Could there be anything better than being covered in prayer each night? I am so incredibly blessed because each night my children are LITERALLY wrapped up in prayers...many of them that came from y'all. My dear sister made me one of the most creative and most-cherished gifts I have ever received for my baby shower last year.
She made me these beautiful prayer blankets. 
So what is a prayer blanket?? It is basically a regular blanket (as you can see, Sarah chose a darling pattern for one side, and a super soft fabric for the other). She then contacted close family and friends and asked them for bible verses, prayers, and blessings that they would be praying over my children. From there, she wrote these responses on a plain white sheet. She then had my sweet momma (the seamstress!) sew the three pieces together- with that prayer sheet in the middle. And now, when I cover my children each night, they are actually wrapped up in the blessings and prayers of those who love them-- how cool is that??!!

While I have used these blankets several times over the past year for nursing, rocking my babes, etc., I was excited about the chilly Fall air approaching so I could start to use these meaningful blankets each night.
My sweet boy wrapped in prayers
Precious Emma Kate covered in her blanket...and for you mommas that are concerned, yes I did notice that the bear is in front of her face- she LOVES to rub that stuffed animal against her face and don't worry... I quickly moved it :)
