Well unless you’ve been living under a rock then you’ve probably heard about our blogger meet up in Nashville a few weeks ago. We covered a lot of ground while we were there and took a lot of pictures. After all, we are bloggers and that’s kinda what we do. Right?
Being fall and all, let me share one of my favorite memories from when our kids were little. We loved taking them to the pumpkin patch and frequently we’d do it with friends. We’d load up and go to the Ashland Berry Farm where there was a hayride that took us out to the field to pick our own pumpkins. You could get all the pumpkins you could carry for one low price. I think it was like $15. #bargain There was the catch though, you had to be able to take 3 steps while holding all of them and not dropping any. We’d load Kent’s arms, and balancing pumpkins, he’d stagger forward for 3 quick steps. Voila, we left with a bunch of pumpkins and fun memories. Now I’m totally laughing because I went to look for a picture of him (and found it) but also found one of me…the over achiever holding a couple of pretty big pumpkins and making an awful face. ?
Now for some more flattering pictures.
Speaking of fun memories, the day we were shopping on 12 South we spotted a pumpkin patch and talk about beautiful varieties of pumpkins, the Nashville Pumpkin Company had them.We immediately knew we had to come back for pictures with our new tees. You see, we’d all brought little gifts to share with each other, but our sweet Andrea who is by far the queen of gifts had given us matching tees. I think gift giving is definitely her love language.
As luck would have it, The Blended Blog already had a graphic tee prompt scheduled so you can probably imagine what happened next. Bloggers take over said pumpkin patch and take all the pictures. We were lucky Shelly had her good camera with her and took some awesome pictures for us.
Not only were there the most beautiful pumpkins at this patch, but there was an old truck. Old trucks make my heart go pitter patter. I don’t know what there is about them, but I just love them. I think they make the best backdrop for photographs. We even got lucky and found one for some of Katie’s senior pictures.
Like mother, like daughter. I didn’t even realize how similar these were until I just loaded them into this post.
A lot of y’all probably have quite a collection of graphic tees, but this t-shirt snob I only had one, my weekend vibes tee. I’ve now doubled my collection thanks to Andrea!?
Our new tees say ‘flannels, leggings & pumpkin spice’. Pretty much all things fall wrapped up in 5 little words.
Andrea ordered these from an Etsy shop called Bash, of course it was called Bash, we had given our getaway a hashtag. #nashbash Etsy is the perfect place to find an abundance of graphic tee goodness. Something for everyone including you. You’re in luck because she contacted the shop owner and asked if we could get a discount code for our readers, and guess what? She did! Use the code PUMPKIN for 20% off your purchase between now and Sunday. They have a huge selection of graphic tees, so you’re sure to find something that will ‘fit you to a tee’.?
Just check us out in our cute tees. We asked the guy running the pumpkin stand to take our picture a few times and he was a good sport, especially since we were just using him for his pumpkins. HA! I mean it’s not like we could carry them home on the plane. Although trust me, I sure wanted to. The pumpkin game where I live is weak compared to Nashville.
I ask you, who doesn’t like a good put your head in the cut out prop? We sure did.

Lisa Richardson says
Thanks Chrissy. We had some good times going to that pumpkin patch. We also have some great memories from our grown up trip to the pumpkin patch too. So much fun!!
Living on Cloud Nine says
My beautiful pumpkin angel! Oh my stars, the mother daughter truck poses…beyond perfect! This is the greatest post and the holding all the pumpkins pictures…priceless. As were all our memories made together. I keep saying it but this trip was magic with so much special and sweet sprinkled in! Adore you! xoxo

Our memories from Nashville and pumpkintastic. You know how I love to make up words. LOL. You were the brains behind this whole thing and I can’t thank you enough. XOXO
Heather Bramlett says
Love the graphic tee! Just perfect for Fall!

Thanks Heather. I need to remember to pull it out and wear it again. XO
Vanessa Roberts says
Just the cutest tees and pictures of you ladies! And now I think I need to order a few more tees ?
Lisa Richardson says
Thanks Vanessa! We had a ball and Andrea is the smartest!!!
Laura says
Oh, wow! Loved all your pumpkin memories, Lisa! Especially the mother daughter pics with the truck! We had so much fun that day! I think that was the day that it rained that morning and then turned in to such a great afternoon. It was still hot, but so much fun!!
Lisa Richardson says
We did have so much fun and having all those pics sure made this post so easy. I loved that. I wish I’d had the photographer snap a few pics of me and Katie together that day. UGH…hindsight. XO
Kim Taylor says
y’all are seriously so cute! Love the graphic tee’s! and I love all the pumpkin pics!
Lisa Richardson says
Thanks Kim!!! That Andrea is the best!!! Happy Monday! XO
Kellyann says
Gosh I don’t even know where to begin. I love the memories you shared from when your kids were little. What a great deal picking your own pumpkins and getting as many as you could carry for one low price. It’s too hot here to have any type of cute pumpkin patches. I’m pretty sure my boys have no memories of picking pumpkins from anywhere but Michael’s craft store! Ha!
We had such a great time and the memories are just the best. Reminds me of how blessed we are to have these fabulous ladies in our lives!
BTW, Katie’s senior picture? Holy cow, what a beauty!
xo,
Kellyann
Lisa Richardson says
I’m sure your boys memories of pumpkin picking at Michaels are near and dear to their hearts. wink, wink Katie’s sr pics were beautiful. We loved them! Thanks friend. XO
Carrie @ Curly Crafty Mom says
You ladies look so gorg in these tees and I love the color and phrase on them. I really like seeing how each one of you styled the tee, too!! We went to the pumpkin patch last weekend and it was SOOO cold!! I didn’t take as many photos as I would have normally taken. Ha! Oh well! I am sure my family was happy, tho! 😉

Aw, Thanks Carrie! Yuck to it being cold at the pumpkin patch. That makes it hard to enjoy.
Laura says
You are all so cute in your graphic tees! I love the relaxed fit and color of it!
Lisa Richardson says
They are a nice relaxed fit and I love the color too. Thanks, Laura!
Shelly @ The Queen in Between says
I just love how all these pictures turned out! You just can’t beat a pumpkin patch and great lighting!! And that picture of you balancing all the pumpkins is hilarious!
Lisa Richardson says
We had such a good photographer. 😉 XOXO
Brooke says
I just love the throwback pictures!! They made me smile 😀 – I also love y’alls graphic tee, so so cute! Glad you ladies had so much fun.

Lisa Richardson says
Thanks Brooke. I love knowing you get to do the same things with your kids that I did. So fun.
Mother of 3 says
So… is it weird that I don’t have one single graphic tee at all?! Such cute photos and I absolutely love the throwback of you trying to carry all those pumpkins. So much fun.
Lisa Richardson says
Nope, I don’t find that weird at all. They aren’t for everyone and I’ve only got a few. I do have my eye on one at ON for Christmas. I’m really not a big tee wearer. 🙂
Lauren Koepf Sparks says
Why do so many cute fall shirts have pumpkin spice on them? Yuck. ha. Cute pumpkin patch pics, though. laurensparks.net
Lisa Richardson says
LOL! You made me chuckle. You know, I like one or two PSL’s per year and love pumpkin bread and such, but I do feel kinda like a fraud singing the praises of pumpkin spice…guess that’s why I don’t too much. I’m not head over heels, but I’m not against it either. Have a great week!!! XO
Passport Couture says
I enjoyed reading the story behind your tees. I also admired the photos you had from the past! Always fun to stumble on those and revisit them from time to time.
