Beach Bag Essentials for the Over-Prepared Mom

Hampton is starting a Mother’s Morning Out program in 3 weeks, so we are about to be thrown into all of the back-to-school hoopla for the first time. We are excited and I am feeling all of the emotions. But, first, we are going on one last summer vacation to the beach with some good friends of ours! We are beyond excited. Sophie has only been to the beach a couple of times for little day trips at my grandmother’s house, so I am excited to let her explore a little bit more. I think this is the first time we are going on an actual beach trip as a family of four, so we are thrilled to make new memories. One thing I have already been planning and packing is our beach bag. With two little ones, you can never be too prepared. I like to have all my bases covered when it comes to our beach bag essentials and be ready for every possible scenario – sunburn, sickness, irritated eyes, etc.

When It’s Too Hot To Play Outside…

Happy August, everyone! This year seems to be flying by. In just 3 short months, we will be moving into our new house and welcoming our baby boy into the world! It is hard to believe that we are so close. We have lots of exciting things happening this month. Hampton starts his preschool program, my birthday is next week, and we are going on our last summer vacation! Lots of fun to be had! This summer has been a really HOT one in Alabama. If you live in or have traveled to the deep south before, you know it is also very humid. Sweat + frizzy hair? Not a great mix. After taking the kids to the park last week, we have hardly been able to play outside. The playground equipment was too hot to play on so we weren’t able to do much and had to leave right after arriving there. This past weekend, we did a lot of cleaning and caught up on some laundry to prepare to Ryan’s travels this month. We spent most of our time inside.

FabFitFun Summer 2016 Box Review

Last week, I got all kinds of happy mail. If you follow me on Snapchat (LoganCan) you saw some sneak peeks of the goodies I received! I was most excited to get my FabFitFun Summer 2016 box! I had seen it advertised and knew it had some great goodies in it. With all of my Nordstrom Sale purchases coming in, it is easy to get caught up in the excitement of fall coming, but summer is still in full swing here in the south. We will have hot days through mid-October. In fact, we still have a beach trip planned in a few more weeks that my goodies will really come in handy for.

Four Year Blogiversary!

I can’t believe it has been four years since I started this blog! It went from “Southern, Sunflowers and Coffee Beans” to now, “Logan Can” and it has been such a blessing in many was. I’ve met so many amazing women and made some great friends through this experience. This “job” has allowed me to stay home with my babies while earning an income and giving me an awesome outlet that I believe every mom needs. Staying home with my kids is the biggest blessing by far and I can’t thank you guys enough for every comment, page view, social media share, etc. It means the world to me and I still get so excited every time I see someone has retweeted me or pinned something from my blog!

Postpartum Essentials and How to Prepare for After Birth

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #UBKForMe #CollectiveBias

As most of you know by now, we are expecting baby #3 the first week of November! As the days tick speedily by, I have started to feel the need to prepare for our new little arrival. Because we are in a weird situation this go around – living at my parents house while our home is being built (expected to be complete by November 1st) – getting ready for our little guy is a little bit more tricky. We will likely move the week he is due or immediately after I have him. So, the only way I know how to really prepare is by stocking up on the essentials. With my first baby, I was completely focused on the his nursery and other essentials that I forgot all about postpartum essentials for myself.

Zoo Day and Sunshine

This weekend was a lot of fun. We finally bought a zoo membership (something I’ve been meaning to do for a looooong time) and had a zoo day with friends. The kids loved it and I think it will be fun to take them a lot more often now that we have our annual membership. We also got to go on a date night! We are starting to get a little bit better about having those, and I don’t hate it one bit. It was so much fun. We went to our favorite restaurant and then to Target! How do we always end up there?

Favorite Nordstrom Sale Buys and Picks

Last week, I shared my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale picks and while they are still very much the same, I wanted to share what I bought (and LOVE) and a few other picks for baby, your home and more! Tomorrow is the first day that the sale is open to the public and things are selling out FAST. After all, this is the most wonderful sale of the year. AmIright? After reading 1,000 other blog posts this past week on other women’s/blogger’s favorite picks and buys, I think it’s safe to say I’m not the only one giddy over this. So, here are my favorite purchases from the Nordstrom sale. And yes, there were way too many.

Second Trimester Must Haves

It’s really hard to believe that I am closer to the third trimester with my third baby. Some days, I still feel like I am getting over the shock of being pregnant again, and others I find myself dreaming of our little guys face and wishing time would speed up so I can finally meet him and yes, not be pregnant anymore. While I loved being pregnant my first and second time around, this one has been very different and a lot harder on my body. #3in3years Probably has something to do with that. ;/… So, now that I’m feeling like I’m a seasoned pro, here are some of my must haves for the second trimester!

Sunshine and Baby Bump

I think it is safe to say my baby bump has POPPED over the last couple of weeks. I definitely feel like I look 30 weeks pregnant rather than 24. As my stomach is rapidly growing, I have had to start pulling out my loose fitting tops and have busted out my maternity jeans. I remember with Hamp, I fought maternity everything, but when I gave in, it was the best decision I ever made. I love my maternity jeans. Over the next few weeks, I am going to share a few of my favorite fashions and stores to shop while pregnant. It can be so hard and frustrating watching your body change so much and gaining so much weight in a very short amount of time. I still think it is important to get up and get dressed because it makes you feel so much better. So, bare with me as I share my growing baby bump (and bootay).

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Access Picks #NSALE

It’s here! The most anticipated sale of the year – Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, that is. This is bigger than Christmas, folks! At least, it is for me! If you aren’t familiar with the sale, Nordstrom puts their brand new fall items on super-sale for two weeks (three if you are a cardholder). It is a great time to rack up on name brand items and fall staples! Ryan gave me my (early) birthday gift in the form of money for my birthday this year, just so I could spend a little extra at the sale. Did anyone else stay up way too late to shop? I had a little too much fun! So, without further ado, here are some of my absolute favorite sales. (Can I have one of each, please?)

While I’m going to wait and share my purchases once they come in, I will spoil one surprise and say that I FINALLY snagged these boots in oatmeal. This color was exclusive only at Nordstrom last year, and every time it came back in my size, they would sell out faster than I could buy them. It was depressing. When I saw them in the catalog, I knew that would be my priority purchase this year, and I got them!!

Today is the first day of the early access sale (for lucky cardholders) and the sale opens to the public on July 22nd! So, if you are not a cardholder, you can start making your lists to help you shop the best deals before they sell out.
