Happy Wednesday Foxy Friends! Today I thought I would share some Easter outfits for the whole family. Surprisingly it was super hard to find things that I liked. Normally I go crazy and have a bazillion outfits I want to style, not so much this year. But I was able to put this together. Yellow isn't my color, but I think it looks great on so many people. I went a little more casual as it's typically pretty warm here for Easter.

Today I'm linking u with Shay and Ericka for another round of How We...today's topic is mom fail and lived to discuss. Gosh where to start with this one....haha.
So we're at Legoland...we are with my cousin and her two kids.
Her husband was working, so it was her, her two kids, myself, my two kids and Mr. Mr. is being the crazy guy he is an entertaining the kids via, driving the stroller like a madman. My cousin rented a stroller from Legoland, while we were using our double Bob. He had all the kids (yep all 4 of them) in the rented stroller. We had a fast pass, for lack of better word, that would get us into the fast track lane of all the rides. The kids wanted to go on this shooting game that has an Indian Jones type feel to it. So we all race to what we thought was that fast pass entrance. The man told us, no it's over there, so we all race over there. All of us thinking that Mini Fox was with us...so we're in front of the line, and we're discussing who is riding with who on the ride...when suddenly we realize, Mini Fox is missing. Mr. and I immediately start running toward where we last were (about 50 feet), and we see Mini Fox crying hysterically running towards us...thank goodness! All in all, it was probably 2-3 minutes she was missing! But really 20 seconds from the time we discovered it! We asked her what she was doing for those 1-2 minutes before she started running...she said...I was running in circles. Suffice to say, we always keep a good count of who is where now!
Please tell me one of your stories so I don't feel so bad!
When I saw this on Keri's blog I knew that I wanted to participate, stuff like this kicks my butt into gear and gets stuff done! This week we're working on bathrooms. Truth be told I did this declutter last year for my year of organization, but never posted pictures, so I thought this would be that perfect opportunity.
Okay here is what you need to clean out your bathroom. Remember it's always going to get worse before it gets better.
Step 1:
Take every single thing out of the cabinets. I tried to categorize as I was cleaning out, and then also purging, you know things that had a layer of oil or was a funky color went immediate in the trash.
Step 2:
Figure out what sort of storage you want. Ideally this step is done after you figure out what you have and what you need. But for my purposes, I knew I needed more drawers, so I bought this drawer system, and then bought a variety of different size drawers to go in it, so I could pick and choose. This worked out perfect for me. I just returned what I didn't use.
Next time to organize what you are going to potentially want in each drawer.
Step 3:
Make drawers and start organizing. I know easier said than done, but it can be done!
And then 6 hours later you're done! Okay it took me that long, but I did stop to make dinner and feed the kids...you know parenting stuff.
Now I just need to get our cabinets re-stained and I would be golden.
I know easier said than done, but in reality, when you're done you just feel better about yourself.
I also made a video on how exactly I organized my bathroom, in case you are a more of a show and tell type person.
Hi Foxy Friends! Happy Friday. Today we have Baby Fox's parent/teacher conference, I'm sure it will go great, he loves school, especially math. Have today off, not sure what I'm going to do, gym...and then shopping? Blog stuff? Filming stuff? Hmmm...what to do, what to do... anyway, onto my favorites from the week!
Last weekend we went to Medieval Times...it was my first time and man was it fun! Lots of cheering and eating and laughing for all involved.
So funny, Mini Fox said she wanted to wear a princess dress, so we texted our friend and said that she was going to be wearing a princess dress and to bring one too...both girls ended up picking the same princess, how funny is that?
Our friends daughter was crowned Queen of the Tournament, so I got them to quickly take a picture with Mini Fox. Our knight threw Mini Fox a carnation from the arena.
Our knight battling it to the very end to win, so cool that I captured the sword spark!
As soon as it was over both of my kids said, when can we go again? Oh and if you are thinking of going, the food is REALLY good too. Considering how may people they are feeding!
In other things going on in our world. Monday Mr. worked from home and sends me these pictures...
Looking closer...a little lizard got himself stuck in our pool overflow...poor thing. (that drain for reference is about 5 inches wide)
Don't worry, Mr. made up a little escape route for him...Mini Fox wanted to use her blue shovel...I think they came up with a better solution.
We're happy to report we thinking he got away. There was no lizard in our pool filter (Mr. checked a few hours later), and no lizard sunk to the bottom of the pool...so let's just continue to think he got out and is living a happy lizard life catching bugs.
Last friday I made fish tacos...we decided we didn't know what seasoning to try, so what did we do? We tried a little of each. All of it was awesome!
Saturday I met up with my bestie and her son, but while we were waiting I took this picture of the kids, and while they were wrapping their arms around each other (I did not prompt that) Mini Fox says...My bestest bud ever. Awwww, so sweet.
I couldn't help but take a picture of this the other night. I love sleeping kids. It's totally not creepy right?
Baby Fox finally got a hair cut...phew, it was getting long and my dad asked if he could take him. Looking sharp Baby Fox.
You guys I love me a good subscription box, and it's taking all of my inner strength to not get this one seriously....it combines my two favorite things, candy and subscription boxes. The ONLY reason I don't get this...the sugar...man I would eat it all myself and then feel super guilty about eating that much sugar...every..month...anyway, would you get this? Or do you want to get me this?
How awesome that they are making this a movie?! And a grown up Christopher Robin...I'm so excited to take the kids to see it, all of my childhood memories are flooding back right now.
And what?! I can't wait for this, I want more of both of these trailers!
What are you guys up to this weekend? We were going to head towards Legoland, but it is suppose to rain...so we'll see what happens. Time change Sunday, and then I have to wake up at 3:15am for work...so it's like 2:15am...I might die next week. For whatever reason the Spring forward is always so much harder to adjust to. Anyone else?

Hi Foxy Friends. Welcome to another week of The Blended Blog Style! Taking a break from the style link up because today I'm the co-host with Anne for Currently. Today's topics Planning, Seeing, Making, Pretending, Wearing. Head on over to The Blended Blog to link up your fashion post though.
Planning:
What our summer is going to look like. So far I've come up blank. We were going to plan a trip to Hawaii, but Mr. found out Southwest is going to start offering flights to Hawaii, so he figured flights would go down...so I think we're going to wait on that one...
We're going to try and get a campsite in Yosemite, so planning on camping this summer.
And lastly, trying to plan out the camps that Baby Fox is going to take this summer. So much planning and schedules haven't come out yet, so this planner is itching to pull the trigger and I can't because no one else likes to plan 6 months in advance, haha!
Seeing: Medieval Times! We went for the first time last weekend and it was AMAZING. So much fun and you know what? The food was REALLY good. Much better than I thought it was going to be, that's for sure.
Our knight won the battle and the friend we were with got crown the queen of the tournament, so I got them to snap a quick picture with Mini Fox.
Making:
My very first palette sign! I just started doing it, and the person I'm making it for might (but probably not) read this...so I won't give it away, but I'm super excited, the first half turned out pretty good. Home Depot cuts wood for you, helpful when you can't fit a 6' board in your car.
Pretending:
I'm going on vacation soon, when in fact I'm working 50+ hours a week...Looking forward to October for a 5 day girls vacation though! Can't wait to see these girls again!
Wearing:
I wore this to Mom's Night out last month and it was the perfect outfit for keeping my legs warm, and still being able to wear a dress even though it was slightly chilly outside. I also added a moto jacket, not shown.
