Friday Favorites #3

 Hi Foxy Friends! Happy Friday! Hope you all had a good week. Let's get into my favorite things this week.

Mini Fox did her thing last Sunday, so happy we are able to do this for her. She has about 6 weeks more of lessons, so she's going to be soaking it all in.

Speaking of animals, Mini Fox's class hatched baby chicks, they are adorable. They are coming up with names this week. Two of the eggs hatched about the same time, so they are calling them the "twins", so Mini Fox's name suggestion was Pop and Corn..I thought that was cute.

I just got her those rainboots too, how cute are they for under $8, sizes are going fast, so go get your kids a pair!

Baby Fox starts baseball next week and we're so excited! Mr. is the coach, which he's never done before but he told me that a lot of the other parents are stepping up to help out, so that's good. Seems like we have a really good team.

Andrea was talking about going to Trader Joe's this week, so I figured I would share my recent discoveries at TJ's. I went on Monday, and picked up these goodies.

We'll start on the top left, that frozen gingers is great, I hate grating ginger, and these come all ready to go, and frozen for whenever you need them. And they seem/taste just like the fresh stuff.

Next is a Cauliflouwer rice stir fry, I have to tell you, we don't like cauliflower rice, by itself, but they flavors they used in this stirfry is great. You get a bunch of veggies and we've been pairing it with chicken for a light dinner with no carbs. 

The coconut shrimp we've never tried, but I figure with Lent here, we needed some Fish options for Friday, it looks good though.

The hash browns are a must, they are just like McDonald's hash browns! We cook them in the air fryer and they come out perfect and crunchy every time.

Can you tell I'm on a cauliflower kick, I picked up this Kung Pao Cauliflower, mostly because it just looked interesting, why not? 

These pizza's are great for Mini Fox. She eats one for dinner, with some veggie side and she's a happy camper. I like to have these on hand because when Mr. and I get pizza we don't want to pay $15 for a cheese pizza, haha! So we do the frozen kind for less money and she's just as happy.

The last thing we've never tried before but it sounded good, and I thought we could eat it with the Kung Pao Cauliflower.

I just got this stand this week, and I am already in love! So many times I've tried balancing my phone on the paper towel holder or the olive oil bottle, but the if I have to charge my phone, that doesn't work out...I don't know why I waited so long to get this. It's $10...add to cart!

Have a pop sockets? No problem, it still works with it on the back of the phone. I was worried about that, but not even a problem.  This is the case I have, and Otterbox works with Popsocket so you can get custom popsocket tops from Popsocket. It's great. I actually need to order a new one as the one I have is almost 2 years old and is starting to fade around the edges.

I know another outfit post..who am I? But I've teamed up with some other ladies on IG to post outfits from #acrossthestates, it's fun to see how different parts of the country style their thing. This week we're doing Black Leggings. I went way out of my comfort zone for this one. But figured, I just got this top and really wanted to style it and thought this would be a fun going out outfit, when we could go out again.  It comes in 7 different colors and after I got this one I might have gone and about another color. It's going to be a great top for Summer. I probably would pair this outfit with this jacket or this jacket.

That's all I have for now, what are you doing this weekend? It's Mr's birthday on Monday, and he's golfing on Sunday, so I think we'll deck the house out while he's gone. The kids are excited to go pick out decorations. And I finally got a good idea for a gift, so got that on order, phew!

Currently: March

Hi Foxy Friends! I finally remembered to link up with Anne in Residence for her currently post. Each month she picks different topics that we talk about, this month it is: choosing, imagining, making, recommending and wearing.

Choosing

We're choosing to believe that we'll be able to go to Hawaii for a Summer vacation. It's booked, so hopefully we'll be able to go on it! Fingers crossed. We're so excited, to soak up some sun and lots of beach time. This is from 2019 when we went to the Big Island. This time around we're going to Maui.

Imagining

Trying to imagine what life is going to be like going forward. We're coming up on a year in quarantine and wondering how we are going to get back to going to the movies and concerts. Right now I'm just happy they are assuming baseball is going to happen. We had try outs last Saturday.

Making

Cups for all of my friends, and some hats also.

Making some Toddler birthday shirts this week...steady stream of business. So if you need anything, let me know! Right now I'm working at putting together an Etsy store, so if you could go like my store, that would be amazing! So when I do get up and running I'll already have some followers :) Thank you!

Also a lot of bread for neighbors and friends. I've made 10 or so loaves in the last 2 weeks. It's a vicious cycle with sourdough starter, you have to feed it, but you don't want to waste it, so you bake something and you don't want to eat that much bread, so you give it away. haha. And now all these people really like the bread, so I keep making the rounds of people who want it.

Oh and some sourdough cinnamon rolls. They are delicious.

Recommending

I feel like a more well rounded person would recommend some awesome books to read, or cool pod casts to listen to...but I have done neither. The last book I read was Class Mom back in May maybe? It was hilarious. It's a fictional story of a room mom and her hilarious letters to the classroom to get parents to volunteer and such. There are other story lines in-between, the whole book was a light read and relatable. Highly recommend. 

Other then that, I would highly recommend these leggings. I have a few pairs and wear them all the time.

Wearing

Currently wearing all of the athleisure wear. Truth be told, I owned two maybe 3 pairs of leggings, that I never wore, pre quarantine. Now I can't  count that high, oops! I just keep buying more...what is wrong with me? And I keep buying cute sweaters to wear with said leggings. Our cold weather last approximately 2 seconds, so I'm not sure why I am buying all these warm comfy clothes. I'm going to go with my house is cold?

This jacket is my favorite jacket currently, so much so I might have it in a berry color. 

Leggings / Jacket / Shoes

This sweater, a friend got me and it's so soft. I would however size up from your normal size. It's actually a pink marbly color, but you can't really see it in the photos.

Last but not least, I actually bought this sweater to go with these leggings. I think the combo is just too cute.

Make up is all Senegence:

CCTM in Medium, Foundation in Tan, Eyeshadow is Plum Berry, Rustic Brown and Glitter Pink and lip color is Amore with Glossy Glossy. If you want to get any of the make up contact Becky, she'll get you all hooked up.

And what's a photoshoot without a jumping picture. Can I tell you how hard it is to do a jumping picture with a timer? I'm jumping for joy that this is my new work uniform.

So what have you been wearing lately?

Best Lounge Wear And Other Favorite Things

Hi Foxy Friends! I know my posts have been few and far between. Every time I got to blog some little human needs my help with something. Then the day seems to get away from me, repeat everyday it seems. But I have been snagging all the great deals and I'm here to share them with you.

I realized very quickly that I don't have much lounge wear. I went to work 5 days a week, on most weeks, and then on the weekends we would be doing kid sports and going out with friends, so I didn't have a need for lounge wear. Well send a little quarantine my way and give me ALL the lounge wear.  I might have bought 3 new pairs of joggers, a few sweaters, some shorts and two pairs of leggings. and the joggers and leggings? From the same brand and if you don't have a pair of Vuori pants...you NEED to get a pair ASAP! I have a group text going and one of the ladies bought a pair, said how awesome they were and then the 11 other ladies bought multiple pairs in multiple orders. We all bought one then got them and realized we had to have them all!

Camo Leggings / Joggers / Jacket / Shorts (leopard, Black, Ombre, Stripe)

This jacket is 40% off, and super cute with the stripe down the sleeve.

These leggings are plain black and so soft!

Then the weather got hot and the joggers made sense, so of course I had to get some shorts. The shorts are $15 and SO soft I bought 4 pairs...oops!

Old Navy keeps sucking me in too. They keep having these great sales, so I keep buying more stuff...darn you Old Navy! Staying on track with my comfy clothes...

Belong Lifestyle Denim Dress

Hi Foxy Friends. Guess what? I'm collaborating with Belong Lifestyle and they named a dress after me! It's called the Sarah California Dreaming Denim Dress. I have seriously been looking for the perfect denim dress for the LONGEST TIME. I think I have tried to buy no less than 8 denim dresses, and all of them have gone back. This one is PERFECT! I love that it has the tie waist that you can cinch to give it a little structure.

And guess what?! It has pockets! All good dresses have that right?

I had gotten my hair done a couple of days prior, now if only I could get my curls to look like this every time...
