Hello! Welcome to Hello, Pumpkin! I'm so happy you found your way here. I’m Katie (or Kate) and I’m mama to Luke and Penelope (Penny). I’m married to my best friend, Scott.  In my former (pre-kid) life, I was a first grade teacher and certified reading specialist. I started Hello, Pumpkin as a way to share what I find to be the best baby and kids products, toys and books. I hope you enjoy and find something you like!
