Pumpkins, good food, shopping, and a car show? Sounds like a Saturday worth getting out of the house for! 🎃🍂

The Pennville Pumpkin Festival is happening TODAY! Check out the vendors, admire the cars, and bring your appetite! Ryzones, Two Mamas On Tap, Rollin Creations, Twice the Spice, and Scoop Station are there, along with other vendors to check out! 😋🛍️🚗

And keep those dinner plans open—there’s a hog roast tonight from 4–7 PM! Because a Saturday where you don’t have to cook is already a win. 🤷‍♀️🤣

Grab your people, throw on a hoodie, and go show this small-town festival and its vendors some love! 🧡

A farm store with goodies, farm animals, cute fall decorations AND the sweetest little helpers? Yes, please! 🐓🍂🎃

Three Chicks Farm is such a fun place to check out, and one of my favorite parts is when the little “three chicks” come out to help deliver the groceries you purchased to your vehicle. 🥹🧡 That personal touch makes the visit even sweeter!

I love getting to see the farm animals, checking out what’s in the store, and seeing how she has everything decorated for fall. Fair warning: I might come for eggs and leave with a few extra goodies. 🤷‍♀️🤣

Go show this sweet family some love and see what you find! 🛍️🐮

A quick soap drop-off to Rose turned into a little treat for me… because how am I supposed to stop at Sip-N-Groove and NOT get a drink?! 🤷‍♀️🤣🩵

I tried one of their Halloween specials—I THINK it was called Witchy Skittles—and added creatine to keep the gym gremlin satisfied. A little spooky season with a side of lifting things. 🧙‍♀️🌈💪👹

If you haven’t checked out Sip-N-Groove in Portland yet, here’s your sign! Go see Rose, find a new favorite, and show a small business some love. Supporting local can be as simple as stopping for a drink! 🫶

What’s your go-to order? Drop it below so I have something new to try next time! 👇

Last weekend we took the kids to Lincoln Ridge Farms, and since we went last year too… I’m officially calling it a tradition. We’re making it one, okay? 😂🎃

It’s such a fun place to spend the day together! There’s something for the little kids, the big kids, and the overgrown children who supposedly came to “watch the kids.” 👀🤣

So many opportunities for pictures and making memories—and you can grab pumpkins, apple c***r, kettle corn, and mums while you’re there! 🍎🍿🌼

The kids won’t stay little forever, so I’m soaking up these days while I can. A little fall fun, lots of laughs, and another memory to add to our tradition. 🧡

Apparently our sweet tooth gets a vote in where we go… and it voted for Birt’s Candy Store! 😂🍬

Come check it out with us, because supporting small businesses is even sweeter when candy is involved! Fair warning: your inner child might take over and your self-control might stay in the car. 😅🍭

Have you been to Birt’s? Tell us your must-grab candy so we know what to look for next time! 👇

If you can braid hair, just know… once I find out, it’s GAME OVER. 😂🤷‍♀️

I love having my hair braided, and I have absolutely asked people to braid it while we’re out in public. No shame in my braid game. 😅

Friday night at the Jay County football game, I put Rachelle’s skills to work! Football for everyone else, a little hair appointment in the stands for me. 🏈🤣

If you love a good braid like I do, check out Rachelle at Shear Inspirations Beauty Lounge! She can do some amazing things, and braids are only part of what she offers. Check out her other services, too—even massages! 💆‍♀️✨

Go give their page some love, explore the services, and make some time to get pampered! 🫶

And Rachelle already knows she’s not safe… if I’m around, there’s always a chance she’s hearing, “Will you braid my hair?” 😂

🍋 Sam Approved: Worth the Hype! 🍋

Fall festivals are winding down, and you know what that means… those summer goodies are getting harder to find! So consider this your sign to grab a lemon shake-up before the lemons leave the chat. 😂🍂

I made the drive to the Ridgeville Fall Festival for Leo’s Lemonade because, in my opinion, theirs is the BEST! I hadn’t had one all year, and there was no way I was letting the season end like that. 💛

And here’s another reason to support them: one of the owners is working toward a down payment on a home for her and her family. Your purchase helps support a real person with a real dream. That makes every sip a little sweeter! 🏡❤️

Got nothing going on today? Go check it out! Leo’s will be there until 7 PM—or until the lemons are gone! Grab your lemonade, stroll through the fall festival, and show the other vendors some love too. 🛍️🍋

Small businesses. Big dreams. Definitely worth the hype. 🙌

If you haven’t made it out to Three Chicks Farm yet… consider this your sign! 👀🐓

Start your Saturday with a little farm store shopping and a whole lot of that “right at home” feeling. ❤️ There’s something special about knowing where your food comes from, knowing the people behind it, and feeling good about trusting the farmer you’re buying from.

You already know I love grabbing my eggs and their farm-raised beef! But the welcoming vibe? That’s part of what keeps me coming back. 🥚🥩

So grab your coffee, take the drive, and show this local farm some love. Your Saturday errands deserve a stop that’s Sam Approved: Worth the Hype! 🙌😉
