After my business trip it was nice to be back and see the kids. On Saturday after soccer and baseball we met up with some friends to go see a local high school play, can you guess what it was?

They did such a great job. Belle was amazing, and I hear that she's only a Freshman...man sucks to be anyone else that wants a lead roll at her school for the next 3 years...

Picture with the lovely Bell, we were sad she changed, but she Mini Fox still wanted a picture.

Afterwards we went to our friends for an impromptu dinner and play time, I love that we can do this with them. We were waiting for them here while they dropped someone off.

All of the kids were playing upstairs which meant that the adults got some time to chat...it was the best.

Sunday was full of errands...2 hours of them, and the kids did great, look what was in front of Target.

My car was a wreck, so I had the kids wash it...or wash each other...whatever, they had fun.

Then our first dinner outside, it was awesome and I see this happen many more times in the next 6 months!

 

 

 MNO, just what the doctor ordered. After the last one got canceled I needed this. We went to an escape room...have you been to one of those? So you have an hour to escape out of room, given random clues hidden within the room...we didn't get out. Oops, but we had a ton of fun!

Then we went to The Melting Pot and gorged ourselves on cheese and chocolate.

As always here are some Friday Loves for The Blended Blog Link Up. Go share your favorite bloggers this week, and share the love.

First up is Jenny from Princess Turned Mom. She wrote an article this week that spoke to my heart. It's hard making friends when you live in a new city, or are just transition from friends with no kids to now you have a kid and they don't. Let's all stick together and support each other shall we?

I'm sure you all know, but the ladies over at The Blended Blog and I all met through Allison's first Style Challenge. She's introducing something completely new, a Girl's Spring and Summer Challenge! How awesome for your tween to really find her style by participating in this challenge. I know you two will have fun with this challenge, so go sign up, here!

I just found The Fitness Marshall this week, his videos popped up in my newsfeed. Seriously so funny, I love this so much. I am fairly certain if I tried this I would look like a drowning rat, but entertaining to watch.

I think I want to try this, although a little too much cheese for me, but definitely going 

to modify this!

Have you seen what Jill from Baby Rabies is doing? She selling her house, buying an RV and a truck and taking it all on the road. This is exactly what Mr. and I have talked about...homeschooling our kids while traveling the world. I'm looking forward to watching their adventure!

Hope you all have a great weekend! We are doing baseball and soccer and then...who knows what! I'll let you know next week.

Fashion Files Jean Vest

Happy Wednesday Foxy Friends! Today is the first Wednesday in May which means the ladies over at The Blended Blog are starting a new series called Fashion Files. Where you find an outfit that you want to recreate or gives you some inspiration and style that.

I decided for my first look I decided to try and find something to style my jean vest with. I've really only styled it twice, here and  here.

I went to pinterest and found this pin. I thought, I have all that stuff, I can do that.

I put it together...and I'm thinking I might need to get a longer vest. It's just not quite there for me. Sometimes you win at outfits and sometimes you don't. Perhaps I need to grow 6 inches...

This is the shirt that I got in Vegas when I went to the blogging conference with The Blended Blog ladies.

I just discovered Anne from  Anne In Residence and she hosts a monthly currently where she gives you the topics to talk about. This month her guest host is Nancy of NY Foodie Family and the questions are:

Baking: Sadly nothing. I did make some chocolate chip cookies the other day for a work friend who I accidently prevented him from going to his birthday lunch, so to make up for it I made him cookies. All was forgiven...actually it was just a bonus for him, he was never that upset to begin with.
 
Listening: I don't have much time to listen to the radio now and days, but I'm loving this guy on YouTube.

These guys are putting out a lot of content, loving this version of this song.

Loving:
Just discovering the boomerang app. I know I'm the last to jump on board, but it's so fun! Expect some more posts about this app.







Remembering:

Last April and meeting up with some of The Blended Blog ladies in Vegas and being so excited that I finally get to hug them again in 16 days. We've only been planning this since our last trip together...13.5 long months!

Thanks for continuing to link up with us! You are what is making this successful. Keep posting and meeting new people!

Tuesday Outtakes: May Edition

When I saw that Lindsay had participated in Tuesday Outtakes I knew that I wanted to join in this month. How many pictures do we take that just don't make the cut, or too much time has passed to post them. Well this is your chance ladies! :)  Linking up with MacKensey and Danielle for some blog outtakes.

This is what happens when Mr. does her hair. I've been trying to get them to let me capture it on video...but so far no luck. One day...one day I will capture these two and their hair antics.

Waiting for sister in ballet..what do you do, but take selfies of course.

I love wearing dark lipstick it's Spring, but then I thought, I want to wear it, and it's MNO, who cares I'm wearing it anyway. Totally okay to do that right? This is the Kylie Lip Kit in Vixen...cause I bought it and never wore it, we make our own rules.

My outfit that night, in case you wanted to see it. The necklace is from my gorgeous friend Jackie. She has her own shop, you should check her out.

These two make me so happy. They are trying to get a better view for the Bellagio show...the background looks fake, but it's real, I promise no green screen.

Back when we went to Park City Mr. found a map in his pocket...from 2012. It was a little tore up, but it got the job done until we could find a whole one.

When you're on a business trip and you need dental floss...you use what you packed for the kids from the previous trip.

I was super loving my make up this day, was sad that I had to take it off, so I took a picture first. haha. Even though you can't really see my eye make up, I thought it look good. Ever have those days when you just don't want to take off your make up because you know it won't ever look like that again, haha.

April Showers Brings May Flowers

Happy Monday Foxy Friends! I hope everyone had a good weekend. After being a week away from the family, I was happy to get home and spend some time with them. If you're coming from The Blended Blog, welcome! Today's Spring Time Fun theme is: April Showers Brings May Flowers. Boy do we have a ton of flowers right now. With how much rain we got this year, we have flowers everywhere, and they are so pretty. Probably won't last too long, but I'm going to enjoy it while they do last. One thing that try to do each year is visit the Carlsbad Flower Fields. I know every Southern California blogger has probably hit this up, but what can I say, it's a great photo op.

This year we went with some friends and I told them I would take pictures of their kids. We got some great kid pictures with them, but not without a lot of fruit snacks...take two more photos and we'll give you some fruit snacks...bribery is everything in these types of situations. It's amazing how well it really works. Could you imagine your boss telling you, well if you write that report for me, I'll give you a milk shake...haha.

This is sort of at the beginning of the fields. You can't even imagine how big this place it...it's mind blowing.

If you ever have a chance to go to the Flower Fields you definitely should. It's so pretty, I wish we could have stayed a little longer, but our bribe also included going to LEGOLAND for the day, haha.

Now hop on over to Andrea to see what sort of Spring Time Fun she's doing.
