Today was a really fun day. I woke up feeling a little anxious because I wasn’t sure if Harper would be in pain or really bruised, but her upper lip area actually looked way better than the day before and though the swelling was still present on the inside of her upper lip, but the outside looked good, considering how hard the fall was.
We ended up going through with our plans to go to the Pumpkin Patch Fall Festival at the Nature Discovery Center. My in-laws joined us and we had a great time walking the grounds and playing at the park.
Can you believe Harper actually kept her sunglasses on for some of the time we were there? I think it’s the longest she’s ever worn them. I’m trying to get her to wear her babiators more often so she’s used to them when we go to the Bahamas. By the way, babiators have a warranty— if you break or lose them within a year of having them, they replace them for free (you just pay $5.95 shipping). Harper’s broke a couple of months ago (we would have tried to fix them but the second lens was MIA) and they sent us a new pair right away.
Harper’s favorite thing lately is the slide. Since the weather has cooled down a little (in the 70’s or 80’s instead of the 90’s, ha) we have taken evening walks most nights and she loves going to the park. She can slide down all by herself now and keeps saying “more more” because she wants to go again and again. So it was no surprise when she beelined for the slide at the nature center today.
Anytime she sees pumpkins, she wants to carry them or sit on them…
She loved that smiling scarecrow…we had to jump around just to get her to look at the camera for this shot…
The perfect size to carry around…
After visiting the Nature Discovery Center, we took my in-laws to Local Foods. We eat there all the time but they had never been. I always get the crunchy chicken sandwich and postole soup. I’ve tried a lot of the sides and some salads too. It’s all delicious food made with ingredients that are locally sourced.
When we got home, I used my Zoku popsickle molds to make blueberry/raspberry yogurt popsicles for Harper. I used plain, 2% fage yogurt and blended it with blueberries and raspberries. I really love this kit— it’s really easy to use and the popsicles are a good size. I can already tell Harper will love them because I gave her the leftover mix from the blender and she licked the bowl clean.
I hope you had a wonderful Sunday! Thank you for all of your comments on yesterday’s post here on on IG. It was a very scary moment as a first time parent and I’m grateful for everyone who sent good wishes to Harper.

Great finds, Essie "wicked" is my favorite shade for the fall! I'm glad Harper's lip is looking better, must be a weight off of your shoulders. It's so hard when they hurt themselves! Looks like such a fun weekend!
Isn't wicked such a great shade? It's also one of my fall faves 🙂 wearing it right now actually! I'm so relieved to see she's okay. Flashing back to that
Moment and how loud and hard her lip hit that stair, I almost can't believe it. Have a great week!
I came across your blog when I was looking for pictures from our Pumpkin Patch online tonight. I am glad your family had a great time at our Pumpkin Patch today! And I am super happy to hear that your daughter loved the smiling scarecrow. She was an impulse buy. I saw the scarecrows marked down 40% last week and thought they would be nice for pictures. 🙂 ~Maura, NDC Staff
Hi Maura! Thank you for leaving a comment! We had such a great time and the event was really well put together! 🙂
Fun pumpkin patch trip! Totally off topic from your post, but I LOVE your ring/bands stack! I have a similar one to the one right under your e-ring. Where is the thin gold band from? Love! The Zoku pop was a total fail for K, but I hear some many tots love it!

the rose gold band is from Mark (the makeup brand)
Hiya! Such cute pics. I'm loving the tiny gold/rose gold ring you're wearing. I tried to search your blog for info, but couldn't find any….Help?
Thanks!
It's just a band from Mark (like the cosmetics line) 🙂
No way! It's so cute! 🙂
OMG I almost went to Nature discovery this weekend. I was going to take my son, but he woke up stuffy and had a cough. The weather was perfect sunday. at least for this born and bred houstonian lol. oh well 🙁 I hope your family had a great time. Love your blog!
Wicked is one of my favorite shades! You're reminding me that I need to wear it again. I also love the IT cosmetics brushes. I got the eyeshadow brush a few weeks ago and have no idea how I survived without it! Okay, that's an overstatement but I do love the brand.
We went to that pumpkin patch this weekend too and had a great time! The only bad thing was that my daughter was horrified of the pumpkins and refused to touch or sit near any pumpkin. Great idea with the popsicles, I think my daughter would love those since she refuses to eat fruit right now.
I SO wish Carson would leave his Babiators on! Maybe one day..
