Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale

December 30, 2015

It’s no secret that Nordstrom is my favorite place to shop online. They aren’t exactly affordable, but I love to shop their sales because you can find some great deals on name brand clothes and accessories you couldn’t normally buy. They are having their Half -Yearly sale right now through January 3rd! I got a couple of great deals and here are some of my favorites:

necklace // tote // Hunter boots // Kate Spade backpack // lipstick // leggings (one of my favorites!) // sleep shorts // shift dress // beanie // knit sweater

Do you like to shop the after season sales?

Literary Junkies (December)

December 29, 2015

I have loved being a part of the Literary Junkies Book Club since it’s beginning a couple of years ago. It is so much fun to get together with other women to discuss a favorite hobby! We have read some amazing books I never would have read otherwise thanks to them! I am excited to link up with them today for our monthly book chat!

1. What are you reading right now? Tell us about it.

– I am reading Christmas at Rosie Hopkins’ Sweetshop. It is the one I started the day before Christmas and I haven’t quite finished it. I’m hoping to complete it in another day or two. It is a cute story, but definitely not as good of a sequel as I would have hoped for.

2. What were your favorite reads of 2015?

– I loved The Lake House by Kate Morton. It was by far my favorite! I also enjoyed Ladies’ Night by Mary Kay Andrews.

3. What was your book-read total for 2015? Did you make your goal for the year?

I’m embarrassed to say – 11 books. My goal was only 20. I normally read a lot more than that, but it was not in the cards for me this year.

4. How many books would you like to read in 2016?

– I guess I will give 20 a go again! I would really like to read more than that because there are so many I need to catch up on and several new books coming out this year that I would like to read.

5. What is the number one book sitting on your Must Read list right now?

I’m not really sure about this one. I have a couple sitting on my shelf, but I am most excited to read the new Emily Giffin book releasing in June! Any suggestions for me?

Christmas 2015

December 28, 2015

This year, Christmas was very different for us, but it was very special. SR’s first Christmas was perfect. We were surrounded by loved ones and had so many exciting things happen. Maybe it was the magic of Christmas?

My precious little niece took her first steps to SR on Christmas Eve and almost brought me to tears. It was so sweet. On Christmas day, SR pulled up for the first time on my dad and then did it two more times that afternoon…we can’t get her to stop, now. Now for the real magic? SR also slept through the night for the first time since she was 2 months old. It was amazing. Ryan and I have forgotten what it was like to get a full night of sleep. It was amazing. We were very blessed this year with lots of family and delicious food and I couldn’t ask for more!

We woke up Christmas morning at my parent’s house and opened presents from Santa then ate a big breakfast and opened presents from my parents. After that we watched Christmas movies all day and played dominoes. I colored in my new coloring book (adult one, of course) and it was perfect.

How was your Christmas? Did you do anything special this year?

New Years Eve Outfit Picks

December 24, 2015

Merry Christmas Eve! I just wanted to pop in for a minute and wish you all a very Merry Christmas! Thank you so much for reading Logan Can this year! Because of you, I have been able to turn my favorite hobby into an (almost) full time income while staying home with my kids and that has been huge for my family. It is the biggest blessing and I can’t wait to see what God has in store for us and this blog in 2016! With that being said, we are only 1 week away from New Years Eve! I have picked out a few of my NYE outfit favorites and linked them below:

Glitter Pumps // Sequin Dress // nail polish // kate spade watch // leggings // tank // ombre dress // earrings // necklace // bag

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas spent with family and loved ones. I will see you back here next week!

It’s the Holiday Season

December 23, 2015

I can’t believe tomorrow is Christmas Eve! The holiday season is upon us and we have a fun day planned starting off with Christmas with my in-laws and then going to see Christmas lights with my little sister! After that, we will be getting the kids in bed so that Santa can come visit them and put certain things together under the tree! 😉

Coat: c/o She In // Booties (Sold Out similar here) // Bag (similar) // Top // Leggings

It has felt very wintery the last few days…until today. It has been warm and rainy. I am super bummed because it is supposed to be around 80 degrees on Christmas Day. I guess that means no fire in the fireplace for us this year, but that happens more often than you know here in Alabama. I am so looking forward to the festivities over the next few days! I can’t wait to see the look on my children’s faces when they see what Santa brought them, and I can’t wait to see what God has in store for us in the new year! We are so blessed and continue to find joy and peace in Christ every day. What more can you ask for than that?

This week, my best friend had her baby girl and my cousin found out the gender of her twins! They are boy/girl wins! I can’t wait to meet these precious babies! I am so thankful for these huge gifts this holiday season.

What are you thankful for this holiday season? Do you have big plans tomorrow?

Mad for Plaid Christmas Party

December 21, 2015

This weekend was filled with so many fun-filled Christmas memories. Saturday we decorated and threw our big annual Christmas party for our big (and still growing) family. It was so much fun seeing everyone and getting all of the cousins together. This year’s theme was “Mad for Plaid”and we all wore some form of plaid! We ate great food, watched football and enjoyed some much-needed family time.

Sunday we went to church and heard a wonderful Christmas message that really encouraged and inspired us. I saw my best friend who is having her baby tomorrow and go all caught up with her and we had so much fun talking baby!

Tonight we finally find out the gender of my cousin’s twins and we are so thrilled we can’t hardly stand it! My guess is that she is having one boy and one girl, but we will find out soon! This year, we have so much to be thankful for. It is always an encouragement to me when I see families who are struggling and are still so positive or friends who are very ill remaining faithful and content in their time of need or trials. It makes me realize that we are so blessed and have every reason to be praising God in this season. I hope that no matter what you are going through, or if your life is actually going very well right now, to remember the reason we celebrate Christmas, spread the good and bless someone this holiday season. Even if it is just with a little smile. You have no idea what a smile can do to brighten a person’s day. 🙂

Have you attended any holiday parties this year?

Things are Getting Christmas-y

December 18, 2015

While it’s no secret that things have been a little crazy over here since our move, we are getting very Christmas-y over here! Presents and officially started being wrapped, I’m 2 small gifts away from being through with my Christmas shopping (I hope), and we have been baking up a storm these last two weeks! I even took the kids to see Santa yesterday! Finally!

Why is Hamp not pictured you ask? Well, this Santa (or should I say “Ho Ho”?) loving boy was so excited to wear his special Christmas outfit, and cowboy boots to meet the big man himself! He talked about it the whole way to Bass Pro and he was giggling while we waited in line. When it was our turn to sit in Santa’s lap, one of us freaked out and started screaming and crying. I’m not pointing fingers at anyone but…

SR loved Santa! He held her for a long time. She stared at him and grabbed his beard a few times (bless him) and he just giggled and giggled. Santa told us all about his 10 month old granddaughter and how much SR reminded him of her. Who knew Santa had grandchildren? Not I!

Hamp did get really excited to take his picture with the snowman. I love how cute Bass Pro shop always sets up their “North Pole” for the kids. It is seriously adorable. We like to go there for Santa because they give you a free picture and allow you to take your own. I love that!

Hamp and SR helped me hang their new ornaments for this year (from Pottery Barn Kids) and it was pretty precious. Tonight we are getting ready for our family’s big Christmas party happening tomorrow! As always, I’ll be sure to Snapchat the event, so follow me (logancan)! Have a great weekend and I hope you get all of your shopping done!

Do you have any holiday events this weekend?

Holiday Gift Guide: Baby’s First Christmas

December 17, 2015

This is SR’s first Christmas. I learned with my son that the first year is full of exciting firsts. First tooth, first foods, first steps, first holidays. It is all so exciting and we all swoon over every little accomplishment. This year, things are very different for us because we are living at my parent’s house, but I want to make sure that we still do all of the special things with SR that we did with H so, I did what I do best and made a checklist!

-Get baby’s picture made with Santa

-Buy baby a special gift

-Buy her first Christmas ornament

-Buy baby a Christmas outfit

-Buy her some “My first Christmas” gear (We received this adorable bib c/o from Sew Cute In Carolina on Etsy)

-Pick out cute Christmas PJ’s

-Read her Twas’ the Night Before Christmas

-Bundle her up and take her to play in the snow (if you’re lucky enough to have any)

Here are a few items I love for Baby’s first Christmas:

Bib // Ornament // Crochet Santa Set // Christmas Bow // Onesie // Pacifier

What would you add to your baby’s first Christmas checklist?

A Merry Christmas in Tulle

December 16, 2015

Merry Tops: Sweet Sprouts // Tulle Skirts: c/o My Fab Boutique // Heels: Sole Society // SR’s shoes: My baby shoes

Guys, I’ve been wanting a tulle skirt for…ever? Blame it on my ballet background, but I’ve always had a fascination with tulle and all things fluffy, feminine and elegant. When I found My Fab Boutique’s skirts on Etsy and saw that they also made them in baby sizes, I died. I love matching SR! It is so much fun and so sweet to me! I feel like she is already a little mini me and I am having way too much fun dressing her. She is definitely turning into quite the little diva, but a really sweet little diva. She is an angel baby! Despite her throwing up every 5 seconds and having every reason in the world to be upset and fussy, she is still always smiling and that is the biggest encouragement to me.

This is SR’s first Christmas! I have been trying to make this the most special Christmas for my kids despite not being in our own house. We are finally getting settled in at my parent’s and having so much fun. The kids are absolutely loving being with their cousins and they are all playing and getting along so well together. You never know with a two and three year old how they will do from day to day, but it has been surprisingly easy and they have done great!

This weekend is our big family Christmas party and this year’s theme is – A Plaid Christmas – which is right up my alley! You guys know how much I LOVE plaid! Hince our “Merry” tops! I can’t wait to see everyone! Also, we are less than a week away from finding out the gender of my cousin’s twins, so I am beyond excited about that! I’m ready to start shopping for those little nuggets!

Matching with SR in tulle was so much fun and I know we will get a lot of wear out of these fun skirts! Despite the wind the other day, we had a lot of fun twirling on the golf course behind my parent’s house and I mean, who can resist a baby in tulle? Not me!

Do you like to match your kiddos? Are you attending any holiday parties this weekend?
