Happy Monday Foxy Friends! I almost forgot about this post, so I didn't actually do any shopping until Friday! Oops! But I did find some stuff, but you're going to have to wait to see what I did with everything for another post, since I didn't have time to do anything with it yet.
We didn't have a ton of time this time, so the kids and I headed out to Target and found so many good things in the dollar three dollar spot.
Here are some of the things that I found that I really wanted to get, but they didn't quite make the cut.
I wanted this sign, but the kids wanted another, so they won.
How cute is this pillow?
This is super cute chalkboard pumpkin, but I had no idea where I would put it...hmm...
So what did I end up with?
Some Halloween window clings, can't beat those for $1 each. Also this banner. I have some fun plans for this, so stayed tuned, don't worry, it's not that big, but I'm excited to use my new Cricut.
I think I'm going to use this for a front door wreath, just have to figure out what.
So how much did I spend?
Banner: $3
Spider Sign: $3
3 window clings: $3
Total: $9.83
Under the budget, woo hoo! So what did you get with your $10? Go see what the other ladies got with their $10.

Happy Friday! My first long week in a LONG time!With all of the trips we've been taking and then taking the following monday off, it's probably been about 2 months since I worked a full 5 days!
Bonus: Check out my kitchen tour on Youtube. I'll have a full post with pictures on Tuesday.
Linking up with The Blended Blog again to share some blogs I've been loving around the internet.
Christy from R Squared and this week her blog post really hit close to home. She's talking about letting her kids go as they grow up. Letting them spread their wings a bit and explore the world around them. Man it's super hard to do that, and not want to watch their ever move.
Susannah from Simple Moments Stick, wrote another post that was so, so true. She writes about finding friends in the Mama stage in life, and having to open yourself up and love others and they will find you too. So, true. So many times I was crying to my mom and sister about not having friends in my area, and I got out, asked people to play dates and I finally found my tribe.
Rochelle from Pink Sole, put together a 20 piece Fall capsule wardrobe and knocked it out of the park. Such a good combination and great pieces that will last for years to come! Go check out her blog for all 20 outfits. I might have to actually put together her capsule wardrobe and try it out for 20 days...who's with me?
This girl started her second year of preschool.
Her school is walking distance, usually we drive, but she really likes when we can walk.
All the shoes lined up outside.
Looking forward to a great year of growing, learning and loving.
Last Thursday I went to celebrate my birthday with my tribe. So thankful for these ladies, one is missing, as she had a cold and left already, but so happy we get to hang out and watch our kids grow up together.
Friday this girl celebrated her birthday at preschool. Her teacher made all of her favorite food and even sent a plate home for Baby Fox, as it is his favorite too.
For her party, we wanted to give away cupcakes as the party favor, and my dad suggested we do cups with lids, and turn them upside down so that they cupcake is sitting on the lid and the cup part is covering the cupcake. Genius, although he saw it at a cupcake store. If you look at the center of the table you can see one, a pink cupcake is in it.
I told him to find all the materials, as I didn't want to drive around town to hunt it down. He ended up going to Corner Bakery and asking them to buy 24 watercups with lids, and the manager said, sure and then only charge him $1, then he went to the Dollar Tree and picked up some Frozen stickers, which we used on the cups and then we cut out the pacakging and used those pictures in her birthday banner, wins all around!
Friday night we set up her balloon door. We usually try to decorate the doors for the kids...unfortunately she woke up at 3:30am having to pee, opened the door and screamed "MAMA!" and crying...poor thing! Plus she has 102° temp...
Saturday morning we redid the door so she could open it again, then headed out to Baby Fox's soccer game. The boys did great, we are actually watching real soccer, with positions and passing and stuff, it's pretty fun.
Afterwards we headed to the beach, to hang out with some friends who were camping, we didn't camp, but we hung out all afternoon.
The kids found some other kids to dig holes with, universal kid language, help me dig, we're friends now.
Stomp rocket was a hit.
Camp fire with lots of friends, the best.
Had to walk over to take a picture of the gorgeous sunset.
Sunday, I know so much, and it's only Sunday, we celebrated Mini Fox's birthday, but I'll leave that for a post of it's own. Here's a picture with the birthday girl.
As always, here are things around the internet that I've been loving.
You guys, I'm sure you've already heard already, but I am SOOOO excited, and even more excited that it's going to be an on going collab with them, each season getting something new, what?! I'm going to be running out of storage room for all of the decorations.
I know I always post about him, but he always comes out with great songs. This one is super awesome, so many costume changes, I can't even imagine how long it took them to put this together! It's one song, sung in 24 different genres.
You know you were singing along to every single word of this. Takes me back, loved that show!
This is a sponsored post brought to you by Uncommon Goods. As always the opinions are completely my own based on my experience.
Hello Foxy Friends! This weekend we are headed to a wedding, which got me thinking, we have very few weddings to attend these days. Mostly it's baby showers, and even then those are few and far between. It's so hard coming up with good gifts these days, whether it be for a wedding, anniversary or new baby. Enter Uncommon Goods, I love that they support artists and designers that are run by the designer themselves and over 50% of what they sell are handmade. I love when I can support someone doing what they love.
When it comes to buying gifts for Mr., I am always stumped and recently have not been getting him anything. Bad I know! I love the unique gift ideas that Uncommon Goods has. Mr. is a music guy, we met when he was in a band, so I think these would be pretty awesome to give him. Him and my uncle are always trying to get notes to play on their wine glasses, this actually might be what I get my aunt and uncle for Christmas. Some unique ideas for the man in your life:
Now for the ladies. Finding an anniversary gift for me is crazy repetitive. I always like clothes and shoes, but one can only buy that so many times? Sometimes it's nice to get something you didn't know you wanted. For me I'm sentimental and like cheesy things like this. Here are a few gifts ideas for the ladies.
And then there are the things that you just want to get for yourself, like this and this. I might have one of those things coming my way. I'll let you know what I think of it, thanks Uncommon Goods for sending it to me!
There are also so many great gifts for hostess gifts for all of those holiday parties coming up! What would you pick out for yourself?

I have been trying to find an OTS dress for, forever. I tried this one, but I felt like I was in a straight jacket. I really wanted to love it too! But when I saw this dress, I knew it was the perfect transition dress to get me to OTS stuff. It's all separate, there is no pulling anything down or up...perfect. I love that it is long sleeve so it feels like it is keeping you warm, when in fact it probably isn't, but we'll look past that.
Dress / Shoes (50% off right now, such a good deal, and they are SO comfy!)
I love the bell-ish sleeves on this too.
I swept my hair to the side and bobby pinned it to my head so it would stay over.
I won the necklace in a giveaway, but can't seem to find the info on the necklace. Darn! Like those tan lines? We had just come home from a day at the beach.
The necklace is so dainty and cute, if I find out the seller I'll let you guys know!
Don't forget to enter my giveaway for a Chromebook! Click here to enter!
Thanks everyone for continuing to link up and make this link up a success!
