I love any holiday  – decorating my house, taking pictures and aromas are just a few things I look forward to as the seasons change.

Opening up the storage bin to get my decorations out definitely puts a pep in my step. I have such fond memories from my childhood of coming home after school, and my mom would have transformed our house into a magically decorated place.

One of my favorite things to do with my kids during the holidays is to take their pictures. I have taken their pictures for so long they are almost like perfect robots: they know the drill and now actually enjoy it. If you have young babies let me encourage you that there does come a time when they will sit still and just smile!

During the holidays my refrigerator is a collage of pictures that I have taken over the years. My kids LOVE looking at the pictures and seeing what they looked like in years past. Last week we headed to one of our favorite places, the Dallas Arboretum. The Arboretum creates a wonderfully festive place with pumpkins, a hay maze, playhouses decorated with pumpkins and much more.

Last week I told you that one of my favorite products this time of year is our pumpkin notepads. I don’t want you to miss out – they make the perfect little gift to brighten someone’s day. I love giving these to my kids’ teachers, the school secretary (who is always looking for a pad of paper) or just a friend. Wrapping them up and adding a little orange ribbon packs the perfect punch, and the best part for you is we are offering FREE shipping! Don’t let this month pass by without getting some pumpkin notepads.

So don’t miss an opportunity – get out there, take some pictures and order some pumpkin pads for a friend or for yourself! Remember it’s FREE SHIPPING!

In the classic “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown,” Linus proclaims that the Great Pumpkin will rise out of the pumpkin patch, fly through the air and bring toys to all the children of the world. Linus is sure that his is the most sincere pumpkin patch, so the Great Pumkpin will come to it. If the Great Pumpkin were real, I believe he would choose the little pumpkin patch in the photo above.

You see, one of my favorite products this time of year is our pumpkin notepads. They make the perfect little gift to brighten someone’s day. I love giving these to my kids’ teachers, the school secretary (who is always looking for a pad of paper) or just a friend. Wrapping them up and adding a little orange ribbon packs the perfect punch and the best part for you is we are offering FREE shipping! Don’t let this month pass by without getting some pumpkin notepads.

Maybe, just maybe, if you have these spread throughout your house, the Great Pumpkin will come visit you. What do you think?
