$10 Target Haul: March Edition

Back linking up with Becky, Beth, Courtney. Elizabeth, Rachel, Stephanie, Tif Whitney, and Whitney to show what we got for just $10 at Target.

I actually got to Target by myself randomly last week, it was glorious! Totally unexpected, but really nice. I went around Target finding good deals, and boy was there lot of good deals to be had! I was taking pictures of them all, but decided to just show you what I got instead. I feel like I did really good this month!

Breaking it down I got some glow in the dark stars, two packages of 12 pack of plastic eggs, a alphabet bingo game and some shamrock gels to put on the windows! So much stuff right?! The kids were super excited when I got home. Somehow Baby Fox convinced Mini Fox that him getting the stars and her getting the shamrocks was a good deal. So after dinner off to their rooms we went.

Baby Fox exchanged a few of his stars for a few of her shamrocks.

She decided to put hers on her mirror.

And wanted to put one of the shooting stars on her mirror

And the rest on her ceiling.

Baby Fox opted to put all of them on his ceiling.

He did the planets at school earlier this year, and just a few weeks ago asked to put them on his ceiling. Such a good idea! The glow in the dark stars just adds some more fun. Granted the big moon fell off the first night, but the rest of them are still up there.

In total, using my cartwheel app, I spent $9! I could have done $1 but then with tax I would have gone over, so I stuck with my $9. Does that mean next month I get $11?

I'm Guesting Posting On Simply Annie

Hi all! I know, I know, it's Saturday and I'm posting, who am I?! I am guest posting over at Annie's blog, Simply Annie today! Although a new blogger friend, she's just the sweetest. She and her husband have the cutest little girl. She's a yoga lovin', doesn't sugar coat real kind of gal who you'll all love!

I'm over on her blog today talking about getting a workout in with kids. How are there enough hours in the day?! You have to make time, obviously, but I tell you how I try to fit in some exercise into my schedule!

Here's that time I was rushing out the door to get to the gym for my class and wore every color in the rainbow, oops! But hey, I got it done!

Taken after class and most people were gone

So head on over to Annie's blog to check out my post!

Friday Favorites #61

It's Friday again!

Did everyone have a good St. Patty's Day? Anyone do anything? I went out with some girlfriends, not because of the occasion, but more of a "we need to get out and talk girl stuff". So that's what we did, it was fabulous. So here are my favorites from the week.

In case you missed it, this week on the blog:

 

Monday: Weekend Recap

Tuesday: Wish My Mr. A Happy Birthday!

Wednesday: Style Perspectives Week 3: White Pants

Thursday: Legoland Hotel Review

I love his sweet little voice singing Hush Little Baby. She calls him Coco...

What?! Since when does my kid know how to do this?!

Part of my wear everything in my closet, okay well just for a month, haven't decided if I am going to keep going after March or not...we'll see. But here are my outfits for this week.

Oops I wore the same sweater twice in the same week, I tried on a few sweaters, but none of them looked good on that second day, and I was late to catch my carpool...so I threw it on, not realizing that it was just two days before. Oh well! At least the outfit is different.

I wore my church outfit and then got home and changed into gym clothes, so you got two outfits in one day.

 

I know this is super old, as in 4 months old, but hey it's been popping up a lot lately...needed to share the funny. I showed Mr. and now every time I ask him to do something blog related he says, Instagram Husband, even if it's blog related. He really wants me to run around with a white flag.

Mom's night out. Just randomly happened for St. Patty's Day. We were originally going to go to Dave and Busters, but turns out it's not only St. Patty's Day but it was also the first day of March Madness...they said table wait would be 1.5 hours, no thanks! So we decided to go somewhere else, that didn't have a bar with tv's. We still had a ton of fun.

Legoland Hotel Review

Hello Foxy People! I promise this is the last thing I'm going to review for LEGOLAND.  I briefly mentioned the hotel in my first review. But I'm here to expand on how awesome it is!

ONE

At check-in they give the kids some LEGOLAND slap bracelets, remember those? You can see them on the boys. Those slap bracelets also gets you into LEGOLAND an hour earlier than everyone else.

Make sure you ask what the Lego them of the night is...see #5 for why.

TWO

You get to take the kids on a cool scavenger hunt in which you collect numbers and at the end of the scavenger hunt? You get the combination of the room safe and you get some Mixels to keep.

THREE

The rooms are awesome! Each floor has it's own theme, Pirates, Adventure, and Kingdom and they just added a few Lego Friends rooms. The rooms are really set up great, they are sort of shaped like the letter "E". The first leg has bunk beds for the kids and a private TV that has some Lego channels and shows that aren't available anywhere else. Best part, it can fit three kids! There is a trundle underneath the bunk beds. So families of 5, no need for a roll away!

The Middle leg of the "E" is the bathroom, which of course is themed and has some great Lego creations.

The bottom leg of the "E" is the main bedroom area for the adults which also has a TV.

Here is the hallway that connects all of the rooms: Sorry for the mess, we had 4 kids and 2 adults in here.

FOUR

The rest of the hotel is amazing too. Even if you stay on the first floor you HAVE to take a ride on the elevator. At first it just seems like a normal elevator, but as soon as the door close, the disco ball turns on and disco music plays so the kids can dance their hearts out.

All of the decorations around the hotel are of course made out of Legos.

With every room comes a free breakfast. It's buffet style and it's amazing and really good. They have everything you could possibly want in a breakfast. They have an omelet station, pancakes, waffles, eggs, bacon galore, oatmeal, cereal, Danishes, yogurt, you name it they have it.



Plus they have entertainment walking around for the kids:

A knight, who was super nice and really engaged with the kids, staying in character the whole time.

They also had a Jester aka balloon artist. Who was amazing.

FIVE

We can't forget the nightly entertainment for the kids! After a full day at the park head over to the bar/ship area for some fun and relaxation. Make sure you get there quick to ensure that you get a seat, so you're not having to stand around the whole time. We got there maybe 30 minutes before the entertainment started and were fine finding a seat.

See not that many seats

Now that you are seated, and you know what the theme of the night is, have your kids start building! Of course you can help too.

Soon the entertainment starts, you can sneak off to the restaurant, order some food and bring it back to eat...might as well be comfortable while you are watching.

They entertain the kids for a good 2.5-3 hours! No joke they do a magic show, the Lego contest, teach them how to fight like a pirate, it's fantastic.

Baby Fox got picked to help with the magic show. I find that if you're kid is in the front and center, and sort of sitting on their knees waving their hand they get picked. At least that's what I told Baby Fox to do, and he got picked!

So what are you waiting for?! Go make some reservations and get yourself to LEGOLAND!!

Style Perspectives Week 3: White Pants and Hair Challenge Week 11

Hi Foxy Fashionistas! Another week of the Style Perspectives, but guess what?! It's my week to show off my White Pants look, so head on over the The Blended Blog to check out my post! Spoiler: there are 4 outfits and I styled an all white one! Sneak Peak: Look I even did my hair, go check out a close up of what I did.

Last week, everyone did fantastic with their Shades of Pink:

Onto the Hair Challenge: Week 11!

Wednesday I curled my hair and just threw I up in my favorite easy poof...I don't even know what it's called

Thursday my Mom's friend has sent me this link of a video, she wanted me to do my hair like that, it was just a simple pull through braid. I think it turned out pretty good. Next time I'll try to get the spacing a little more even.

Here it is again without the scarf, I found in the picture it was sort of in the way. But even through the tail end of it, it's all rubber bands and pull through stuff, no actually braiding happened in the making of this do. So those of you who can't braid, do this!

Saturday I tried a pull through waterfall braid.  I don't think it turned out that great, I think next time I'll have to do more "braids" so that it looks better, and pull on them a little more to make them bigger.

Sunday, before church I tried three different styles and NOTHING was working, so I gave up and tried a messy bun, which of course looks, terrible! But I went with it...

Looks good from here right? There was a little braid at the base that you can't see...

But side view, YIKES! Apparently I needed to look at the side when I looked in the mirror, oops! I later redid it and it looked much better.

Monday I tried a side braid. I realized that I like side braids on my left side, not my right side. I've always had them lay on my right side and for whatever reason when I did this it ended up being on my left and I didn't have any problems all day. So if you're having issues with your side braid try switching sides, it might just work for you too!

Despite how it looks, this really is a braid all the way down, not a twist like it looks.

Tuesday I worked from home and did this really quickly before going to my ankle doctor appointment.

I really like this, it gets it off my face and looks really pretty from the back. I thought I needed my hair to be curls for this to look good, but I think it looks good just like this.

Now go check out how everyone else styled their white pants!
