Fall FabFitFun Box

Happy Thursday Foxy Friends! Good news, the project I thought was due tomorrow, is actually due next week, so I'm not stressing as much, so that's good :) Anyway, on to more fun things, like the FabFitFun box, have you heard of it? It's a seasonal box that comes with anything between scarves to beauty products. They also have add ons, so if you see something you like you can grab it for a great price. I put together a video of what I got in my box. It's so fun to get 4 times a year. I think I might even upgrade to the yearly plan, save a few bucks, I'm already doing it, might as well right? Okay onto the video!



If you want to get a box yourself, here's my affiliate link, and you get $10 off too if it's your first time! So go try it out, it's super fun to get a fun box of beauty stuff in the mail!

Common Threads Challenge Week 2

I've mentioned this a few times, but this month I am participating in the Common Threads Challenge, where we pick 5 things from our closet and then each day have to use one of those 5 things and pick our outfit around that. So here is day 4 through 10

Dressember

Back in June or was it July, Stephanie came up with this idea to wear more of her dresses and skirts in her closet. She realized that she had a ton that she never wore, so what else do you do when you have a blog? You ask all of your blogging friends to join in. We all said we didn't think we could do a full 30 days, so we settled on 10. I made my 10, and then forgot to take pictures of 2 outfits, so really I got 12 days, woo hoo!

*Some of the links are affiliate links and I will  either receive a small commission, at no cost to you, if you click on it or if you make a purchase from one of these links, I may also receive a commission on the sale of the product. By purchasing through Foxy's Domestic Side, you're helping me to continue creating fun things for this space.

So what did I wear? Here ya go.


Date night dress.


This dress is one of my favorite Spring time purchases.









So what I get from doing this challenge, EVERYONE should own a jean jacket, apparently I wear it a lot as a completer piece. Perhaps I need some new completer pieces...hmmm... Also I love floral and stripes. 

So did you try out the challenge? How did you do?

Day In The Life: Fall Time

Happy Monday Foxy Friends! I hope you all had a good weekend! The Blended Blog ladies and I decided that today would be a good day to show you guys a day in our life during the Fall. So link up your days, so we can all be nosy and see what you have all been up to. I decided to document Saturday October 7th.

Note: This is not really a normal day, as we don't go to fundraisers every weekend, haha!

Another note: It was 95° outside.

Okay enough notes, let's get started.

8:30am - Mini Fox comes bounding into our bedroom wanting snuggles.

8:35am - I get up because I'm feeling sick and want to take some cold medicine.

8:37am- I come back upstairs to find Baby Fox in the bed too, so we get some family snuggle time in.

8:45am - We have to get up and going for soccer, but first I must netty pot...have you tried it before?


9:10am - I am down stairs and the kids want waffles for breakfast.


9:35am Waffles are done


10:15 We hustle out the door and get to Baby Fox's soccer game, there is a good 30 minutes before the game starts...


10:45am: It's 95° and in our rush to get out the door, we forget a rubber band for Mini Fox's hair, I find a clip in my purse, so I french braid her hair and use the clip, she wants to know what the clip looks like, so I take this picture.


11:05am - Game time


12:30pm, game ends and we head back to the house for some lunch.

The kids request Mr. to make some hot dog art. Baby Fox wanted a smiley face with hair and the ketchup is a wide tongue.


Mini Fox wanted Minnie Mouse in a car. I think he did pretty darn good.


12:50pm - My house is a wreck and I contemplate what to do...I decide to do nothing.


12:52pm: I decide to add one last touch to the mantel before getting ready to go to our fundraiser.


1:00pm-2:45pm: I run around trying to get everything done. The sign I made for the fundraiser needs to be fix...so I fix that, and it takes forever. Meanwhile, I have to wrap a gift for the kids to take to a birthday party, and do full make up and hair for the fundraiser.  (bad sign...)


Mr. takes off with the kids to drop them off at my parents house. I pack up the car and get ready to leave. Small car make sit hard to get the sign in...but I got it in...phew!


3:45pm-5pm: We get to the Nixon Library a few minutes late and we're off and running decorating and setting up.



This is what I as in charge of...full post on this coming soon!


Made it, the room looks fantastic!


6:00pm: The event is starting and we're starving and the appetizers are so dang good! This is a grilled cheese with tomato soup, it had to be documented, Mr. and I followed this guy around taking all the samples...hehe.


6:30pm Mr. and I take a breather outside.



7:00pm: We find the organizer of the function, give a little high five that it's going well.


7:15pm: Decide we want another drink. Moscow Mules are good!


7:30pm: Take one last picture of the outside before heading back in. This is the same picture from above, but at night time.


7:30pm: Head inside to start the evening.


9:38pm: Get picture from parents.


10pm: Decide to head home for the night, not feeling well and need to sleep. I hope we raised a ton of money for Thomas House! Last picture of the evening.


Good night! This was definitely not a normal Saturday, but it was a fun one! So glad that my wine pull did well and that all the wine was gone an hour into the event!
