We had a great weekend in North Georgia! My parents have a timeshare in Helen and we usually stay there a few days each year. Helen is a small German-themed town with lots of character. I’ve been visiting almost every year since I was little. There isn’t a ton to do, but we enjoy spending time together and hitting up a few of our favorite spots!
We always stop at Jaemor Farms on the way up to the timeshare.
If you don’t take pictures of your family in a pumpkin patch each fall, are you even a mom?! Seriously though – it seems like it’s a requirement these days. We’ve visited a bunch of different pumpkin patches over the years, but my favorites are outside of the city. For me, a sprawling farm of pumpkin fields and a quaint little country store with freshly picked mountain apples, country jams, and homemade apple-cider donuts give me more “fall-feels” than the pumpkin patches that pop up in parking lots here in Atlanta. This year, we visited Jaemor Farms‘ patch and were able to get some really awesome obligatory pumpkin patch pictures, a decently priced pumpkin, and some other tasty treats!
There’s no entry fee for the pumpkin patch at Jaemor. Feel free to roam around the fields at your leisure, taking all of those obligatory family pictures. The pumpkins aren’t super expensive, and the prices vary by size. You can also skip the field altogether and choose a pumpkin from their farm market store.

Happy Monday! It’s cold here in Atlanta this morning, so I wanted to share some of the super cute things I’ve bought for Maddie for the cooler weather. Target is killing it with their toddler section lately! I’ve been having a hard time not buying a million things for Maddie. Check out a few of our favorites below!
I really, really wish this came in my size! The polka-dots are adorable and you can’t help but feel happy when you see the back of the jacket. There’s also embroidery on the cuffs on each sleeve – one side says “hi” and the other says “bye.” Too cute!

During our beach trip this summer, my mom made some really neat beach sensory jars with my kids. They loved the project and the jars turned out really cool! I had so many friends ask for directions so they could make some with their kiddos. It’s actually a super simple project! You can customize them any way you want with different color glitter or food coloring. My kids have been begging to make more, so last week we made a couple of Halloween themed ones.
Here’s what you’ll need:
Plastic sensory bottles
Glitter
Clear liquid hand soap
Food coloring (optional)
Small Halloween themed toys or figurines
Last week my kids had a few days off for fall break. It was the perfect time to do some of the local fall-themed activities here in Atlanta. One attraction we love to visit every year is the Scarecrows in the Garden exhibit at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. Each scarecrow is handmade by businesses, individuals, schools, and organizations around the city. Some are funny, some are creepy, and some are just silly! We love picking out our favorites!
This one was Maddie’s favorite!
