Celebrate Pumpkin Day With Unique Fall Recipes!
Happy Pumpkin Day! Though some pumpkin-fanatics might argue that it should be considered a federal holiday with paid time off, it’s a lesser known holiday that doesn’t get much attention. That shouldn’t stop you from celebrating though! Today we shared a list of unique pumpkin recipes compiled by Reader’s Digest. There are plenty of options here, so you can really embrace the fall season with your meal planning for the next month. Or perhaps you’ll find a new treat to spice up the Thanksgiving menu this year. Check out the entire list HERE. Bon Appetit!

Fall Cleaning Part 2: Toys
Yesterday we shared a fall cleaning checklist to help you get your house in order, both inside and out, before winter hits. While you’re already in the cleaning mindset, you might as well take the time to add one more thing to the list: your kids’ toys. Though let’s be real, this is easily a year round assignment.
The tips come from The Krazy Coupon Lady, which is also a great resource for money saving tips and tricks. The cleaning methods included are simple, cheap, and, best of all, safe. After all, you don’t want to be using dangerous chemicals to clean something that your kid is probably going to immediately put back into their mouth. You can find the entire list HERE.
Everyone talks about Spring Cleaning, but don’t forget Fall Cleaning!
While the concept of spring cleaning gets a lot of publicity, it is important to engage in fall cleaning as well to make sure that your home is prepared for the rough winter months. That’s why the Morning Thing took time today to share a fall cleaning checklist. Trust me, I know that you probably don’t need another thing added to your to-do-list, but these fall cleaning items are the definition of “an ounce of prevention.” By taking the time to go through them now you will save yourself from having to deal with “a pound of cure” later.
Not everything on the list will apply to you. You may live in an apartment and not have to worry about winterizing your lawn equipment. You may not have a fireplace or chimney that needs cleaned. Regardless, there is something for everyone on this list. You can find the entire checklist HERE.

1. Jeremiah 29:11 – “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
2. John 14:1-3 – “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.”
