It's that time of year where everything pumpkin is in: pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin spice muffins, pumpkin pie, and of course, pumpkins themselves!


With pumpkin patches opening up for business, I thought I would compile a few good ideas regarding pumpkin painting for those with young children and don't want to do the carving, or people like me, who will have an easier time with a paintbrush. Since I don't have a clue on what to do, I figured others may not as well! Here are some of my favorite pumpkin paintings!

1. Despicable Me


While I am not a big fan of minions, I really love this outside of the box idea, with the creator using the stems as the hair and for Gru's trademark, pointy nose.

2. Donuts!


Coming from a food lover, and a donut lover on top of that, I love this creative idea! I really like the cake making shows where they make a cake look like an entirely different thing, which is why I think I like this creative, outside of the box idea, too!

3. Popcorn

Another outside of the box idea with popcorn kernels glued on! I love movie theater popcorn (especially paired with all the spooky Halloween movies that come out in October), so this pumpkin is a favorite!

4. Pug-kin!

My favorite dog breed is a pug, so this pug-kin idea is so adorable and I just might have to try and recreate it myself!

5. Tsum Tsum Pumpkins

As a fan of Disney and all things cute, I absolutely love Tsum Tsum, both the game and the stuffed animals themselves! These Tsum Tsum pumpkins are so adorably similar to their stuffed, soft counterparts, also shown in the picture!

If you love painting pumpkins, Pinterest is a great place to check! And if you like carving them better, there are many stencils for all things Disney, other fandoms, and even some quotes. They definitely make these creative pumpkin ideas easier!


Have a fun-filled fall and happy crafting!

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
