Something Ryan and I try to do every day is start our day with prayer and gratitude. It is amazing how different things can look when you start the day being grateful for what you have than looking at Instagram at everything you don’t have. Can I get an Amen? When you really look around you, you start to see how truly blessed you are. I think it is even more important this time of year when we are being bombarded with wish lists, kids begging for every toy they see on TV, etc. We decided we needed to do something to help instill this discipline in our children. Hence, the Thanksgiving Prayer Jar!

Toddler Gift Guide: Over 100 Gifts for Kids Ages 1 to 5
This toddler gift guide is one of my most popular gift guides every year. Who doesn’t love to buy for children on Christmas? It is the joy of our little ones that makes the gift giving so fun on Christmas morning, isn’t it? Seeing their faces light up makes me so happy. Something we are teaching our children is to enjoy giving gifts to other children in need even more than they like to receive them. This is a hard concept for a young child, but I believe the more we practice it, the more they will learn from it and start to understand.
I decided to post this guide first so that you can go ahead and know what toys are on the “hot list” this year and go ahead and start grabbing what you need for your children, but I also want to encourage you to buy one (or more) for other children in need this year! Let’s get to it!
What I Wore Lately | October
I know many of you do not have the LiketoKnow.it app and prefer to shop through links on your computer, so I love to do outfit round-ups to make it easy for you to shop all my looks in one place at least once a month in my “What I Wore” posts! If you don’t have the app, but are interested in downloading it, it is totally free and I highly recommend it because it is the easiest way to shop all of your favorite blogger’s posts! Just download the app and search for my Instagram name (logan_can) and all of my shoppable images will be there in one place. Otherwise, you can reference my looks right here on the blog in these posts or under the “shop my Instagram” tab! Here are a few of my favorite outfits from the month of October!

Words of Affirmation for Husbands
One of my husband’s love languages is words of affirmation. I think this is a really common love language for men because words are a driving force for most of them. It can motivate, encourage, or if used in the wrong way, they can destroy. I am a huge advocate of speaking life into my people. I’ve personally seen the difference it can make in my children, friends, family and husband. Giving someone life, setting the mood for the day, these things are many times determined by our words. They are powerful, my friends. Today, since we are coming off of a wonderful family weekend, I have my guy on the brain, so here are words of affirmation for husbands:

Best New Books To Read This Fall
Over the last few weeks, I’ve been in search for the best new books to read this fall! I’m so excited about every single one of these that have recently released or will be over the next couple of weeks! These are some of my very favorite authors and I am probably most excited to read Kate Morton’s newest book that just came out last week! I got it in the mail over the weekend and am so excited to dive in as she is by far one of my favorite authors. I’ve read all of her books and they are all amazing and leave me stunned every time. She is amazing at fooling you and then fooling you again until you are so confused as to who the villain is until the end. It is truly fun and exciting to read a book by her.
Many of these are based on real people or they are spinoffs from older classics and you guys know how I love my classics! Liane Moriarty also has a book coming out in a couple of weeks that I am so excited to read. She is another favorite of mine (who wrote What Alice Forgot).
Pumpkin Patch Birthday Party
We had a long week last week. Ryan was out of town and Hampton was really sick. We spent the week in and decided to rest. We were all looking so forward to the weekend and trying to get better in time for our little nephew’s pumpkin patch birthday party! Luckily, Hamp is feeling much better now. We were able to enjoy our fun weekend with family and celebrate our sweet Waylon!
31 Things To Do This October
Hey mamas and friends, and HAPPY OCTOBER! If you are new around here, October is my absolute favorite month of the year! We celebrate our anniversary this month, my husband’s birthday, Hampton’s birthday and of course, Halloween – which I love (a very unpopular thing for a christian woman to say, but it’s true)! I do not participate in devil worshipping or anything super creepy or evil, but give me an excuse to dress up in a fun costume and get a few month’s worth of free candy and I will be there celebrating with the best of them. In honor of the first day of the best month, I thought I would kick us off with 10 things to do this October! Look at it as a challenge of fun. 😉
