happy birthday to me!

today is my golden birthday, which should tell you my age;)

black friday sales are everywhere today, but i am so excited to spend my birthday with family and friends and all things golden (i'm thinking gold decorations at dinner are appropriate!?)

hope you all had a very blessed thanksgiving holiday!

happy black friday shopping to you if you are braving the madness, unless you are sitting at your computer with your coffee in hand enjoying 50% most everything just a click away - you smart shopped you!

GAME DAY

it's game day recap on the blog today along with photo overload!

the whole family braved the weather and we all drove up to stillwater, ok for the biggest game in the big 12 this year - baylor vs. osu. 

it was a family and house divided some were osu grads, some baylor grads. we all played well together but it was a battle for sure! (its a good thing we all know how to tailgate long enough leading up to the game!)  it was so so so cold on saturday, we bundled up and warmed up with a few hottie toddies before the game - but between the wind and the sad baylor loss it was hard to keep warm. 

it was so fun to have the whole family together for the weekend to enjoy some football, friendly competition and sp and my family got to meet! what better way to meet than at a tailgate and drinks in hand.... it's how we do things in our families i guess;)

here is what i bundled up in! 

jacket: tommy hilfier. similar to this north face  headband: target

jeans: citizens of humanity   scarf: zara

boots: napapijri (a few years ago) here is a current pair and a sorels pair!

one of nearest and dearest friends is obsessed with any and all foxes... including her husband whom she calls her fox:) anyway... 

there are so many foxy things everywhere lately, so i decided to make a mama and baby fox must have gift list. there were just too  many things to choose from and somehow i ended up picking 13 items on each list. the fox tea-towels are defiantly my favorite! and the 'hidden fox' mugs make a great gift to any mamma fox lover! as for a favorite item on the baby fox list?! the pacifier clips are the best thing - they were all the rage when we lived in germany... so excited to see they have made it across the ocean!

TEXAS IN A BOX

a while back i was catching up on my favorite blogs via bloglovin and stumbled upon 'the lady okies' post about ok in a box. of course i thought it was a brilliant idea! getting a box every month with some of your favorite things from your favorite state?! sign me up!

so i did a little research and found that the company did not have a 'tx in a box' just yet. i contacted them and said when you're ready with the texas box, let me know- happy to review!

a few days later: TEXAS IN A BOX was on my doorstep!

'TX in a box' is a monthly subscription that ships right to your door and comes with 4-5 goodies made right here in Texas! with the holidays coming up it would be a great box to send to your texas lovin' friends! for those that don't live in texas anymore or anyone that enjoys 'texas made' things!

the best part is you can sign up with a few different options: 1,3 or a 6 month subscriptions!

the best part is: enter this special referral link to get $10 off your first box!

here's whats inside this months box:

1. texas style cornbread mix - made in denton, texas 

i think i'm going to save this one here for a cold texas night, with a big bowl of chilli!

2. pumpkin dip mix - made in richardson, texas

this handy little package is going to be a time-saver on thanksgiving. showing up with an appetizer and main dish for thanksgiving dinner?! bonus points for sure!

(review on 1 and 2 to follow upon tasting)

3. jalapeño peanut patty - made in arlington, texas 

i tried one bite. just no.

4. cherry cheddar cinnamon biscotti - made in fort worth, texas

delish! this was the first thing i opened from the box and enjoyed a few with an afternoon cup of tea!

its just the right amount of cinnamon and cherry.. the cheddar is just an afterthought- love these guys. 

i personally love the idea of a monthly mystery box arriving on your doorstep. its the 'cool thing' to do right now.. think birchbox, barkbox, naturebox... and now TX in a box!

if you want to learn more about TX in a BOX like them on facebook and head on over to their website and show them some texas size love!
