Friday Favorites #8

Happy Friday Foxy Friends! Today is my day off and the kids have only at home work because they're going back to school full time next week! So they had to take today to change the classrooms over to accommodate all of the kids. So excited, I'm taking the kids to lunch and to some flower fields to hopefully get some amazing pictures. This was the last time we went.


Okay onto my favorites of the week.


I'm joining the ladies again from #StyledAcrossTheStates for another week, this week we're styling dresses. During the summer I pretty much live in dresses, they are just so easy, not constricting and keeps you cool. This is my newest one that I got from my Sweetly Striped. I know I keep talking about Jessica's shop, but I just can't help but buy everything! I swear I get nothing from promoting her, I just really love her shop!

This dress is just too cute. I do have to get it altered a bit in the straps, and looking at these pictures, I think I'm going to get the hem taken up a bit. With short legs I'm constantly getting things altered.


Dress / Shoes (similar)/ Jacket (Similar) / Earrings (got them from here, they are no longer available but have other great options) / Bracelets (Sweetly Striped...again) / Necklace (Sweetly Striped, are we surprised at this point?)


I've been all about the dainty necklaces lately, this one fits the bill perfectly.


The easiest way to pull a look together is a jean jacket. Old Navy has some great options. I like having longer ones and cropped ones depending on your outfit.


You can't tell from above, but I just love the mini striped detail on this dress.




Today is my Dad's birthday! He's turning 75! I couldn't imagine a better Grandpa for my kids, he is constantly picking them up from school and taking them for French fries (Pre Covid), hopefully that starts up again soon! Goes to all the games and sometimes practices too.



Things happening around our house lately. Mr. and I got a new mattress. We decided to try and mattress in a box. I'll let you know how we like it. Our first night was Thursday night, so I'll let you know.


We had Indian food the other night and forgot how much we loved it. But it was quite pricey, so we decided to try and make it in our own. By we, I mean me...I made it...lol. Mr. found the recipe. I made Tiki Masala, homemade Naan and garlic butter rice, it was so delicious, and it will be happening again!


Our towel rack broke...so Mr. is trying to fix it, see the next picture.


He rigged it upside down and filled the base with cement...two days later and it's still drying, I'll keep you posted.


I'm making a cup for a friend, thought I'd share how I made them. I spray paint a cup.


Glitter it

Epoxy it, and then add some quote or pictures to it...it's currently still spinning so I can't show you the finished product yet. Check out my IG in a couple of days and you'll probably see the finished product.


We have some new friends in our garden...hopefully we get to see them turn into butterflies.


Got my second shot on Monday and I'm so happy to be done, 11 more days and I'll be fully vaccinated! A lot of our friends are getting their second shots soon, so we can maybe start seeing more friends soon! At least go out to dinner! Happy for that, and hoping the numbers continue to go down where I live.



The kids are in Kindness Club at school (via Zoom) and each week they have a specific task of kindness to try and do, this week was to make food for someone. Mini Fox made me my favorite lemonade and Baby Fox made me a fruit bowl.




 Other then that, life is starting to pick back up. Slowly starting to get busy. This kid has sports 6 days a week, but he never complains about it. Baseball, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday.


Football on Thursday and Fridays.


This girl has horseback riding too. She really wants to get back to gymnastics, so hopefully when Mr. and I fully vaccinated and Baby Fox is down to one sport we can start her back up in that!


Mini Fox's riding pants, under $25, in case you need a pair. Good quality and comfortable, she loves them.

Alright, I think that's it for this post. A lot of pictures I know. Thanks for sticking with me. See you all next week!

Floral Shorts Outfit

 Hello Foxy Friends! I'm joining my IG friends tomorrow for a little floral look. I just got these shorts from my Sweetly Striped, as you can tell a lot of my clothes lately have come from them. I can't help it, it's all so cute! I got the last pair of these shorts, but these are very similar. I'm sort of digging the non denim shorts right now, they're more comfortable and they look a little bit more put together with very little effort.

Can we talk about the shoes? I had told you last week I bought them, but now that I have them, everyone needs them! I would give you a close up but my nail polish is chipping and no one wants to see that. Anyway, they are under $20 and SOOO comfortable! I cooked dinner in them last night and they were so comfortable. No blisters first time wearing them. It looks like the black is sold out right now in my size, but the other colors are there, I might have to pick another pair up. They are definitely going to be my go to sandal of the summer!

chain bracelet (similar) / white bracelet (similar) / gold beaded (similar)

I got this cute necklace, that is all one piece so no actual layering is happening from my girl, Jessica over at Sweetly Striped.


What are you going to be wearing on repeat this summer? It was 86° here today, so Summer is on the brain right now. See you tomorrow!

Skirts and Sneakers

Hi Foxy Friends! Another outfit post for you. I thought instead of clumping in my outfit post on Friday, I would get my act together sooner, and do it on Wednesday Thursday instead :) I have been participating in a fashion IG collab #styledacrossthestates, where each week we pick an item of clothing to style. This week is our favorite sneakers. If you want to join in on the fun, use #Styledacrossthestates4 (because this is the 4th week we've done this) and like all of the others who use that hash tag.

I love the way you can dress down a cute skirt with some tennis shoes. I love these rose gold adidas ones. I wear them all the time, and I might have them in several colors. I think I'll be pairing my skirts and dresses with tennis shoes all summer long. Or I might have to get these sandals, for under $20 and 226 4.5 star rating, I think I need to try them!



Bracelet (similar)

Sad that the necklace fell below my shirt and you can't see it fully. But it's from my friends cute shop and it's only $15.99. It's a layered necklace with one clasp, so no worrying about it getting mixed together behind your neck and then stuck in your hair.


Speaking of hair, I'm so excited I'm getting my hair done today! After months of not going because of high numbers in my area...finally getting rid of some of those greys. So next week expect slightly shorter hair and no grey hairs peaking out.


Here's me trying to pretend to be a model, and do different poses that I don't normally do. Thought I would share these with you, since I'm on over sharer of pictures sometimes.


Me trying to show off the shoes, because they are shoes, and in the grass and you couldn't see them, so I did this...didn't really work, but I'll embarrass me to show you that everyone has those horrible pictures.

This one was the wind blown look, I'm not sure how that happened, but sort of loving how my hair turned out in this one.

 
We can't forget the ones I tried to take pictures of my shoes...you know because you can't really see them in the pictures above...not sure which I'm going to use for my post tomorrow of all of these picture you have seen, what do you think?


This one I was trying to mimick the pictures you see on any website really where they are on their toes...I think it just looks funny, like why would your feet be in this position to get a shoe shot? Hmmm...


Alright I'm out before I embarrass myself any more :) See you tomorrow for a Friday favorites!

Friday Favorites #4

 Happy Friday Foxy Friends! I have today off, woo hoo! I love my off Fridays, I think I'm going to get some clothes altered...I have a stack in my closet that desperately needs altering #shortgirlproblems. Anyway, let's get on to this weeks favorites.



The last couple of weeks I've been participating in #styledacrossthestates, each week a theme is chosen and then everyone styles that thing. This week is stripes. It's like they were speaking to me, my closet is heavily striped things, so much so, that I have to force myself to not buy more stripe things! Anyway, I just got/bought this outfit yesterday, from my girl over at Sweetly Striped. She's a Mama owned small boutique that is all online and she is killing it!

This body suit was just released this week and is the softest thing you'll every wear. The body suit part is so comfortable, and that is saying a lot, I HATE body suits. Not this one, so comfy and stretchy.  Since Sweetly Striped is a small business, if you want this, you gotta get it now, sizes are limited.

My attempt to be a real model and pretend to laugh.



If you want to join in on the #styleacrossthestates DM @jessicakienbaum and @meginspiredstyle for next weeks theme!

This girl has been wanting the ice cream man to come around our neighborhood but he just never does. Yesterday was her day. I hear her running around the house trying to find me, and when she does, she screams I hear the ice cream man, let's go, let's go. I told her most likely not at our house, but low and behold he was at our park. She throws on some shoes and goes running towards the park as I grab my wallet. She's probably 40 ft away and he starts to drive away, I'm way further then that I so I give him my famous whisstle, which makes him stop his truck look over at me, while I'm signaling for him to wait for us! She was one happy camper. It was a buy 3 for $10, so of course we got 3.









Mini Fox really wanted to try and catch the sneaky Leoprachaun, she didn't succeed this year, but next year might be her year.



She has a bed, flashlight, book for him to read, and a table with some pistachio snacks on it. She wanted to catch him but not be uncomfortable. She even made him a to-go bag for the nuts, which he took on his way out of the trap.




On Sunday Mini Fox had her usual horseback lesson, only this time, she fell off her horse. She wanted to go one way, but the horse had other plans and went the other way and she fell off. Luckily she was able to maneuver in a way that she landed on her butt and her arm. It could have been so much worse. But she got right back up there and kept going. Trooper. Suffice to say I got her whatever lunch she wanted, she picked Panda Express.



Her class hatched chicks and she gets to hold them every so often, the highlight of her day.


Baby Fox started baseball practice this week, and he's so stinkin' happy. And somehow Mr. got roped into being coach even though he knows nothing about teaching baseball...watches a ton of it, but has never taught anyone to play. So no pictures, because you know guys, if you forget to remind them to take pictures, none get taken. Next time, I'll try to snap one. First game is Saturday, so excited!



Last and certainly not least, it was Mr.'s birthday on Monday. While we didn't get to make the fancy dinner we had hoped for (blame a new baseball schedule), we did get some yummy food and some friends(the only family we've been quarantining with) came over to help celebrate.

I made his favorite Carrot Cake, and this weekend we're going to have that dinner that we were planning on making on Monday. We got him this golf rangefinder that he had wanted, and he was so happy and excited to use it this week.


This is a journal we add to every year for his birthday and Father's Day. See my tiktok explaining the concept. We love it, and seeing what the kids wrote back when they were 1, is a adorable.


Hope you all have a great weekend. We're going to watch Yes Day on Netflix, with Jennifer Gardner. My high school friend's daughter is one of the kids in the movie, so go support him and his family! So excited for her, this is her first big role. Happy Weekend!
