The bigger the better. Why waste my time with anything wimpy? After a week of self-induced online hiatus (thanks to a mix of a trip to grandma’s house, a bit o’ laziness and minimal creativity on my part), I needed something HUGE. And then, these popped into my life. MEET MY PUMPKINS.
These ridiculously-large iron squashes got me revved up for the upcoming season. Sure, Halloween is mostly for kids, but Mommy likes to dress up too (dress up the house, that is). The only thing that gets me more excited than the thought of LadyP waddling around in her ladybug costume are these massively-gigantic son-of-a-guns currently planted on my dining room table. I think I’ll keep these suckers around until Thanksgiving… maybe even with those 3 Musketeers bars in the silver bowl too.
Part of staying fabulous (for me) is keeping my sense of style in check after having a baby. No paper pumpkins for this chick. I. Crave. Cool. Stuff. And so should you (whatever your ‘cool’ happens to be). Yes, I’m stoked to go trick-or-treating in the tackiest and wackiest of ways, but let’s not forget about the frivolous importance of remembering how to be chic for the holiday season. Last year this time LadyP was only about a month old and I was just beginning to remember my own name… nevermind that it was Halloween. It feels so good to be back… thinking clearly (relatively). 
Of course, LadyP has her own little ‘age-appropriate section’ of pumpkins in the kitchen. That’s my little rule: Sexy/stylish stuff in the main part of the house, kids stuff in the kitchen. Now if we could only master saying the word “pumpkin” instead of just pointing and laughing at it…
