumpkin patch open was thrilling! Normally we wait until a week before Halloween to visit the pumpkin patch. Our goal has always been to buy pumpkins to carve for Halloween. This year, Halloween is going to be much smaller since we aren’t allowed to trick or treat, and the kids cannot attend their normal Halloween gatherings. Therefore, the pumpkin patch took on a new meaning for me this year; decorate for fall.

Despite the ninety-degree weather out there right now, fall is here. So, to get into the spirit, I’ve been stocking up on any pumpkin food at the market I can find. I also invested in a new fall wreath for the front door, and bought pumpkins early to decorate the front door! I have to admit, I love the fall decor! Oh, and I also bought those mini gourds and pumpkins to decorate my kitchen table. Yes, I am overboard for fall this year. haha, don’t hate!

We didn’t spend a long time at the pumpkin patch this year, since we are trying to stay safe and not get sick. We were there just long enough to pick out some really cute pumpkins for the front door, which will get carved a few days before Halloween, and snap a few quick pictures! After all, is it really fall if you don’t take a picture with a pumpkin? Cheesy-yes, necessary-also yes!

Are you heading out to the pumpkin patch this year? Do you usually buy pumpkins to decorate for fall, or are you looking for future jack-o-lanturns?

I hope you are having a fabulous fall season. Oh, and if you are looking for a good laugh, I fell into, then had trouble getting out of, a giant chair. Kudos to my son for capturing my fall. You can see it below.

Thanks for stopping by!

XOXO

Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2020 awareness products from top left: pink ribbon cuff links / pink necklace / pink ribbon mug / pink ribbon throw blanket / pink long sleeve tee / breast cancer awareness masks /

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and this is such an important cause. At this point in my life, it is no longer just relatives in my family I have known with breast cancer, it is now my peers and friends from throughout my life. This is a disease that touches almost all of us. While many women survive, some do not; including my grandmother who tragically lost her life, when my Mother was young, to breast cancer. This is why it is so important for all us to get annual mammograms once we turn forty, and to also do self exams at home. Always be on the lookout for signs of abnormalities too!

In order to help support breast cancer research and awareness. I have linked to several products which benefit the fight against breast cancer, as well as help raise awareness to remind people how important it is that we all continue to be on the lookout for symptoms.
