Pumpkin Fever | Visiting the Andelin Family Farm

We’re all up for some outdoor family fun especially in the fall. We’ve heard so many great things about this family farm that we needed to check it out for ourselves.  We had high hopes for this farm due to the last local pumpkin patch we went to turned out to be a bust. We had no idea how close it was to our own home, which made it so convenient for us. Entrance fee is $7 for all adults which includes everything on the grounds (children under 1 are free). The entrance fee included everything in the farm from pony rides to hay rides – which is a steal in itself. We didn’t get to experience the face painting or the pony rides since we visited the farm on a Tuesday, but it was still so much fun for the entire family.

 

We were greeted by the friendliest and helpful staff. We were given a map to explore the farm grounds. They had everything from pick your own pumpkins to petting animals to fun little games. Haidyn has a short attention span when it comes to bigger places ( i.e  pumpkin patches in general ) but this farm allowed her to explore everything without getting tired of anything. There was so much to do that we explored the farm little by little.

Haidyn’s favorites were petting the animals (they have the coolest names) and the ride. Our favorite on the other hand was riding the bikes around the tire track. How could we possibly resist this cool attraction? We can’t wait to go back during a Saturday and in the spring for animal days! This family farm did not disappoint, in fact it surpassed all of our expectations. Thank you Andelin farm for being so welcoming, until next time!

 

 

Lil' Miss Designs Accessories Monthly Bow Description- Month One & Review

I found this store on facebook a little over 2 months ago while I was looking for Haidyn’s birthday bows.  I loved the fact that she had so many different options and ribbons styles to choose from. Each one is handmade and local; which I am a big supporter of.  Local is always better in my book. Lil’ MissDesigns offers a “Bow of the Month” subscription which offers 3 different options for the subscription; 3 month, 6 month or 1 year. The prices are reasonable and affordable if you are the one who loves to buy bows for your little one. I paid $ 90.00 for 3/bows a month for an entire year; which makes each bow $2.50 and shipping is free with the subscription.  You either get to pick the bows yourself or let her decide at random.   

Now that Haidyn’s hair is growing faster than I can keep up with, bows are an easy way to keep her hair in place and dress up her hair a little. My girl loves to play in the dirt at school so the bow doesn't fool anyone, but the bows always add a little flair to her outfits. She is starting to favor and pick her own bows too!  (Queue excited Mama Dance here)

She was not successful in eating this rock. Don't worry [: 

Each month of the bows I wanted to showcase all of the bows of the month that Lil’ Miss Designs created. This month I chose: SF Giants, St. Patrick’s Day and Elmo. All shipments are shipped out on the 15^th of every month; however since the mail man didn’t have mine out to deliver on time I received a complimentary Easter bow! Seriously, #1 reason why I love local small businesses!Check out the business facebook here and check out the different bows and accessories she has to offer!
