Happy Fall Friends! 

Hope you guys had a great vacation weekend enjoying time with your families and relaxing before we head into the grind of the year.

I'm totally ready for Fall, even though I really love Summer. I just wish we could do Fall and then Summer again maybe. Oh well. Will have to pray about moving to a warmer climate I guess lol.

I asked this question on Instagram and wanted to ask you guys here too.

What are you most looking forward to?

For me I can't wait to head to the Cider Mill for doughnuts, apple picking (a tradition we have done every year since we got married), watch the explosion of color happen on the trees, enjoy pumpkin spice lattes and maybe even learn the rules of football this year haha! ;)

What do you guys love to do during this season?

Much Love!

Tutorial: Carving a pumpkin with a Cool Design.

This year I decided to use a design which I found online.

I am not the greatest at freehand with pumpkin carving.

In fact I still struggle when trying to copy a design =)

So this year Andrew came up with a genius idea!

1. Find a design you like for your pumpkin (I would recommend google as it comes up with lots of different images). Pinterest may work if you have a specific one you have seen in mind.
2. Enlarge the image on your computer (May need to download and zoom in)
3. Take a piece of paper and gently trace the lines on the screen with a pencil (DO NOT push too hard!). A laptop may be easier for this as you can lie it flat and then trace.
4. Take the paper and transfer the pattern to your pumpkin using a pin. Make dots along the lines onto the pumpkin. (I did mine pretty close together)
5. Remove paper when finished and you are ready to carve! 

Hope that helps! 

Enjoy your pumpkins!

Much Love,
