Gifts She Really Wants

Hello Foxy Friends.  I hope you Americans had a good belly stuffing day of Thanks with family and friends. I'm back for day 3 of Blogmas! Today we're all sharing another gift guide. I decided since I have already done gifts for kids, favorite gifts to give,  beauty gifts for her, and gifts for him, I would share my gift list. I would be super happy with any of these things under the tree, hear that Mr., hint, hint!

1. Ever since The Blended Blogs trip to Canada and half the group was wearing Adidas Superstars, I needed a pair too!

See what I mean, goes with so many outfits...the options are endless, I need these!

2. I have always strayed from long sweaters, but after seen a few vertically challenged fashion bloggers wearing them, I"m thinking I need to rethink my stance. I think this grey sweater would be a perfect start.

3. Is there anything better than being comfy when it's cold and rainy out. Why not be stylish too, this loose sweater meets all the criteria for being a perfect lazy, lounge-y day sweater.

4. I've owned a couple of pairs of this brand of pj's. They are so stinkin' soft, and so worth the price! I don't have any PJ's that look like this, so it would be the perfect edition to my growing collection.

5. I really want a soft box light to do product shoots and to light some of my YouTube videos. For under $100 I think this is a great deal and can help me shoot at night, instead of waiting for the weekends. With day lights savings time ending, I don't get much time to get stuff done!

6. I have wanted a Diva Ring Light for a while now. I figure I've wanted one the last year, it's not a phase and I should probably get it, that's how that works right? Again this will help with YouTube videos and with doing stuff at night. A whole new world if I can film at night.

7. Funny story about my hair dryer, when my sister and I shared a bathroom, and when she left for college we had to get another set of everything, since we shared everything.  I bought a travel size hair dryer...20+ years ago, and while it still works, it's not the best, and I know there is better out there. I have wanted another hair dryer for the last 5+ years but never found one I liked, but this travel hair dryer is PERFECT! I might have already bought it. It's on Ulta and Sephora's Black Friday sale for $99. Seems like a lot of money, but if you think about it, if I keep this one for another 20 years, that's only $5 a year...seems like a good deal to me....#girlmath

8. Now that we're out of the diaper bag phase (for a while now), I've been using my camel back packback, but I'm ready for a nicer looking backpack to carry around while I'm out with the kids. For under $50, I think this backpack would be perfect.

9. I saw this Eye Shadow Palette and I think I HAVE to have it. It has such pretty colors in it, colors which I don't already own, so that means even though I have 6 other palettes I need this one too, right?

10. I have a few friends with this Bootie, it looks so good on, and they say it's comfy...which means I need them to, plus I don't have anything in this particular color...and it's on sale. See them on my friend Shelly, don't they look fantastic?

Okay, so these are 10 things on my list of things I want for Christmas. What is on your list?

10 Gifts for Him

Happy Tuesday! Coming back from a 4 day weekend  is always hard. In case you missed it yesterday, I'm starting 12 days of Blogmas (skipping some days for Thanksgiving this weekend), the first topic is gifts for Him. I previously did educational gifts for kids, and beauty gifts for her, so now I'm doing gifts for him.

I don't know about you, but I always have trouble buying gifts for my hubby/Dad/brother...and the list continues. What the heck do you get these guys? So here is my attempt of what to get those men in your life. Let's

1. For the guy who loves grilling and wants to try and electric smoker try this one, it's more resaonably priced and he can figure out if he wants to upgrade to a more expensive one later. Don't forget the smoking chips!

2. I love a good leather jacket for a man, but if real leather isn't his thing then try this faux leather jacket, both have a great look.


3. This is Mr.'s favorite t- shirt and long sleeve tee, they are super soft and so comfortable to wear. These are actually the shirts he makes a point to wear when we go visit new borns, cause he says they are soft and cuddly and babies want to cuddle him because of it...and you know what? It works every time, he puts them to sleep in no time.

4. For those colder climate places these pajama pants are perfect.

5. We recently got the Amazon Echo and have been loving it. Love that you can link your shopping lists to it, and when you need something you say "Alexa put milk on the list" and she adds it to the list on my phone. So awesome. The Amazon Dot is a smaller version of it, it's pretty awesome too.

6. I have gotten Mr. Bose products a couple of times, I've gotten then speaker and the headphones they are always a good thing to get the guy who has everything. The sound is amazing, you can't beat it.

7. If you get the Amazon Echo or Dot, might as well get something to go with it, this Programmable Thermostat is pretty cool and can be programmed into your Amazon product.

8. Okay this one might seem silly but it TOTALLY works, saved us once and then a co-worker who was broken down, save him from having to wait for help. This Portable Car jump Jumper, really should be in everyones car. It can jump your car without having to have someone else do it for you. It also has some cables to charge your phones if you are even in a situation that you would need that.

9. Okay I admit I have this one in my car, you just never know when you'll need a Portable Compressor. I use it mainly for pumping up tires for bikes and strollers, and once I used it to inflate a blow up mattress.

10. I love these watches, I think they are so great for any guy. Mr. doesn't like watches but I know several men in my life that would love one of these. They come in silver, gold, and black.

$10 Target Haul: November Edition

I'm back again, with another $10 Target haul. You know what, when I went to Target, the Dollar Spot, or rather $3 spot was almost compeletly empty...see what I mean? They must have been changing over from Halloween to Thanksgiving/Christmas...so I had to go find stuff elsewhere.

First I headed over to the jewelry department to try and find something there...I did find this necklace, but it didn't compel me enough to buy them.

Then I tried over in clothes, they're clearance rack was seriously lacking...nothing there.

 Time was not on my side, as I was here by myself, but had to get back home to go somewhere afterwards, and I had several other stops to make...so after searching high and low and coming up emtpy handed, I settled on some random things that we needed in the house.

I picked up the Sharpies, because who doesn't love those, and I used up all my Sharpies doing a Wine Cork Pull (eventually I'll blog about that). And I had initally gotten the glitter paint as a stocking stuffer for the girl, but Baby Fox was going through my bags and saw it...and announced, hey it's glitter paint! I knew I couldn't then put it in the stocking, because for some reason Baby Fox thinks Santa leaves the stockings too. We never told him that.

So that's it, here is the price break down.

Sharpie: $3.99
Glitter Paint: $5.49

Tax: $0.78

Total: $10.26

So I went over a little, stupid tax. I should really get the red card, but I never remember to bring a check to tie it to my account...So what did you get for your $10?

Go Check out what the other ladies are buying.

Baby Fox has been super busy, he played his last soccer game this past weekend. For whatever reason our league didn't do pictures this year? Crazy right? But I took one of him...so that counts, I guess? No team picture, boo!

Team party was this week and the coach had some great things to say about him. Sad that next year they are changing the rules so he won't be able to be on his team any more. He misses the cut off by 6 days...that stinks doesn't it?

He got his second strip on his yellow belt this month in karate (wouldn't let me take a picture) and then after class he went to a STEM class and built this by himself...his teacher was super proud of him.

The other day Mr. came out of his office and found this on the ground.

It's says: Dear Daddy, I hope you have a great day at work. I will see you when you get home and the alien spider babies are coming from you (inside joke between the two of them) From Baby Fox.

 The other night he wanted to set a trap, so he put his leopard on his door to fall on someone (me) when they came in his room.

Every year we got to Hallmark and let the kids pick out an ornament. This was by far the fastest year they've picked one out.

Not the ornament he ended up with, after we went to pay and they told us we had to buy a power cord and be able to plug it in somewhere on the tree, umm?? Huh? Who does that? Put a battery in that thing and call it a day.

So he ended up with this one.

Then we went back to the house and we might have decorated a tree.

The boxes are starting to pile up people...yep they've been sitting there for a few days, just can never remember to open them.

As always, linking up with The Blended Blog for a Friday Loves where we share things around the blogger world that we love.

Erika from The Slaughters, wrote this post that really spoke to me. Bottom line she says this: I hope this reminds us all that no matter how small the task, our big God can work in mighty ways.  Even something as simple and routine as packing a lunch. You really have to go read the whole thing. From now on I will remember that even something as mundane as packing a lunch might have a bigger impact then I think.


Isn't her family so cute?

 

I feel like I haven't done this in a while, but here are some random things on the internet that I've been loving.

Oh my gosh, I don't even know what my life would look like if I said yes to everything to my kids.

Have you seen this yet? I've watching ever single episode of this show with Mr. It's our thing. I can't believe it has been 300 episodes! Anyone else still watch?

This lady created a house so that film crews could use it, it's been in over 1800 movies and tv shows! How cool is that?

So what are you up to this weekend? Come back Monday I have a fun post!

Girly Skirt + Polka Dots = Winning Outfit

Happy Wednesday Foxy Friends! Today I'm sharing another look with the skirt I bought on a whim. I was trying to find a similar striped skirt to link, while looking at the different patterns I saw this one, and while the stripe one was not so similar, this polka dot one was screaming my name and I purchased it before evening clicking back to my blog. For being $18.99 the quality is amazing. I highly recommend getting it, do size up.
