Happy Hump Day Foxy Friends! It's all down here from here right? We changed the clocks this weekend, which means longer warmer days are coming. So sorry if you're stuck in the middle of the horrible snow storm...but I thought I would share a recent purchase from Old Navy, like I got it in the mail, threw it on and took pictures kind of recent.

I know I'm going to get a lot of use out of this dress this Spring and Summer. I've been looking for something floral, and I finally found it.
The shoes are no longer available but these and these are similar.
The earrings I chose are a gift from a Andrea for my birthday.
We're in the third week of my Hair 101 series, and today I'm bringing you something a little more complicated, than bobby pins and teasing your hair. I'm going to show you how to pancake your braid. I know, seems complicated, but trust me it's not. It just takes some patience and the know how and you'll be set to go. In full disclosure, while editing this video I realized it was getting too long so I split it into two videos. The first part is how to pancake your braid, and the second one, is an easy hair out of your face hair style you can do with a small pancake braid, I do this mostly when I have day 3 hair of no washing.
Now get to linking up below. Thank you for the continued support and all of the links!
Happy Tuesday Foxy Friends! Easter is right around the corner so I thought I would share some of my favorite Easter outfits. I even put together a whole family outfit for you, now you don't have to do the thinking. When I think of Easter i think of bright pastel colors. I love how the Dad's shirt matches the color in Mom's Dress, and then the kids outfits tie into Mom's dress...not too matchy, matchy in my opinion. You could also wear this to a wedding if you have one coming up, two for one, that's what I like to buy.

Happy Monday Foxy Friends, I hope that you had a good weekend. Our weekend was very full and very fun! Today I thought I would share some videos I've been taking lately. Don't worry they are all under 30 seconds each. But this is my life lately in 5 videos. One of them is my bailing down a mountain...don't worry I was laughing and it was just funny that I feel just trying to stop.
Baby Fox is doing so well with baseball, he is loving every moment of it, which is all that matters right?
Nothing motivates someone like the prize of getting to wear goggles at the end of it. We did the same thing with Baby Fox, if she swam across the pool, he was allowed to wear goggles in the pool.
Then this happened, over and over. I can see what our summer is going to look like. Oh and in case you were wondering, yes we heated the pool, otherwise it was in the 60's.
A few weeks back I mentioned that Mr. and I went snowboarding...well this is me falling down the moutaing, gracefully? Maybe not, but it was funny.
Second time, phew, didn't fall, so much pressure when you're being filmed. It doesn't seem like we're going fast, but to me it seems super fast. Perhaps that means I can actually go fast, since in reality it's not that fast? Did that make sense? Hmmm...???
Alright that's enough embarrassment for one post. If you're having a bad day, hope this made you smile/giggle a little.
Bonus Thursday: Over on The Blended Blog talking about styling a pearl necklace two ways
Don't forget to watch my new Hair 101 video series I've started. So far we've covered how to use a bobby pin and how to tease your hair, if you have any requests let me know and I'll work on it for you!
Last weekend was the started our first baseball season. Practices on Friday and games on Saturdays. Next weekend Mini Fox starts soccer so we're going to be knee deep in kid sports in a week...
Baby Fox was the cutest little baseball player ever.
Getting ready for pictures:
Then came opening parade all the kids were too cute.
Then a couple of hours later we played the longest game ever...who knew 4 innings would take 2 hours!
He loved it and can't wait for his next practice and game today and tomorrow.
This past week we did a playdate on Sunday, it was so much fun, just us mom and the kids. The play place we went to was super small, so no matter where you were standing you could see your kids, so we actually got to chat...which was great for a change. And I only took one picture, darn. The kids were so cute too. This girl is showing me good form.
Then we headed to lunch, the kids were great and we got to chat some more.
That night we got invited to go see a show at the Improv, it started out shaky but had me laughing at parts. So happy to have found some friends where we live that we can go on double dates with. Super hard to find other couples with kids where everyone gets along right?
As always, I'm linking up with The Blended Blog on Friday Loves, where we link up our favorite things from around the blog world. Because we all know we need just one more blog to read on the daily.
I loved how these four ladies copied each others looks. Each of them did a fabulous job styling outfits that looked like each other. Check out who copied who.
I just discovered Cecila's blog recently and she has the best crafts, DIY's, recipes, home stuff, what can she not do? She has a series of 15 minutes fixes and this week she show cased a St. Patrick's Day pennant banner. Super cute and most stuff you probably have on hand, why am I even buying this stuff from the $1/$3 section of Target, I could just make it!
As always, some videos I've been loving this week. This one made me cry...happy tears. We as mothers are so hard on ourselves, we ONLY see what we do wrong, how we feel inside, meanwhile all the little humans we're raising, really only see the good things we do and rarely remember the mistakes. So cut yourself some slack, I know I'm going to try to.
This was super cute, they bought fast food and then had to reinvent it into different food, and then serve it to someone...they are the cutest couple, and awesome singers too, so there's that.
What are you up to this weekend? We have baseball and ballet...then we'll see what other kind of trouble we can get ourselves into.
I am so excited that Lizzie , Sierra , Danielle , Emily, and Lindsayare starting a new link up. I missed last month due to traveling last minute, but I'm hoping to join them each month. This month they've asked us to describe a time that you were really lucky.
You know I haven't shopped at Victoria's Secret in so long, but back when Baby Fox was little, I had bought a few things from there, and they gave me one of those cards, come back between this time and this time and you can win up to $500 gift card. Usually people win a free pair of underwear or a free bra. I had almost forgotten I had it, and I was in the car ready to go to the mall, and remembered I had it and ran up stairs to grab that card. I figured, a free pair of underwear is better than nothing right? So I'm at the mall, and turn in the card and the sales lady looks at me sort of funny, I ask if everything is okay. She says yes, that she's never actually seen any win before. Then handed me the card and said, you just won a $500 gift card!
Woo hoo! Made this mama's day, and I really needed it too, I was feel down in the dumps and this really perked me back up. Can I tell you how hard it is to spend $500 in one afternoon with a baby? Because the promotion was ended I had 3 days to spend it. So the next day we drove out to a bigger Victoria's Secret, one that carried bathing suites and workout gear, which made it super easy to spend.
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!
It's that time again, Kids Behind the Blog with Crystal, Beth, Meghan, Jessica, and Stephanie. I just love this link up and look forward to seeing all of the other kids answers. I feel like I'm watching all these kids grow up right before my eyes! Click here for all of the other KBTB posts.
