1. Top 3 Shops? Nordstrom, Target, and Amazon (does that even count?)

2. Where is the majority of your shopping done - In store or online? Online for sure. Desk job, need I say more? But I always shop at places I can return in store, Nordstrom, Target, Loft (when I shop on Amazon, I rarely return stuff.

3. What's your favorite thing to shop for? Clothes and shoes!

4.  What do you just HATE shopping for? Umm...I don't think that's in my vocabulary. I love shopping for all things. Even groceries...it's like a vacation from the family. haha, anyone else feel like that?

5. What's your most favorite thing you've ever bought? Hmm...that's a hard one, I really like everything I buy. Thinking...thinking...thinking...nope nothing stands out. Maybe my house. Does that count?

6.  Do you prefer shopping alone or with others? With others for sure, I like getting others opinions. I really like shopping with these ladies.

 Although I do like grocery shopping alone, it just goes faster.

7. Best Bargain? Probably that dress from last week, it was $20 and I wore it for every band performance for 3 years, talk about getting your money worth.

8. Thrift Store Shopping, yes or no? I don't usually thrift store shop, although I have consigned shopped once. I got this jacket, it's pretty awesome.

10. Who's your style or fashion icon? Is it okay to have a style icon of Olivia Pope from Scandal? Man I love her wardrobe and would wear everything she owns. And her jackets...swoon....

Who is your style icon? Head on over to The Blended Blog to link up your answers!

TBB Asks: February Edition

Hi Foxy Friends! Hope you are all recovering from the game last night. It's the first Monday of the month which means TBB Asks, where they ask the questions and we answer. Super easy for a Monday morning post right?

1. Who is your oldest friend?

Oldest friend would be Lindsey, I've known her since 1st grade. (on the far right) the other two I have known since 7th grade. Picture taken in November for our 20 year high school reunion. This was the only picture we took that night, oops!

2. Tell us about circle of support, who are your people?

Of course my parents and my siblings, but just recently (in the past year) we've really reach out to the people in our community and have made some really great friends. Our kids either go to school together, on the same sports team or are part of the church, some of them are in all three. Recently we all did a Onsie Bar Crawl, it was a lot of fun.

Going to a baseball fundraiser. Now some of us our youngest are all starting their first year of t-ball, they are going to be so stinkin' cute!

3. How did you meet your partner?

In short, a bar in Hollywood (how cliche?) Here's the full story. I know you're dying to know.

4. How is Valentine's Day celebrated in your home?

We spend time together. Usually we cook dinner together, or do something together. We're not a huge celebrators of Valentine's Day, but we do acknowledge it.

5. What is your love language?

Definitely Acts of Service. Nothing says you love me than doing the dishes or laundry.

6. Do you prefer receiving flowers or chocolates?

Chocolate dipped strawberries, do those count? Mr. has made those several times for me, and I love them so much.

7. What is the most meaningful gift you have ever received or have given?

Oh wow, this is a hard one...I think one of the most meaningful ones is the one I gave my dad for our wedding, as a thank you.  I made him a quilt with all of his old Notre Dame t-shirts.

So what would be your answers, if you don't have a blog, sound off down below, or go to The Blended Blog and link up your answers!

TBB Asks January

Hi Foxy Friends, it's another first Monday of the month, which means we ask the questions and you answer! Easy post for a Monday morning. So lets get started, here are the questions:

Books you have read multiple times?

Favorite Book/Author of all time?

Hmmm....I don't know if I have one of all time, but I remember my first favorite book was The Winner by David Balducci. I've read it twice, and I have completely forgotten the book. This is why I keep books, enough years go by and I totally forget it and can read it again and it's like a new book. Must mean I need to read this one again.

In general though, I really like Jodi Picoult books. 

Favorite TV show to binge?

Gilmore Girls, I think I've watched the series at least 3 times completely through.

Favorite Newish TV show?

Hmmm...we'll currently Mr. and I are watching Continuum on Netflix. We're on the 4th episode and we really like it. It has 4 seasons, but there is already a series finale, so you get the whole story and don't have to wait, we like that. 

Before that we watched Travelers, which is a fantastic show. 

Both shows are about time travel, so if you don't like time travel then you won't like these shows.

Favorite movie of all time?

I'm going to have to go with Ever After. My roommate in college and I would watch that movie every night to fall asleep to, it just brings back good memories.

Movie you are looking forward to watching?

Aladdin, it was my FAVORITE movie growing up, so I'm really excited to see it when it comes out. I hope it's good!

First concert you attended?

I believe it was an N Sync concert with my cousin. It was so much fun, it was the first time I had been to San Francisco and taken the BART to get around and really going on a trip without my parents. It was so much fun hanging with my cousin and her friends. I remember we stayed up and watched Selena before going to the concert the next day, totally random memory. No pictures, I don't think...that's a little sad to think about. Wonder if my cousin has any pictures? Do I? Hmmm...???

Ultimate concert (even if it can't happen)?

...what would be my ultimate concert? To be honest I like listening to music, but I don't really know artists and the names of people. But I really like Pink, Britney Spears, Maroon 5, Justin Timberlake and maybe some Lady Gaga, that would be a fun concert. Or maybe we should go with The Beatles and Elvis Presley. 

Favorite Music Artist/Band?

Hmm...don't really have one? Baby Fox's favorite band is Imagine Dragons.

How do you listen to music?

On the radio mostly in the car. I know I'm lame. Or YouTube. I find the people I like and play it on YouTube.

Head on over to The Blended Blog to see what everyone has to say. 

TBB Asks: December Edition

Hi Foxy Friends, it's another first Monday of the month, which means we ask the questions and you answer! Easy post for a Monday morning. So lets get started:

 

1. Candy Canes? 

 Yes all the way! I like the traditional ones but I really like the flavored ones, like cherry.

2. Christmas morning early riser or sleep in?

I'd like to sleep in, but my kids have other plans! Growing up we weren't allowed to bother our parents until 7am, haha.

3. Did you shop on Black Friday?

Oops, no! I forgot? We got so busy with other things that I forgot. Right before bed I tried to jump online to pick some stuff up, but didn't find anything, I was too late. Darn. But I did get some good stuff on Cyber Monday!

4. Christmas tree up in November?

Yep! I'm a decorate Thanksgiving weekend kind of gal. It takes so long to put everything up, I want to enjoy it for as long as possible! 

 

5. Do you get Holiday ideas from Pinterest?

Not usually, although this year I'm doing some wreaths on my kitchen cabinets because of Andrea... I went to 3, yes three Targets (all within a 30 minute time span) to try and find her same wreath, it was a no go, but I think I found an alternative that I'm going to make. I hope it turns out! So I guess I take inspiration from others around me. Oh speaking of which, I should put these up now, since it's Christmas time!

 6. Christmas Glam or Ugly Sweater?

 I prefer Christmas glam did you see my Christmas attire post? Although there are some pretty cute "ugly sweaters" out there.

 7. Stocking Stuffers: Wrapped or Unwrapped?

 We do a mix of both, mostly unwrapped. We pretty much only wrap movies that we give. Everything else, just throw it in!

8. Traditional or Modern Christmas Songs?

I like both. I like when people take traditional songs and make them more modern.

 

9. Fruitcake?

I've never had it before, so I"m not sure? But from what I hear it's not good, so maybe that's why I've always avoided it.

10. Is your Christmas shopping finished?

Nope, wish!

 

11. Is there snow in December where you live?

Nope, not even close. Although if you drive a little over an hour away you can find some snow. 

What it looks like where I live...sort of. I drove about 15 minutes to get here, and pulled off on the side of the freeway to snap this. Don't worry it was a lookout point, so it was safe.

12. Classic Show: A Charlie Brown Christmas or Rudolph?

I'm going with  A Charlie Brown Christmas, but it's been ages since I have seen either one.

 Answer below or go link up your post over on The Blended Blog!

TBB Asks: November Edition

Hi Foxy Friends! It's the first Monday of the month, which you know that means TBB Asks! Super easy post for a Monday, we ask the questions, you answer them. Easy as that. So let's get started.

1. Have you ever kept a gratitude journal?

No, although every night during bedtime, we each go around and say three things that were good about the day. I should start writing down what we say each night.

2. Hosting Thanksgiving at your house?

No, we go to my cousins each year, they do an awesome job cooking turkey.

3. Favorite food from the Thanksgiving meal?

This is a tough one, because I like all the things, piled on the plate and mixed together. So I'm going with all of it.

4. What one thing in nature are you most grateful for?

Birds, I love watching birds fly in the "V" and working together.

5. Pumpkin Pie?

NO, big FAT NO. I would rather starve. The End.

6. Traditional Cookbook?

Not sure what this means...hmm...yes I have them, yes I use them? Is that that means? Instead of using online? Hmmm...???

7. Oven baked or deep fried turkey?

My cousin smokes it, and it's delicious as well. That doesn't answer the question though...so let's go with oven baked.

8.  Thanksgiving leftovers?

Heck yes! Since we go to someone's house for Thanksgiving, we don't get many left overs, so we usually end up making our own Thanksgiving turkey again, just so we can eat all of the left overs, hehe.

9. What is the one household product you are grateful for?

My cordless vacuum, life changing I tell ya. I talk about it here.

10. Are you most grateful for home cooked meals or restaurant meals? 

Well I love a good home cooked meal that I don't have to prepare. Although I do like cooking, so as long as I can walk away and don't have to clean up or do dishes, I'm good.

TBB Asks: October Edition

Happy Monday Foxy Friends! I can't believe that it's October already, like what?!

1. Favorite Fall Color?

I love dark reds and blacks...My favorite is a dark lipstick and dark nail polish. I always feel sad in Spring when I have to switch to lighter colors. I know I could still wear them, but don't really want people to think I'm all Emo...and stuff.

My favorite color, Lincoln park in the Dark

2. Apple Cider hot or cold?

Hot, I think? I actually don't really know? Have I had cold cider? I'm not sure...I'll get right on that.

3. Caramel Apple? 

I like them if they cut them up for you, else too messy to eat them off of a stick.

4. Pumpkin doughnut or Apple Cider Doughnut?

Apple doughnut for sure.

5.  Long or short cardigan?

Long cardigan for sure, even though not all of them look good on my short frame, they are just so cozy.

6. Favorite football or Fall party food?

Hmm...I don't go to many football parties or fall parties, so I'm not sure, so I'll go with what I've had a Super Bowl parties, and I really like any sort of dip that goes with chips.

7.  Orange or white pumpkins?

Orange pumpkins. White ones don't really match my house. But I do really like them.

8. Hayride or bonfire?

I'm going with bonfire with this one, only because i've never been on a hay ride and I'm really allergic to hay.

9. Favorite Fall baked good?

Apple pie! Although any time of the year is apple pie time in my book. This past weekend, Mr. made a crock pot apple pie filling, it was delicious! Recipe to come!

10. Most anticipated Fall activity?

Apple picking (which we did before the start of Fall), and Halloween! So much fun, can't wait to make our costumes! Was hoping to get them done this weekend, but life got in the way, this week, I'm going to try and get it done!

TBB Asks September

Hi Foxy Friends! Happy Monday and happy Labor Day, I know many of us are off enjoying family's right now, but what's the first Monday of the month without a little #TBBASKS? This month is all about Cozy and getting ready for Fall.

1. Slippers:  Yes or No? Yes, during the Winter months. And I prefer slippers that are more like thongs, because I suffer from that girl thing where I have a comfort zone of  2 degrees. Those last ones, I like because the back of your foot is free so they are easy to slip off.

Pink Slipper / Red Slipper /  Grey Slipper

2. What is your favorite blanket? The really soft ones from Costco are pretty awesome, and they are cheap.

3. Thin or thick pillow?  I think I am a middle of the road kind of girl. Currently I have feather synthetic pillow from Target. I have no idea which one..I went around squeezing them and then picked out the one that had the best squeeze.

4. Favorite warm beverage? I'm not one for warm beverages...but if I have to choose...I guess I'll go with...hot apple cider? Truth be told I've only had this maybe 2-3 times in my life.

5. Robe: Yes Or No? No, I feel like the sleeve length always gets in my way. Anyone have an awesome robe they like? I typically will wear this if I am cold in the house and already have my Pj's on.


6. Favorite comfort snack food(s)? I really like popcorn, like a LOT. Is that considered comfort food? Not sure, but it is in my book.

7. Movies or TV Series Binge? Depends, but lately we've been finding netflix shows to watch. We won't/haven't ever really binged watched movies. Once when we first got married we watched all three Tremors, but haven't done that since. So I guess we're TV series bingers.

8. Actual PJ's or Leggings? PJ's all the way. These are my favorite brand.

9.  Do you cozy up on the couch or chair? Couch...we have a super big couch, so there is plenty of space there.

10. Hoodie, t-shirt or sweater? Hmmm...not sure how to take this question...I guess I really like that sweater I pointed out in question 5 to get cozy with (staying with the theme), so let's go with sweater.

Now head on over to The Blended Blog and link up your answers, or comment down below and let us know what you prefer!

TBB Asks - August Edition + Announcement!

Hello Foxy Friends! I'm not going to make you wait till the end of this post to tell you our announcement...it's too exciting not to share! As The Blended Blog continues to grow and evolve, sometimes it's necessary to make changes and one of those changes is that we've added two new members! Introducing KellyAnn from This Blonde Shopping Bag and Vanessa from X-tremely V.  If you don't follow these ladies you should, head on over to The Blended Blog to find out a little more about them.  Okay let's get this party started.

1. Favorite birthday party as a child? Hmmm...I remember once going to a community pool and having my birthday party there, it was a small group of kids (can't even remember who), and we had so much fun. So I guess that one, since that is the only birthday party I can remember as s kid...as a young adult, for my 17th birthday my parents surprised me at band camp and took myself and all of my friends out to lunch, that was fun.

2. Do you like to entertain? Yes! I love it, the reason we bought a house with a pool, so we could throw parties and have all of the kids want to hang out at our house...mostly so I can keep an eye on Baby and Mini Fox. Some of the parties I've thrown, you can find here. My favorites are when I threw Baby Fox a Super Hero Party (mostly I think the cake I made turned out awesome, I took a ton of pictures of that), and when I threw my sister her Fiesta Party for her 40th, I really like making backgrounds for the kids themed party. This under the sea one was pretty awesome.



3.  What kind of parties are your favorite? Fun ones? haha...I like a mix of both, when it's an adult only party so we don't have to worry about what the kids are going to eat or what's going to entertain them. But then, I love going to kids parties and seeing how much fun the kids are having together.

4.  Big or Small Parties? I like to attend small parties, with people I know, so you can really get to talk to people, but when i throw parties they are big. Mr. and my philosophy, invite everyone so no one feels left out. At least we try to follow that philosophy.

5.  Favorite thing to do at Parties? Eat the good food, assuming it's no pizza from a kids party, haha! Also the time I get to catch up with friends, cause sometimes that's the only time I get to see them.

6.  Party food favorite? Hmmm...chips and dip...salsa, onion dip, guacamole, I don't discriminate.

7.  Favorite flavor of birthday cake? Hmmm...I guess if I have to pick it's chocolate with chocolate frosting (butter cream, not fondant, blah). But I do like making fun cakes for the kids for their birthdays.



8.  Balloons? Yep, all the way! They just make everything fun. Have you tried getting a balloon drop? The kids love it and it's so stinkin' fun!

9.  Best Party Song? Not sure...I am horrible at songs...but one that does get my college friends and I on the dance floor every single time....Baby Got Back...haha.

10.  Do you like to Dance? Yep! Although I don't do it a lot and I'm terrible at it. Give me a few drinks and I'm good to go!

Head on over to The Blended Blog to link up your answers! I can't wait to see what everyone writes.

TBB Asks - July Edition

Hey Foxy Friends! How is it already July? You know what happens on the first Monday of the month...it's The Blended Blog asks, where we ask you questions and you all answer. It's a great Monday post and an easy way for your readers to get to know you. So let's get started!

1. Will you go on a Summer Vacation this year?

Not really? We're taking two really long weekends in August, but other then that, nothing. We were going to go somewhere big in December, so we decided against a big vacation this summer. But now we're not doing the December thing and it's too late to plan a big summer thing. Oh well, next year!

2. Do nothing but relax or pack it all in vacation? 

We like to do both, do something one day, relax the next, do something else one day, then relax. At least we try. When we went to Rome, we had one thing on the agenda each day, and then we had a secondary, would be cool to see list...so after we were done with our one thing, we would assess to see how tired we were and started checking things off the list. Did we get to everything? No, but we did a lot, and never felt really all that tired.

3. What month do you like to vacation?

If the kids didn't have school, I would pick (and Mr. and I use to do this every year). The week after Memorial day, it's a short week, so you get a "free" vacation day from work, and it's almost always my off Friday, so for 3 vacation days, I get 10 days off. Pretty awesome. Typically we try to book vacation around my off Fridays.

4. Cruise: Yes or No?

I am a YES all the way, Mr. on the other hand is a hell to the no way kind of guy. I'm working on him. He thinks Titanic...enough said.

5. Favorite vacation tradition?

Umm...we don't have one? Oh well I guess we buy magnets whereever we go but that just started since we started traveling with the kids a couple of years ago. I know that Lindsay from Lindsay's Sweet World, buys tacky frames...her wall of frames is so awesome. I'm interested to see what other people say. Perhaps we need to start a new tradition.

6. Most memorable vacation?

I would say our 3 weeks to Italy/Switzerland with really good friends. That was always the trip we said we would take before we had kids, and we did...a year or so after that, but still it happened. 

Throwing coins in Trevi Fountain...if you look closely you can see all of our coins...Mr.'s is almost in his hand, and then you can see the sparkle of everyone else's coins above our heads.

7. Pack light or pack it all?

I used to be a pack it all including the kitchen sink...but lately I've been TRYING to pack just what I need...sometimes that fails me, as the one time I went on a buisness trip and didn't pack enough clothes and had to buy a blouse to wear to work...haha. Actually I brought dresses and it was super windy, and I couldn't wear the dresses, and brought no back up clothes. One day I'll find the happy middle ground.

8. Hotel, Condo or House?

Hmmm...I think it depends on where we are going. I like them all? House definitely if we are traveling with friends, it's more fun when you're all together. Condo if it's just the 4 of us...and I guess Hotel if there is something fun there, like Great Wolf Lodge.

9.  Favorite thing(s) to eat on vacation?

Ice Cream...dessert...and more ice cream...and anything bad that I don't normally eat at home because I feel like I can't.

10. Warm or cold destinations?

Both...I know it's cheating. But I really like snowboarding, so obviously those would be cold...but I also like laying on beach and doing nothing but swimming and reading...

TBB Asks: June Edition

Hi Foxy Friends! Sorry I have been MIA for a bit. We had some family stuff going on, and I decided to concentrate on family and being in the moment for a bit. But I couldn't miss out on TBB Asks Monday, those are my favorite days! Go link up your answers here!

*Some of the links are affiliate links and I will  either receive a small commission, at no cost to you, if you click on it or if you make a purchase from one of these links, I may also receive a commission on the sale of the product. Click here for my disclosure page.  

1. Walk or Bike? Bike, because you cover more ground. But we rarely bike around here, so I guess walk? We like going on hikes whenever we travel to a new spot.

2. Favorite Picnic Food? So the only picnic food I really eat is the kind you can take to the beach, so I really like pretzel bread with salami, mustard and cheese with some  Kettle BBQ chips.

3.  Pool or Lake? Pool, we don't have a lake? Or can I pick beach? We do have those.

4. Favorite Flavor of Ice Cream? Chocolate Malted Crunch from Thrifty's (now located in Rite Aid), do you have that where you live?

5.  Ice Cream Cone or In A Dish? Ice cream cone every time and a sugar cone.

6.  Flip Flops or Slides? Flip flops, these  are the ones I am currently rocking, and have bought a couple of pairs because I wear them out. But I just bought these, I hear they are comfortable.

7.  Jean Shorts or Jean Capris? Jean shorts, capris don't actually work on my legs. My calves are too big for those, and they make me look WAY shorter than I already am. These are my current favorite.

8.  Favorite Summer Fruit? Strawberries and grapes...preferably when eaten at the same time. (It's in my lunch today, favorite part of my day when I get to eat my fruit, sad but true).

12.  Favorite Berry? See above, Strawberries hands down. Especially when you can get them fresh from a farm stand.

13.  Kind Of Bathing Suit? I like bikini's, but am afraid those days have passed (minus when I'm at home and no one but my family is seeing me), so I'm into the one pieces right now. Currently I am rocking this and this and this I got last year and they are still selling and I get a TON of compliments on it every time I wear it.

14.  Dresses or Skirts? Dresses all the way, specifically any of these.

15.  One Word To Describe Summer? Epic, I always feel like we have the best summers, and they are just getting better now that the kids can travel. Bring on summer!

What are some of your answer? If you don't have a blog, or didn't do this, answer in the comments below!

TBB Asks: May Entertainment

Hi Foxy Friends! How is it May already? I'm sure everyone is wondering the same thing. But it's the first Monday of the month, which means it's TBB Asks Monday where The Blended Blog asks questions and we answer! It's an easy Monday morning post. So let's get started.

1.  Comedy or Drama? 
Depends on my mood, but lets say Comedy. Lately Mr. and I have been into action movies, so is that drama? Personally if Mr. isn't with me, I like a good Rom-Com.

2.  Fiction or Non-Fiction?
Fiction.

3.  Movie in Theater or At Home?
Mostly at home, back when we bought our house, the only thing Mr. wanted was a big tv...click here to see how big it is, and now that we've had it for 9 years, he's wanting to go bigger, not sure if my retina's can handle that! All this to say, I like watching movies at home, so I can pause and go get snack/drink/pee whenever I want and not miss anything.

4.  Musical or Play?
Hmmm, this is a tough one, but I'm going to go with musical. Gotta love me a good musical.

5.  Which Meal of the Day is your favorite to eat out?
Dinner for sure!

6.  Favorite Book ever read?
hmmm....I don't read nearly enough or have a passion for reading to say I have a favorite, but one book I have read over and over, which is a total Rom-Com type of book...

7.  Game Night: Yes or No? 
Yes! So much fun, although I am terrible at them, but it's fun to laugh with friends.

8.  Favorite Outside Game to play?
Does red rover count and being clothes-lined when they were too strong for you to break through? Else, freeze tag when I was kid. Or handball, and jump rope...but if I had to pick something right now as an adult? Hmmm...what would it be? Hide and Seek.

9.  Favorite TV Series Ever?
Easy, Gilmore Girls, I've probably watch the entire series, 3-4 times over.

10.  Sitcoms growing up or sitcoms of today?
Sitcomes growing up, Full House, Family Matters, Perfect Strangers, Alf, and the list continues...we only watch 3, no wait, 4 sitcoms right now. So definitely back in the day.

11.  Minature Golf or Bowling?
 Bowling...yep I have my own ball and bowling shoes.

12.  Favorite Movie Theater Candy?
Red Vines, and not Twizzlers, yuck.

13.  How do you like your popcorn?
If I could eat popcorn everyday I would...but I can't. I like white popcorn kernels, cooked on the stove with salt, no butter.

14.  3D movies with glasses? Yes or No?
No? I'm not sure? 3D movies weren't huge until, what? 10ish years ago, when I was with Mr. and he can't see 3D so we've never gone to one. Plus I get motion sickness really easily, so I've sort of avoided them in general. Although when we go to Legoland, they have a 4D short film, and I can handle that, but not sure if I could do a 2 hour movie of it...15 minutes sure, but not 2 hours. So I'm going to go with no. Well that was a bunch of details you didn't want to know.

15.  Favorite Genre of books to read?
Romantic-Comdy...are you getting a theme here? I love all of Emily Giffin books.

TBB Asks: April Spring Edition

Hi Foxy Friends! Happy Monday! Before I start answering today's questions I wanted to say Happy Anniversary to Mr. Today we celebrate 13 years together. One one hand it seemed to fly by and on the other hand I don't really remember life before him. Happy Anniversary Mr. I love you to the moon and back. If you want to see our marriage in numbers, last year I did a post of our marriage in numbers, it was super fun to put together. And to add to that post...

12...the number of months we lived in our apartment after we sold our condo before we bought our house.

13...the number of years we've been married

Okay now for the other questions:

1. What 3 colors remind you of Spring? Pink, Yellow and Baby Blue, although yellow looks awful on me.

2. What is the first thing you add to your wardrobe in Spring?

This is going to sound snobby, but nothing really, since we don't get extreme temps here. I do like to try and add some new t-shirts. I really like these (affiliate)...and am hoping they go on sale when the Nordstrom Anniversary sale comes along in July. Going to stock up if they do!

3.  What is the first wardrobe item you ditch in Spring?

I don't have much that I ditch (see #2), but I definitely don't wear my jackets, mostly stick to sweaters.

4.  Who mows your grass where you live?

Gardener, I am so allergic to grass, I don't think anyone wants me out there mowing the lawn.

5. What is Spring like where you live?

Currently it's 70°F, and pretty much perfect weather here.

6.  What's your favorite thing about Spring?

The longer days, the blooming flowers and the excitement for summer and planing summer things. Are you a Spring cleaner?

8.  Are you a baseball fan? 

Mr does? Does that count? But since I've been married to him I've watch a LOT more baseball than normal. We even watch the draft...

9.  Tulips or Daffodils?

Tulips, colorful ones.

10.  Favorite outdoor Spring activity.

When we can start swimming again. Which is usually Memorial Day weekend.

11.  Flower in the ground or in pots?

Well I have a black thumb, so I'm going to say in the ground, because I can't for the life of me remember to water the plants...so at least in the ground they get water from the sprinklers. These are from Costco, those bulbs, and they keep coming back, sometimes several times in a season. I don't have to do anything, which is the best part.



12. Favorite Bird?

Humming bird, and blue bird, they are just so pretty when I see them in my backyard.

13. Car wash or wash vehicles at home?

Car wash, but that never happens, so wash at home because the kids help and it takes up a good chunk of afternoon and they love it.



14.  When do you pull out your sandals?

They're petty much out all the time? Typically they aren't worn from December to about Mid February. Mr. wears them everyday...no matter the temps outside. Not that it gets that cold, but for me low 50's is cold.

1. Eyelash Curler: Yes Or No? Yes, although I don't use it when I'm using heavy lashes, like these. I have stick straight eyelashes that go straight into my eyes.

2. Favorite Nail Shade? 

Hands down OPI Lincoln Park After Dark'

 

The color in the picture is WAY more purple,  on the nails it looks almost black.

3.  Favorite Lipstick Shade?

So many choices, and not enough time.  But for a good neutral, I really like the color Bella from Lipsense.

I really like the Kylie Lip Kit red in color Mary Jo K.

 

4. Blow Dry or Air Dry Your hair?

I blow dry in the winter, and air dry in the summer. I really dislike being cold, so I dry it as soon as possible. 

5. Artificial Nails: Yes or No?

Nope, all real for me. I used to hate short nails and always had them long, but since kids, short, short, short. I did have one artificial nail when I got married, because my natural nail broke the day before we got our nails done for our wedding, oops!

6. Foundation: Yes or No?

Yes and no? I use a powder foundation for everyday wear to even out skin tone and then I use a foundation for when I have a long day or for special occasions. I haven't found a liquid foundation I really love yet.  

7. Hair Up or Down?

Down for the most part, I like to pin back my "bangs", I rarely use a ponytail, I think I have a weird shaped head for wearing all up, even though I love up dos. These are some of my favorites.

8. Bar Soap or Body Wash?

Bar soap, Dove to be exact.

9. Bath or Shower?

Shower, every time I take a bath, I just think of all the things I could be doing, instead of relaxing. I did however buy my first bath bomb from Lush a couple of weekends ago. Mr. says,  you do realize you will probably never use that? I'm going to prove him wrong, darn it!

10. Favorite Body Lotion?

I use Lubriderm mostly, and when I am really dry, which is most of the winter months, I use Vanicream

11. Do You Wear Perfume?

No, allergic to most scents. Although the allergy shots may or may not be helping me out, haven't decided yet. I was at a friends house and she lit a bath and body works candle, and eventually I had to ask her to blow it out because it was making me feel sick. So I guess my answer would be a definite no.

12. Do You Shave Your Legs Everyday?

No. Full confession, I am a lucky one and the hair on my legs grows in super soft and sparce, so you can't tell when I have hairy legs. Truth be told in the winter I don't have to shave my legs, unless I have a special event where I feel like it, but it's totally not necessary.

13. Favorite Lip Balm?

Lypsyl, I know totally random lip balm that no one has heard of, but I love it and have it in my purse, work, vanity...

14. How Old Were You When You First Started Wearing Make Up?

Ummm...34? When I decided I wanted to learn how to wear make up? When I was in high school/college, my mom and I would get into fights about me not wanting to wear make up and her wanting me to. Truth be told, I did a little make up in college, but on the daily, not until recently.

This is me in 2008, I considered this full make up all done up. I really liked my short hair...
