Friday Favorites #1

 Hi Foxy Friends! Blogging 3 times in one week? Who am I?! Anyway, thought since I started this blog way back when to document the kids, I would start back up with my Friday Favorites. Things that we're doing, or loving this week. So here we go.

A couple of Sundays ago we went to the beach to watch the sunset. We never do this, but thought, what the heck. It was so pretty, nice just to sit and do nothing but watch the kids play and watch the sunset.







Can I tell you how long it took to get this picture when you ask your 10 year old and 7 year old to do it? 50 pictures later...haha!





And what's going to the beach if you don't get a good jump shot? Girl is finally learning to get the best jump shots, now to work on boy.




This guy got his expander in on Monday and it taking it pretty well. Considering his favorite foods have been cut out of his diet for the next 18 months. He's the one that has remembered to turn the key the past 4 days. So proud of him.




Let me get this out there, Mr. and I don't do much for Valentine's Day in general. We've been together for 17 Valentine's Days...or is it 18? Hmmm...anyway, I went for a walk with a friend, and on my way home, I decided last minute to get Mr. his favorite breakfast burrito. So I walked in with his breakfast burrito and saw this...my favorite chocolate covered pretzels. If you haven't had them, they are the Chocolate Covered Pretzel Thins from Trader Joe's.


So basically, Mr. and I gave each other food for Valentine's Day. haha.




Continuing the food trend, found this gem at Costco, and it's delicious. Give it a try, yes it's Costco size and took us a while to get through it...but worth every calorie.

I've been wearing a lot of nail polish lately, and a friend told me about a mineral nail polish remover that you could use to take off your nail polish, so I decided to give this a try. Low and behold it totally works! I use it with nail clips, because I typically do Color Street Glitter nails and we all know how hard it is to get glitter off, and this stuff works. I cut these up into strips, then get the pad wet and use the nail clip and wait a few minutes, rub off and it's done! Little cleaning up to do, but so much easier on the nails and skin than using acetone.


These are all Color Street nail strips, and I love them. I might have way too many and keep buying more, oops! These are the recent ones I've done in the new year. I typically will wear one set for 2 weeks, then off for a week or so (mostly because I don't make the time to put them back on).

I was going to put some sort of glitter on top of this black color, but just loved the black that I kept it. I might put on some glitter to extend the life of this set in a few days.

If you want to get some nails of your own, contact my girl Joanne, she's awesome and constantly doing giveaways on her FB page! Right now they just released this gem stone set and you better believe I picked up one of each.


Okay I think that's it. This weekend, Baby Fox has baseball try outs, fingers crossed he gets picked up by a team. Yep it's like a draft over where we live, it's ridiculous, but it is what it is.

Best Kids Bathing Suits - BOGO!

Hi Foxy Friends! While a lot of you are still knee deep in snow this is the time of year that Target puts out their buy one get one 50%! There isn't a better deal out there and once it's gone it usually doesn't come back! Don't worry I've collected some pretty great options for you, but if you don't like any of these, there's still 100's of others on the site. So let's get to some kids bathing suits.

I typically gets these for the kids Easter Basket because let's face it last years suits are not going to be fitting them this summer. These kids are growing like weeds.

I am for sure going to get Mini Fox #3, I mean ruffles and stripes? What could be better? Nothing, that's what.

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 

All of these rash guards are super cute. Mini Fox isn't much for rash guards, only when she's old, but might need to pick up #3 or #4 for her.


1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 

I love that these come in sets, with a matching swim suit and rash guard, so cute. Mini Fox is going to love #2 or #4, I'm thinking the brighter color, easier to spot her in the ocean or the pool.


1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6

How cute is the mermaid tail swim cover up? She would die if I got that for her. But we got #1 sort of recently and it still fits, so don't think we'll be getting any swim cover ups this year...maybe. We'll see.


1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 

Baby Fox is in much need for some new swim trunks. He's growing like a weed. I really like buying him bright colored swim trunks, easy to spot him in the ocean and pool, so I'll probably get him #4 or #5, good thing his favorite color is orange. I do however really like #1, so might need to throw that in there for good measure.


1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10

Of course hands down going to get him #4. He loves orange and I can see him. Done. 


1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6

Keep an eye out, the BOGO for Women and Men is coming soon, I would suspect in the next couple of weeks. Maybe even next week. So I'll be bringing you my favorite suits again. These are my favorite types of posts to put together. So get to buying those swim suits for the kids!

What's Up Wednesday: February

Hi Foxy Friends! Today I'm linking up with Shay and Sheaffer for What's Up Wednesday, where we share what's going on with us. So let's get to it:


1. What We're Eating This Week (more like what we've been eating lately)

Mini Fox's favorite breakfast, eggs in a hole, which I shaped like a heart.


We had lobster for Valentine's Day, it was delicious.


I've also gotten into making homemade bread, like everyone else during quarantine. I probably make 2-3 loaves a week for friends and family.



2. What I'm Reminiscing About

Our last trip we took was a year ago. We went to visit our friends in Canada and met up with some other friends and it was wonderful and I miss seeing their faces. We use to travel to see each other a couple of times a year, so going a full year without hugging them is hard.








3. What I'm Loving

These leggings. I have several pair and they are all comfy and hold everything in, the ones below you can find here.


4. What We've Been Up To

This kid got his expander yesterday, so we've been dealing with trying to figure out how to eat...any tips for us? It took him an hour and a half to eat dinner. Poor guy.


5. What I'm Dreading

Not much right now, I was dreading Baby Fox's expander, but it went in with no problems.

6.  What I'm Working On

Maybe opening and Etsy store? I keep making things to put in it, taking all the pictures, but have yet to do it...I just need to do it already!



7. What I'm Excited About

We just booked a trip to Maui for July! Really hoping it works out and we can go!

8. What I'm Watching/Reading

Firefly Lane, so good, on episode 6 and need to know who the funeral is for!

Also just started reading The Summer I Turned Pretty, although I have only read a few pages.

9. What I'm Listening To

Currently Mini Fox singing herself to sleep.

10. What I'm Wearing

I'm obsessed with this jacket. I might have bought it in a berry color too.


11. What I'm Doing This Weekend

Baby Fox has baseball tryouts, hoping that we an actually have a season this year, fingers crossed, good sign that we have try outs this weekend. And Mini Fox has her horseback riding lessons.


 
12.  What I'm Looking Forward To Next Month 

Mr's birthday, which also happens to be when the world shut down, so one year of quarantine...yikes, that is crazy to think about. So guess I'm not looking forward to that part, but this will be two birthdays in quarantine for him.

13. What Else Is New

Hmmm....I recently cut Mr's hair... and it didn't turn out horrible.




So what have you all been up to. I'm going to start blogging more, I loved that this was a way to document life, and I've really fell off of that, so here's to new beginnings and me starting to blog once again...I can do this! Although I've said that in the past...I'm serious this time...really!
