Mr. Potato Head Pumpkins
While shopping one weekend at Wal-mart I came across these!
So fun! I got the idea from a friend (Thanks SB!), but had never seen them. While we still had pumpkin carving on the agenda, this really was so much easier! As you can see, the kids had a blast decorating!
Hi! My name is Melanie! Thanks for stopping by! I welcome your comments and look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Did you ever say to yourself...I could NEVER be a stay at home mom? I did...and now I'm a stay at home mom and loving it! This blog primarily reflects how God guided me to this decision, the vision he has given me for motherhood and the things that I am learning through this season!
God has blessed me with such a wonderful husband that I've been married to for 10 years. We have two beautiful little girls and two handsome little dudes. They have truly brought so much joy to our hearts that it's kind of hard to remember what life was like before we had them.
Adoption has always been on our hearts and though we don't know where all that fits in just yet, we know that whatever that looks like and whenever that is, God's timing is always perfect.
