We’ve been celebrating mamas around here quite a bit lately. So, I thought I’d share a few pics. Hope you guys are having a wonderful Wednesday!!
We had family in town the first weekend in May and were able to celebrate Cinco de Mayo and my wonderful mother-in-law all at once! We love any holiday that includes Mexican food 😉 .
And then the following weekend, we celebrated Mother’s Day with my mama. My mom loves this one particular brisket pizza on our town square, so that’s where we headed.
Love my mama so much!
And then on Sunday morning, the kids (and Andrew) asked me what I wanted to do…and I said, go to church, have lunch and spend the whole day by the pool. It was my favorite Mother’s Day EVER!! (Side note, I had some people ask about my dress, it’s HERE and my heels are HERE.)
On the way to church, we stopped at Starbucks and Kensington and Andrew got me coffee 🙂 .
Ah! The perfect way to head to church!
After church, we had a lovely lunch…
…love these kiddos so much!
Kensington loves going on walks with me, so when we got home, she asked if we could walk before swimming. We took this pic on the way out the door. Even her American Girl had workout clothes on!
And then we spent the rest of the day in the pool, or I read a book and it was GLORIOUS…
…and then at one point, Andrew even brought me guacamole. Hello?! Best pool snack EVER!
This about sums up my day 🙂 .
For dinner, Andrew made us Bleu Cheese Steaks, baked potatoes, a salad, and sliced strawberries. The perfect way to end my Mother’s Day.

I am always amazed at how you always have lipgloss/lipstick on. #goals
Sarah says
Such a sweet and beautiful family! I saw something on HuffPost parents that reminded me of you because of your awesome adoption stories–29 photos that celebrate how women became moms. The first photo really made me tear up: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/29-photos-that-celebrate-the-moment-women-became-moms_us_590a1eb2e4b05c397685af69
Sara says
Madeley’s smile in the pre-church picture is just precious 🙂
Sara Presley says
Just curious– who do you think Kensington looks like? From your pics, I always think she has your MIL’s features? And sometimes see your mama too. Looks like a beautiful day 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
I think it changes every day! Some days, she looks like Andrew’s side and other days, my side. 🙂
Barbara parnell says
Sounds like a perfect day! Glad you enjoyed!
Angela Ellingson says

Diana says
I know that pizza place with the AHHH-MAZING brisket pizza! Now I’m craving it!! 🙂 I wanted to spend Mother’s Day the same way – relaxed and just enjoying my family. I love a good reason to have my hubs grill up steaks! 🙂
Liz says
Do you know where Kensington’s pink purse is from (in the Starbuck’s picture)? I’m looking for something like it for my daughter–big enough to hold all the things she likes to carry with her…
Mix and Match Mama says
I can’t remember???
Alison Rice-Swiss says
Happy Mother’s Day! Would you mind sharing what lipstick you’re wearing in the 3rd picture (the one with your lovely mom)?
Mix and Match Mama says
Bobbi Brown’s Taffeta 🙂
Ali says
Thx!
Lindsay @ Lindsay's Sweet World says
Mother’s Day perfection. You are so blessed, Shay. If you ever want to send Andrew our way, feel free… my hubs could use some cooking lessons. ;o)
Tamra says
It’s quite obvious you had a wonderful Mother’s Day with your beautiful family! Everyone looks genuinely happy in all your pics. It’d be nice if more families were able to celebrate together as your family does. On a different note, can you share where you purchased your earrings in the before church pics?
Mix and Match Mama says
They’re from Stella & Dot :). And thank you. xo
Allison Scranton says
Ashby looks so grown up in the Mother’s Day picture!
cassie {hi sugarplum} says
It sounds so perfect…and you all look so beautiful! But do you know what stood out to me most?!? That you have enough time to stop at Starbucks before church!?!?! We are literally running in with the opening note of praise and worship every time!! Literally!!! And I have two mostly-grown kids! How do you do it?!?!? 😉 xo
Michele Bartell says
Can you share what color lipstick/lipgloss you’re wearing in the Mother’s Day pictures?
Nicole F says
Happy Mother’s Day! Your day seems like the perfect relaxing way to celebrate. I’m learning as my kids get older, it’s the best way to celebrate 🙂
Leiah says
What color is the lipstick you’re wearing on Mother’s Day? You look so pretty! I hope you had a wonderful day 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
That’s a Channel lip pencil/lip stick thing in Rose Clair.
Erin Port says
I think your mother’s day sounds delightful. We love guacamole by the pool, why does it taste EVEN better there? Also I thought that Kensington and you walking together was the cutest :). What a great way to get some one on one time in. I notice a neighbor of mine does it with her daughter, so sweet! xoxo ERIN
Laura says
Andrew’s mom looks so young and just beautiful! Kensington looks exactly like her! I think that every time you post a picture of her! 🙂
Bethany says
What a beautiful day! Happy Mother’s Day!
