Fall Pumpkin Playdate Party: from Setup to Cleanup

This post was sponsored by WaterWipes as part of an Ambassador Program for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review.

While many of you are out there celebrating the arrival of pumpkin lattes and cardigan weather, I am still mourning the passing of summer.  My happy place is in a pool or on a beach, margarita (or ice-cold beer) in hand.   I appreciate the seasons; I just wish summer lated longer.

I’m trying to get in the mood though, and have started browsing Pinterest and collecting some fall decor to convince my inner-autumnal grinch to embrace change.

At times like these, I’ve always found that the best way to overcome my lack of enthusiasm is to put on a happy face.  Show the kids what there is to be excited about.  Have a Pumpkin Playdate Party.

It’s time to gather up some pumpkins.  Bust out the paint and carving tools.  Make some caramel apples.  Make a mess.  Get our FALL on.  Oh, and make sure we have the cleaning supplies to make me not regret the party in the first place! 😉

The set up is simple.

The caramel apples?  Heaven.

The smiles?  Contagious.

The clean up?  Not so bad.  Thanks to WaterWipes, I am able to clean everything from kids to sink basins, and everything in between.  WaterWipes, a chemical free baby wipe that contains only two ingredients, 99.9% pure Irish water and 0.1% grapefruit seed extract, is gentle on even the most sensitive skin.

Both durable and effective without containing any of the harmful chemicals that may be found in other baby wipes, WaterWipes proves a safer, natural option for your little one… and your home.

Do you have any fall playdates in mind?  Embrace messy fun this season with WaterWipes!  C
