Friday Favorites #26

This week my parents took Baby Fox to spend the night at their house for the first time. We tried this last summer but he just wasn't ready. He told us he was ready, I might have almost cried after he left.


She had her shoes and was all ready to go too, she was really upset she didn't get to go too.


It was so weird having just one kid, and so easy! But super weird he wasn't in his bed when I went to check on the kids before we went to bed. The house just seemed a little empty, ya know? Happy that he's reached this milestone, but sad at the same time.


Life changing...just watch it, trust me.



This girl has it going on...


She copies everything he does, EVERYTHING. She doesn't even suck her fingers...


Wednesday we went to watch my dad at his track meet. Did I tell you he's a track starter? He used to do it back when he was my age, and then had kids and didn't have the time, so he passed the torch and all his stuff to my Grandpa, when my grandpa go too old to do it, my dad would go with him and help out, then my dad starting doing the track meets and my Grandpa would go to "help"


Baby Fox wanted to hold the numbers for the 2 mile race...



Boys 2 mile race


Ready...Set....Go!



Helping cleaning up.



Baby Fox insisted on doing this himself...such a strong boy.



What were your favorite moments of the week?

Style Me Spring 2015 Challenge - Outfits 3 Thru 9


Hey, Hey! I'm back with the ladies, recapping our outfits for this past week. Click here for the previous outfits. There's a lot of outfits, so let's get to it.



Day 3

I love this shirt. When I got it in the mail, I knew right away that I was going to love it. I even like how high it comes up on the sides, although I probably should wear a tank underneath, I sort of like that some of my skin is showing...too risky for a Mom of 2? Naw, I'm going to live on the wild side. But I did find some awesome layer tanks at Target, I'll probably pick up a few more colors this week.




I just love the back side of it too.



Mini Fox just wanted a hug.





Day 4

I took so many pictures of this outfit you have NO idea! Actually I did two days of this outfit, because all of the pictures from the first time didn't look good, and I realized that it looked so much better buttoned and slightly tucked in. I thought this was one of my least favorite, but after I did some buttoning and tucking it's not so bad after all. Amazing what a little styling can do.






Day 5

I LOVE this top, I can't tell you how much I love it. It's super comfy and it's somewhat polka dotty...but it's swirly when you look really close, I love it. And of course it's sold out :( Sorry.
I should add a belt, but I don't know what kind, any suggetions. These jeans are also from White House Black Market and are the MOST comfortable things you'll ever wear...seriously. Worth the money!





The earrings are Kate Spade my Mom picked up at Nordstrom Rack, so cute right?


You might be wondering why I have this face?


Because I was being robbed!

This looks staged but it totally wasn't, he just walked up and did this and Mr. just captured the moment

Day 6

I have no idea why I didn't wear a necklace with this? Wasn't feeling it that day? Not really sure...wait I remember, it was because I had the earrings on, and I thought doing both would be too much, but then you can't really see the earrings, so maybe next time I need to wear my hair up. Hmmm....


Love these sandals, these are from DSW, from the Fall on Clearance, score!



Baby Fox wanted in the shot...and my eyes are closed, at least he's cute.


Better shot at the earrings



Day 7

My all time favorite, favorite outfit so far! I don't know what it is about this outfit that I love, but it's just awesome and I feel so put together and I love it, did I mention that I love it? The skirt can be found here...at Nordies of course and on sale for $22.80!





Day 8

This could really be a Fall staple, jeans, tee, scarf, bright flats, super easy but you look totally put together. What's your go to outfit?






Day 9

Slightly annoying that my necklace was off in these picture, my picture guy is fired! Just kidding Mr...it's so much easier to do pictures without having to get the tripod and remote...I'll keep ya around ;)

This shirt was one that Shaeffer at Pinterest Told Me To (well I got the 2013 version and I linked  you back to the 2014 version), made a must have shirt, and I have to say, yes you must have this shirt, it is really comfortable and comes in a ton of different colors.
