Easiest Way to make a jack-o-lantern

October 9, 2016 By houseofhargrove@gmail.com

My kiddos love making jack-o-lanterns each year.  It is a super fun family evening!  We carve them, eat a spooky dinner and then watch a Halloween movie!  While the kiddos love it my hubby gets stuck with the actual carving and that part is not always the most enjoyable!  This year I am so so excited to have discovered Pumpkin Punches.  It is by far the easiest way to make a jack-o-lantern.

Pumpkin Punches comes with 31 different facial features so you can mix and match and create the exact look you want.

Here are the 2 designs we picked for our pumpkins!

Then it is super easy…clean out your pumpkin like normal, then arrange the metal pieces (kinda like cookie cutters) on the pumpkin and use a rubber mallet to push them through the pumpkin.

Braden wanted to help too!

 It was quick, easy and my daughter loved that she could do it too.  Typically she just watches Daddy carve the pumpkins, but this year she got to help and she thought it was the best!  The faces are so clean and precise.  Then you just wash the punches and they can be used year after year!

Here are our jack-o-lanterns!  They are by far the best ones we have ever had!

We all had so much fun that we want to invite friends over and have a “Pumpkin Punches Carving” party!  This is such a fun activity for the kiddos and they truly feel a part of it since they did the work!  I am excited to try a bunch of different faces!  Our pumpkins have pretty much looked the same year after year because they were the easiest faces to carve.  This year we can be way more creative!  I highly recommend getting Pumpkin Punches for your family for years of fun.  Your husband will thank you as well (if he is the usual carver)!

Love to see what designs you come up with!  If you share on Instagram use #pumpkinpunches so we can see your beautiful work!

Thank you Pumpkin Punches for sending me the product to try.  All opinions here are my own.  I only share product that I truly love and personally use with my readers!

How many cats does it take to officially be a cat lady…asking for a friend 😹

Meet Kaya & Strawberry our newest foster kitties! They are only with us two weeks, but we are soaking in every minute of their cuteness. Our first round of fostering failed… hence the newest member of the family Callie, but it was the best failure ever. ❤️

Last week we snuck away for a quick girls trip to Park City and had the best time 🤍
So much quality time, lots of laughs, and memories I’ll cherish forever. It was my first trip to Utah and I absolutely loved it…the scenery, the charm, all of it. Also loved finally getting to visit @the_fox_market in person… I’ve always adored everything they do!

Duck update 🦆

If you’ve been following along in my stories, a mama duck made herself at home in the planter by our pool and laid 11 eggs. For the last month, she faithfully sat on them every day…with occasional pool dates with her duck daddy. 🤍

Last week, 9 little ducklings hatched and the whole family has now relocated somewhere new. It was such a fun thing to watch.
We will miss our little duck friends, but I will not miss all the poop 🤦🏼‍♀️.

This little nook is the entry into our primary bedroom, and it is very functional. I designed a full wall of built-ins to store extra bedding and have an easy place to tuck away throw pillows when the bed isn’t made.

When we were building, we really tried to think through how we actually live—creating a place for everything so staying organized is easy.
