When author Amy Latta first came up with the idea of using a pumpkin as a place to write down things her family was grateful for, she didn't have a blog. She was just looking for a way to teach her son Noah, then 3, about Thanksgiving without getting 'caught up in the craziness of the holidays.
'Literally anyone can do it, and I was excited to think about other families taking time to focus on gratitude.' In the years since she first posted the Thankful Pumpkin on her blog, Latta has heard from families across the country — and even the world — telling her how much they have enjoyed incorporating it into their annual holiday traditions. 'My favorite thing is when people send photos of the pumpkins they created, filled with all kinds of wonderful things!' she said.
