3 Little Pumpkins...

One Little Pumpkin

So being a 'regular' at our town's yearly brewfest, my husband and I were quite fond of a beer we tasted out of St. Louis.  On a recent trip there, my husband was sure to pick up Schlafly Beer's seasonal Pumpkin Ale.  This is definitely a spice-filled beer...just like biting into a slice of pumpkin pie!  If you'd like to get the complete pie experience, just take a sip and squirt some whipped cream in your mouth!



Two Little Pumpkin
 
Here is a recipe I recently tried and must say it was pretty good!  This would be a great snack to add to your child's school lunch.
 


Pumpkin Dip
 
3 oz. softened cream cheese
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 8oz. tub of Cool Whip
 
Beat cream cheese and sugar.  Stir in the rest of the ingredients and fold in the Cool Whip.  Serve with graham crackers.  Enjoy!
 
Three Little Pumpkin
 

With every crocheted hat I make I realize it is definitely quicker than knitting.  And when you are a mom of three, constantly watching the clock, this is definitely a more time-friendly craft.  I just love the big flower on this one, don't you? 

Oh, I almost forgot one more thing to share with you!  I am a sucker for infomercials and newly invented cleaning products.  Can't explain why - I just am!  Anyway, I was at WalMart and stumbled upon these cool little doo-dads...


Can you believe it?  Microfiber Dust Slippers?  Why didn't I think of that!  I snatched these up and couldn't wait to get home and try them out!  Sure enough - they worked great!  And best yet, the sole of the slipper is detachable, so you can throw them in the wash when you're done dusting!  If you have hard-wood floors I would recommend getting these.....my daughter loved putting these to work!
