Hello October! Daily Happies from Father Ernie + October Wishlist

Happy October! I’m so excited for this day because October is my favorite month. First, it’s my birthday month!! I also love that it finally starts to feel like Fall, all the spooky Halloween fun and this year in particular it’s the month of our annual European vacation. Kicking off October, I wanted to share an answer to one of my most popular FAQs.

Monday-Friday, I get a text from my Grandparent’s priest. It’s a mass text you can sign up for and it is seriously the highlight of my day. It somehow is always perfect for whatever situation is happening and it makes me day to receive them! I sometimes post them on my Instagram stories and get so many questions about how to sign up. Since my Grandparents are so old, they couldn’t even remember how they got signed up and I can’t remember either! I finally remembered a sweet family friend told me how and she sent me the info to share with all of you.

It is a Catholic priest, but I feel the message relates to almost any denomination. If you have any questions, drop them below and I’ll be sure to answer them asap.

to sign up: text ‘STANNBARTLETT’ to the number ‘84576’ 

In the spirit of October, here’s a few of my favorite posts from October past:

• White Chicken Chili (my family’s famous recipe)
• Halloween Party Fun (Food & Decor Galore!)
• Easy & Delicious Fall Sangria! 
• More Halloween Faves over on My Pinterest 

And my October Wishlist: 

If you sign up for his text, you’ll have to keep me in the loop with what are your favorites! Here’s a few of mine:

“Note to Self: Sometimes the reason good things are not happening to you is because you ARE the good thing that needs to happen to other people.”

“Life is 10% what happens to us & 90% how we respond”

“Every tie you think you’re being rejected, God’s actually redirecting you to something better. Ask Him to give you the strength to press onward.”

What’s your favorite part of October? Thanks for popping in! XO
