Happy Hump Day Foxy Friends! It's the second week of The Blended Blog's Spring Fever. I know some of you are still in the thick of cold weather, but we can dream about Spring right?

I thought this week I would show you one of my favorite maxi dresses. I actually wore it for our family photos a few years ago, but it's definitely something that can be styled in so many ways. What's more Spring than a white jean jacket?

For my hair I decided to go with something super easy, get it's out of my face and looks like a tried just a little bit.

As always, my silly picture...surprisingly this didn't take long to do. Can I tell you how hard it is to get a jumping show when you are using a self timer? I think I almost have the timing down...

We're in the second week of my Hair 101 series, and today I thought I would talk about how to tease your hair. Something that sounds easy, but it's how I get a lot of volume for some of my more complicated hair styles. This hair style I pretty much do on the daily. It's easy, quick and makes you look way more put together then I actually am.

If you have any suggestions on what you would like to see, let me know in the comments down below. I'm working on trying to get Mr. do a hair tutorial on Mini Fox...so far no luck!

Friday Favorites #106

I am currently on another plane, headed home this time! And no more trips in the horizon! I think...I hope...Going to be a long day, flight is at 6:30am, get in to LA about 9:30 or so, and then I have a full day of physical therapy, ballet and t-ball...which me luck that I don't fall asleep.

In case you missed it this week:

Monday Post 1: How to Get Mom Time
Monday Post 2: California Mom's Share their Secret Spots
Tuesday: February in Numbers
Wednesday: Comfy, Holey Sweaters
Thursday: Sentence a Day: February Edition

This week I've been on a business trip and Mr. did her hair on Sunday. How this hair came about I have no idea, but pretty impressive when I talked to them at 8pm that night it was still in tact.

I went to the hotel gym and you had to walk past all of these people to go to and come from the gym, talk about embarrassing.

 

But I did get a good workout in.

 

 

Also went to church where I am for ash Wednesday. My dad ended up taking the kids to a kids mass, he said it was really fun with all of the kids participating.

Looking a picture from this time last year...

Linking up with The Blended Blog again to share some of my favorite blog posts this week:

Nili wrote the perfect post about Lent, if you are wondering what it's really all about, go read her post right now.

Lisa always creates the best outfits. I just loved her how to style a denim jacket from this week.

I am so incredibly happy for a fellow blogger who announced her pregnancy on the blog yesterday! Go tell her congrats, I'm so excited for them and their growing family.

And now a Friday funny.

This is a make you feel good/good memories/funny/awesome video.

How was your week? Have a great weekend.

Transition Sweater and How To Use A Bobby Pin

Happy March 1st Foxy Friends! I cannot believe that it is already March! Which means that Spring is right around the corner, so the ladies over at The Blended Blog thought we would celebrate by sharing the outfits we'll be wearing this Spring. Let's bring on the Spring Fever!

I decided that I would I would start the Spring Fever link up with one of my new favorite transition sweaters. It is weaved, so it is a bit airy, add a tank under it for the cooler days, and take away the tank for a fun sweater that's not too warm.

Last week I told you that I was going to start a new hair series 101. I thought I would start the series with the most basic hair thing, Bobby Pins. I know it seems super simple right, but are you using them correctly? I know I had been using them wrong for years...actually until I started my hair challenge last year. I personally use these bobby pins.

And because a video says a 1000 words...okay not really, but it's easier to create videos then take pictures of myself doing my hair...

And because there is always a silly picture...

So what hair videos do you want to see? Let me know so I can start working on it!
