Polka Dots Are My Favorite

Hello Foxy Fashion Friends. Quick post today, back from my birthday dinner, belly full and happy. We found a new Mexican Restaurant, which makes me happy since we hadn't been happy with our previous one. Anyway, this week I just did my hair once. I know, getting lazy in my old age, haha.

 

I just love this hair style, I need to work on the side profile, but other than that, it's pretty much exactly how I wanted it.

In case you just really wanted to see a close up of my head, haha!

That's all for this week, I'm sort of feeling uninspired lately...have any ideas on new hair styles you want me to try out? OH and I am doing my hair during the week, just haven't taken any pictures...like yesterday, I got up early and curled my hair and did it half up and forgot to take a picture...darn! Oh well, next week.

Join us each week for a Pick, Pair, Share! Pick one thing from each column and get inspired! Link up down below!

Three Things I Can't Live Without...For My Birthday

Hello Foxy Friends! I'm linking up today with Andrea for her Tuesday Talk, but I thought I would turn it into a birthday edition since today is my birthday! :) I don't normally blog on my birthday, but I thought, hey why not?

Since it's broken down in threes, I thought I would do people, places and things...

Three People I can't live without...for my birthday

Well obviously my family. Yesterday was Baby Fox's first day of Kindergarten, sniff, sniff. Actually I didn't cry...almost did, but kept it together. I think if he had cried going into the classroom I would have lost it, but he was happy and smiling when he went in. So proud of him!

Three places I can't live without....for my birthday

Okay so that's a weird one. But let's say my house, I just love coming home, and this year Mr. and the kids have something up their sleeve. They keep teasing me about a surprise after I get home from work today, I can't wait to see what it is!

We usually go to dinner with my whole family for birthdays, I typically will pick Mexican food, so good! I would pick Chinese food, but we haven't found a good place out here. Actually we're trying a new Mexican place tonight, I hope it's good!

Last years birthday celebration.

Is it cool to say my couch? After dinner I really like going home and sitting on the couch and doing nothing but watch tv and probably eat cake and ice cream...again.

I mean who wouldn't want to sit on this couch?



Three Things I can't Live Without...for my birthday

You know there isn't much on my birthday list this year. I told Mr. that all of my gifts this year can be money to go towards my trip to Toronto to see The Blended Blog Ladies. I am so excited to meet all of them, and to hug each and every one of them, look out Toronto here we come!

Our Vegas trip from this past year. So much fun, so much so that the week we got back we started planning the next trip.

My camera to take pictures of my birthday, haha. Those are important right?

I guess my third thing would be my cell phone, I love getting all of the text messages and FB posts wishing me a happy birthday. Even if FB does remind you it's your birthday, it's still nice to be able to know that they took 2 seconds out of their day to wish you a happy birthday.

So there you have it three People, Places and Things I can't live without...for my birthday.

What is something you can't live without...on your birthday?

Favorite Fall Things

Hello Foxy Friends! Today I'm linking up with Andrea for a little Fall talk, she wants to know what our favorite Fall things are.

 

 

I was at the mall over the weekend and I could not pass up some yummy smelling Fall candles. The kids and I smelled every single one of the candles and these were our favorites.

 

 

School supply shopping. I loved when school would start up and you got to go school supply shopping, starting fresh with new school supplies.

Candy Corn! For some reason even though I can get candy corn whenever I want...it only really tastes good in the Fall. My mom used to keep it out all the time during the Fall. Give me all the Candy Corn!

 

 

 

 

I'm so excited to start wearing some of the clothes that I bought at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Come on cold weather!

 

I bought the grey jeans in black too, they are the most comfortable things you will wear.

 

Sweater // Tunic // Jeans // Jacket

I did buy these with my own money, but linked products are affiliates and I will receive a small commission if you click on it. Thank you for your support! 

 

Family photos. It's one of my favorite things every year. Picking out the outfits, picking the location, everything about them, and figuring out which picture to pick for our Christmas card. It really is part of my favorite things in Fall. As a matter of fact, we're getting our pictures taken on Saturday! The location we want to take them at, you need to start early so that there aren't many people in the background. Hey one thing to check off the list.

 

This is our picture from last year.

 

 

I put together a list of tips to help plan your next family photo outfits! My favorite thing EVER to do!

 

 

What are some of your fall favorite things?

Friday Favorites #84

Happy Friday Foxy Friends! I actually have today off, so I'm off meeting a new blogging friend Jenny, she has such a great blog, you have to go check it out! Anyway, here are some of my favorites from the week.

In case you missed it this week on the blog


Monday: Guest Post over on Whitney's Blog about birth stories.
Tuesday: The World Through Baby Fox's Lens
Wednesday: Swing Dress on Repeat
Thursday: 21 Day Fix - The Good, The Bad and the Ugly

I forgot to show you a picture from Wednesday, Mr. is saying this is his best work EVER...so it had to go in a Friday favorites right? LOL, I know my Blended Blogs ladies are laughing right now.

You guys I won another giveaway! This time through Shelly at The Queen Inbetween! I'm so stinkin excited! I have several friends that have been hounding me to try it, and I was trying to use up my current products before dropping some dough, but now I get to try and it for free! Can I tell you how excited I am? Thank you Shelly for the most awesome start to my weekend!

Went on a much needed Mom Night Out to see, Bad Moms, so funny! We all loved it. We even went to dinner before hand, that never happens.

Some favorites of the kids this week. My hike last Saturday was amazing, my ankle did really well on it's first hike...but the aftermath wasn't so pretty, so we'll be taking it easy on the hikes for a bit...or stretching afterwards...

I love how well they play together.

Some frozen yogurt for our girl and her newly fixed chipped tooth.

Mr. was out doing music stuff so I took the kids swimming they love when I get in the pool...and get my hair wet, since I hardly do it.

This video is just too cute. I was sitting here rooting for him the whole time. And it goes to show you need friends to help lift you up.

I'm fairly certain this is magic...like how did she do that?!

Hope you have a great weekend! We're hanging out with some of my cousins this weekend, so excited to see them and spend some quality time with them.
