Friday Favorites


Hey there, Friday!  It’s good to see you again 🙂 .

I hope wherever you are, you have that Friday feeling.  Give me all the sun and fun this weekend!!

Just like every week, I’m linking up with my girls  Andrea, Erika and Narci and sharing some with you today.  I’m so happy that it’s FRI-YAY!

I’m super pumped about this one!

Okay, one of my brother’s BFFs is Austin…

See us all in their wedding party?  Here’s another pic…

…Austin is so sweet, funny, smart and one of mine and Andrew’s favorite people.  We love it when he stops by McKinney to say hi!   (Side note, Austin and I became really close when we were all stuck in a  shuttle bus together for three hours and I got car sick.  Sitting RIGHT next to Austin.  I mean…nothing makes you closer to someone than when they have to watch you puke.  A lot.  Sigh.)

So, the other day, Andrew and Smith came home from one of Smith’s baseball practices and they said Austin showed up to say hi.  Well…they were both like “you have to check out what Austin gave us”.  I mean…Smith was giddy with excitement about it.  Austin recently created a new product (named after his mom and dad) called…

…Tom & Sheri’s Iron in a Bottle.  Friends, this stuff is amazing.

Smith was like, “Mom, find something wrinkly and this stuff takes the wrinkles out!”.  So, because I’m like the WORST person ever at doing laundry, it took me all of three seconds to produce something with wrinkles and bam!  They sprayed this on and the wrinkles went away.  I mean…it was so cool!  So, we started using it and by the second day, we were texting Austin and I told him that I was putting this stuff on my Friday Favorites.  He was like, well, then I’ll give your readers a DISCOUNT CODE for 10% off.  See why I love Austin? The code is mixandmatch.

You can read all about this all-natural product on their website HERE.  You spray it on, let it dry just a few minutes and your wrinkles are gone.  We’re even going to take some with us on our vacation because, hello?  Suitcase wrinkles are the worst!  (They have a travel size bottle too!)  I didn’t want to just show you the bottle, I wanted to demonstrate it.  So, since Smith is such a big fan, I asked him to help.

Step one: Find something we can “wrinkle” for our testing purposes.

I asked Smith to get one of Andrew’s shirts and “wrinkle” it.  Smith picked a pink shirt because “pink is ugly” and he went to town making it all wrinkly.

He was so proud of it.  Because he twisted it sideways, you see it has lots of side wrinkles in the middle.

We stood there in the kitchen, I sprayed it with the iron spray, we put it back on a hanger (please note, Andrew prefers dry cleaner hangers to my velvet ones…) and then it dried about three minutes.

Look!!  So cool, right?!  I am seriously giddy about having help with wrinkly clothes.

When the bottle matches your outfit 😉 .

Austin emailed me this article about ironing.  In it, it says that the average mother spends four months of her life ironing.  I mean…that just isn’t how I want to spend my time!

So, you all need it.  You’re supporting a great guy and getting a great product!  You can order HERE and don’t forget to use the promo code mixandmatch for a 10% discount.  On their site, you can also read about how the business came to be, about why it’s named after his parents, see lots of fun photos and more!

Austin, next time, please create a product that folds and puts away the unwrinkled laundry.  Please 🙂 .

Tab took this pic the other night.  I mean, how happy does this make you?!?!  These two girls are just so precious!!!

Speaking of happy…I’m having a happy moment with these necklaces from Accessory Concierge…

…so cute, right?!  (And psssst: this dress is now 40% off too!)

I also wore it the other day with my tee and shorts…

…favorite shorts, cute tee, fun necklace means I’m ready for the day!

This is one of Cassie’s tees!  I loved it so much that I bought it in a second color…

…same tee, same shorts, and another Accessory Concierge necklace for the win!

What?!  What?!  Did you guys see this online?!  I’m one of Jamie Ivey’s guest for her Happy Hour Live this fall!!  I am SO EXCITED!!!  I believe the event is already sold out, so I hope some of you already have your tickets.  I cannot wait to go and chat live with Jamie and Amy Brown.

Literally, a HUGE favorite this week…

…it makes the duck look small.  And the duck is huge.  If you need a giant flamingo too, I bought it on Amazon, of course!

Lookin’ for something a little red, white and blue to make?  I got you covered friends…

July 4th Recipes

…we’re wrapping up this Friday with my Easy & Festive July 4th Recipes!

Seriously…from cakes to pies, trifles, breakfast recipes, fruit salads and more, I have your Independence Day covered!  Click HERE to see all the festive goodness.

One last thing before we go.  Our sweet friend Meagan wanted us to share this…

Due to the sensitivity of the matter, we cannot share any details at this time, but please know we’re so thankful for all the support, love and prayers.  From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

That’s it for this Friday.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend celebrating all of the fathers in your life! xo

    Austin is a genius!! I’m ordering NOW! And you better call me the second he comes up with the product that folds and puts away the laundry! 😉

  8. Hanna says

    Continuing to pray for Meagan and her family!

    I’m going to The Happy Hour Live!! Can’t wait to see you ladies!!

  9. Mary says

    I’ll have to try the ironing spray! What lipstick are you wearing in the picture where you’re holding the bottle?

  10. Olivia says

    Omg the wrinkle spray…my boyfriend isn’t great with his laundry so I’m buying him this ASAP! Thanks for sharing:)

  13. Kelly says

    My husband irons his clothing for work every morning, Guess who’s getting a bottle of this magic?:).

  14. Kristi says

    Do you know if Austin’s company will ship to Canada? I couldn’t find it on their website… and we hate ironing up here too!! ?

  18. Meg says

    Love the iron in a bottle idea! I ditched my iron years ago and only use the steamer now ?

  19. Ruth Ellis says

    Still praying for Meagan and her family…my heart hurts for them and the fact they have to go through this. My church in California is also praying for God to move mountains and give them HIs peace during this time. 🙂

  20. Hilary P. says

    I am ordering that spray right now!!! I’m the worst about leaving clothes in the dryer and then turning it back on a million times to get the wrinkles out and my sons dress pants just dont work like that, so on Sunday morning i’m rushed to iron his pants!
    PS. Can you show us your full closet? I’m looking to build and top on my list is perfecting my master closet size and design! Every time i see yours i think “i need to see more of that!”

  21. Kristen says

    Just ordered that tee! So cute! I definitely need that wrinkle spray in my life, too. I am constantly buried in laundry – also with 4 kids, and ironing just does not happen!

  22. Angela Ellingson says

    Shay!! Why didn’t you tell us about The Happy Hour Live event before it was sold out?! 😉 LOL I put myself on the waiting list. Can you convince Jamie to stream it? 🙂

  23. mary says

    I’m a huge fan of a steamer because I refuse to Iron, but you just sold me. Thanks Austin 🙂

  24. Chelsea says

    This spray isn’t going to save me time, but can we talk about how many nice blouses I have ruined by ironing them incorrectly!? Buying this to save my wardrobe ??‍♀️?

  25. Rachel K says

    So ordering this spray. Also, my husband loves wire dry cleaner hangers and I prefer the velvet ones. I don’t at all understand him wanting the wire hangers. I hate them!!!!

  28. pam says

    Love your blog!
    Went to website to purchase the iron product and they offer no ingredients list.
    Couldn’t find a way to contact them regarding the ingredients–we have a lot of allergies here and need to know ingredients.
    Maybe you can contact them and ask them to list ingredients.
    Thank you for always brightening my day

    Thanks for sharing the spray! I’ve already placed my order! I’m so sad that I can’t make Happy Hour Live. I fully intended to go this time, and what a bonus that you are a guest. I’ll be in Dallas for Taylor Swift that weekend. I know Happy Hour will be the best though!

  30. Ashley Hatfield says

    Alright, I just ordered the iron in a bottle and am pumped about it! I live in an apartment and just moved so we now have a washer and dryer in unit (LIFE CHANGING). I’ve realized basically everything comes out wrinkly…I think I may put too many clothes in at once. In any case, this is going to be awesome!

  31. Michelle says

    Do you think the spray leaves a residue or will fade/alter a garment over time?

  32. Cathy says

    Hold up! Is that Tom and Sheri Eudaly’s son? Oh my goodness, they were my teaching leaders at BSF over twenty years ago! Love them!

  33. Debbra Weber says

    Thank you for sharing the information on the spray. I just ordered. I can’t wait to try it out 🙂

  34. Martha says

    Whoops! Didn’t see the code to get 10% off and I ordered the spray too quickly . There was no way to contact them on the website to let them know this.
    Love your family and all you do. Thanks for letting us into your wonderful and prayerful life.

  35. Cara says

    I found Tom and Sheri’s on Instagram. Love this product! I think it needs to be on a baby registry because no new mom has time to iron!

  41. Nerine says

    Happy Friday, Shay!! Can you please link me the turquoise bracelet with the gold bead? It’s beautiful! Enjoy your weekend!

  42. Amie says

    So cool that you get chat with Amy Brown, I listen to their radio show every morning!! Definitely checking out this spray!

  43. Scarlett Spangler says

    I didn’t even make it through your entire post before stopping to order the iron in a bottle. SO excited to try it! My husband knows that ironing is the one household chore I avoid like the plague, so this product sounds like the best thing to happen to me so far in 2018 😉 lol

  44. Sheila says

    Love your blog, great recipes (cookbooks) and so many, many things – but honestly, I just ordered the spray!! Can’t wait for it to arrive here in Wisconsin!! Thanks for sharing so many great products and ideas!!

  45. Lesley McFarland says

    And all the mommas say amen to NO MORE IRONING!!! I cannot wait to get my hands on this!!

  46. Katheryn says

    So cool that you’re doing The Happy Hour live with Amy Brown! Love listening to her on The Bobby Bones show!

  48. Chasity says

    I looaaaatthe ironing, so thank you for sharing that product!! I cannot wait to try it out!!

  50. Nicole says

    I was so happy for you when I saw your name/pic on Happy Hour Live. I am such a big fan of that podcast. Tickets were sold out on the same day they released! So popular! I bet you all will have so much fun! I actually started listening to HH when you were a guest the 2nd time. Now I don’t miss an episode. I’m so inspired by the guests and the way Jamie provides encouragement 🙂

  51. Bri says

    Oh my gosh. I have been using another version of that wrinkle spray for years. I didn’t even know people still iron?? That’s crazy! Lol. Happy to switch over and support a small business!

  53. Liz Thorson says

    Yeah for your friend Austin! I just ordered a combo an 4 travel sized bottles for my husband, 2 sons and daughter-in-law! Thank you, Shay!?
    Love the hard work and adorable pics of Smith helping you get the shirt wrinkled and why he picked that color shirt! Haha!
    Ashby and Britt=❤️?

  54. jen says

    About to order 3 bottles for my “going off to college for the first time” boy! We have been talking about his love for a freshly pressed pair of pants and shirts vs doing it himself in a dorm room! Tell your friend thanks for the discount code and I’ll pass it on to my other graduated senior mamas.

  55. Casey Mussell says

    Which Tory Burch are these? Looks like 2 different finishes maybe? I’m trying To decide which to get!

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      I bought the “makeup” ones this year! The other ones I bought two years ago and they’re “patent sand”.

  56. Kathryn says

    Ordered the spray and was reading about Austin. Turns out his parents led the first BSF group i was in…that was 25 years ago!

  58. Chelsa Knepp says

    What size is your pool? We are building and putting one in and trying to decide on size.
    Thanks!
