Ready To Carve Pumpkins?

Ready to carve pumpkins? We are attending a pumpkin carving party on Saturday, and the kids are so excited! We purchased our pumpkins last weekend, and the boys have asked all week if it is time to carve them. We purchased a kit with eyes, and it appears to be simple enough, that the boys can be very active in the carving. If I did not have to work with my youngest, I would go all out like I have in years past. (Spending hours cleaning, thinning, scooping, and carving beautiful works of pumpkin art! Who am I kidding I do a crooked smiley face every year!) So we are simplifying this year and letting the kids have fun, with a little guidance.

If you are able, and seeking inspiration; I found these great ideas on Pinterest:

Hate using carving knives and the little gizmo found in kits? I love this simple idea!


Support the Baltimore Ravens, with this great template!


As a fan of the St. Louis Cardnials, I have to share this fun template!


I love monograms and just love these ideas from Martha!


I love this idea, if you are crafty and do not want the mess of carving a pumpkin!

Congratulations to Kellie W .,  as she was selected as the winner of the giveaway for the  New Trent iCarrier Heavy Duty Dual Port Charger! It is that time again! Conference season, is here and I know many Bloggers are heading to conferences to network, connect with brands, and to see those that they correspond with on Social Media! I was amazed and overwhelmed at the amount of "stuff," one can drag with them to a conference. As I packed my bag for a local two day conference,  I could not help but count the number of gadgets and cords that I would be hauling with me.  It wasn't until lunch time, that I gave any thought to the fact that there weren't any outlets available to charge all of my devices that I used throughout the day to connect to Social Media! As I looked around there were hundreds of bloggers and business people, all with the same concern. How on earth would I save my dying Smart Phone? I looked at the wall behind me and there was a line of d
