Pumpkin Patch #2 - Joe's Trees

Yesterday my friend Amelia invited Adeline and I to join her at Joe's Trees to go to the pumpkin patch. This was Adeline's second trip to a Pumpkin Farm and she had fun - she loved the animals the most. At Joe's Trees - everything is free (Hayride, corn maze, parking, admission, petting zoo, samples of jelly, etc.)! All you would pay for are your pumpkins, food, food for animals, trinkets, the mining sluice, etc. Lots of fun for the whole family. We didn't take the hay ride or go in the corn maze - but it looked like lots of fun! One more weekend to enjoy, so head on out!

My camera died midway so I didn't get many pictures. 

Citrus Lane Box Review - October Box

This month was our first month getting the box from Citrus Lane. I've been wanting to do it for months but didn't want to spend the money! I used a discount code and decided to give it a try. I've been reading blog reviews of previous months and the stuff they got was so cool and not necessarily stuff you would buy yourself.

Not entirely sure what happened this month.

This month was "Fall Fun", but the only thing fallish was the Big Smiles Cheesy Potato by Ella's Kitchen.

 My review of the items in the box:

- Munchkin 7oz Click Lock Trainer Cups $8.99 for 2-pack - I've been wanting to get more sippy cups for Adeline so I was kind of glad to see these, but not thrilled they weren't straws. Adeline loves straws. We tried these today and Adeline couldn't drink out of it! I even tried and I could barely get anything out myself! Hum... So we are not impressed.

- In My Den from Chronicle Books $8.99 - this is a cute Little Bear book where the Bear is a finger puppet. Adeline loves books, so this was a nice addition to the box.

- License to Drool by Bright Starts $2.99 - toy keys...I don't know any kids that do not have these already, so this was a huge disappointment. Especially for an 11 month old! So I guess these will go in my stash for baby shower gifts.

- BabyGanics Healin' Groovy $7.99 - we haven't had a chance to use this yet and since I can't find anyone to say it is Cloth Diaper safe, I won't be using it for that. It can be used for dry skin, burns, ouchies, etc. We'll see, just disapointed not CD safe.

DHC Deep Cleansing Oil Mini $4.99 - For MOM! I will definitly be trying this - something different that I would have never thought to buy. 

Big Smiles Cheesy Potatoes by Ella's Kitchen $2.49 - We practice BLW with Adeline, so she's never had pureed baby food. She did not like this. She tried it several times and I even tried to warm it up - nope! Not saying this is a bad product - just not for my baby since she'd rather eat real potatoes instead of pureed potatoes!

Here is Adeline opening her box!

Looks like she is saying "yeah!"

I'm going to give them another month to redeem themselves since the previous months have been so great! If you want to try out Citrus Lane, just click and sign up!

Bazaar Preparing and New Hair!

Each time I've gotten my hair cut recently I keep going shorter! Yesterday was no exception and is the shortest I am going! I decided that I needed a new cut for the Craft Bazaar so I went to my favorite salon - Salon Del Sol. My usual hairdresser (Nikki) wasn't in, and I can only go when I have someone to watch Adeline so I got Becky. She understood what I was looking for and did great!

Here are a few more items I've made for the Bazaar this Saturday and I shipped off more ETSY orders today! I was also asked to do a Fall Open House in November, I'm still thinking about that one. But it's definitely going in the right direction!

Pumpkin Patch - Jeter Farms Roanoke, VA

Today we went to the Pumpkin Patch as a family! I've been wanting to go, but decided to wait until Alan could go with us. With his work schedule it is not always easy! We decided on Jeter Farms since they were the closest and we only had a short time there before Alan had to go to work!

I haven't been to a Pumpkin Patch since I was young, so it was nice to relive some of those memories for me and to create the new memories with Adeline and Alan. This pumpkin patch was very reasonabley priced and worth the $7 entrance fee. The fee includes the petting zoo (calves, pigs, rabbits, and goats) and pony ride, hay ride, corn maze, kids train, kids slide, etc. They also have a country store that sells all sorts of lovely goods. We bought some apple butter! There is also grilled hamburgers and hotdogs and all the fixins' to buy to fill your belly after a fun time at the farm. The cost of the pumpkins are very reasonable as well. We only paid $3 for a decent size pumpkin. I would have picked 2 if I knew they were so cheap, but we were pressed for time. Adeline also got herself a baby pumpkin (free).

There isn't much time left to visit the Farm, so head on our to Jeter Farm to get your pumpkins and have some fun!

Getting ready to go!

Excuse my awkward pose!

Hay Ride

She loved the bunnies and they loved her! Too bad she kept closing her eyes for the pictures.

Adeline had a fun time,which is hard to tell from the pictures! She just didn't like being put down for pictures and was a bit overwhelmed I think.
