We’ve been enjoying a lot of sunny days outside…
…we love to play in the front yard on scooters, bikes and roller skates. This one loves to steal my drink.
When your shirt matches your work 🙂 . Shorts HERE.
Bowen and Ashby…going strong since 2015 🙂 .
Another one for you locals! We would love to see you at our 2nd Annual MSF Golf Tournament! It’s always such a beautiful day to raise money and play some golf for some very special mamas here in Collin County fighting cancer. You can register HERE.
It’s always a good idea to wear pink.
Not necessarily linen though.
Whhhhhy must it always look so wrinkly?!
This fall, I realized that we didn’t have a “spring” plate/platter/etc, so my sweet friend Lori made us one! Isn’t it so cute?! If you haven’t checked out her FB page, you need to hop over! She is crazy talented!!
All dressed up and ready for church!
Andrew and I set the DVR to watch The Masters on Sunday after church: golf, a delicious board of goodies and sitting on the patio was the perfect way to watch Tiger win!
Love this guy.
I took this picture because darn it, she’s just getting too BIG!
I love live music while I cook 🙂 .
Finally, how cute are my wedges?! They’re like a rose pink color and because the heel isn’t very tall, they’re COMFY!!
I’m pretty obsessed! You can find them HERE. I bought true to size.
That’s a little this and that for your Thursday.
One last thing, last month, I did a post called TOP THREE where I shared my top three favorite(fill in the blank). Someone commented and said I should do the same thing but answer as my younger self. I thought that was a super fun idea! So, if you want to know the answer to a TOP THREE fave of mine from back in the day (like middle school, high school, college), let me know in the comment section today and I’ll try to include it next week!
Okay, I’ll see you tomorrow! xo
Kasie Miller says
Love that top three idea! Excited to see what you choose!
Also, can you mention where you snagged Ashby & Madeley’s dresses in that sweet church pic??? Thanks!
Mix and Match Mama says

Sheaffer Sims says
Cute wedges! And cute Paris shirt!
Connie says
I LOVE your T-shirt!! And that plate is adorable!! I like the Top 3 idea. How about who was your Top 3 music bands from back in middle school? ( I wasn’t sure if you were asking for an idea or not?) Have a Happy Easter Shay!
DANIELLE K RIGG says
Happy Easter. I have been following your blog since before you adopted Ashby, boy have your children grown into beautiful little adults. Beautiful family you have. God bless.
Dotty says
Isn’t Smith 9? The platter says he is 8….I only know this because he is the same age as my son 😉
Mix and Match Mama says
She took their foot prints in October to make the platter, so he was 8 then (his birthday is in January).
Dotty says
wow she must be busy making Easter platters that far in advance. Super cute, love her work.
Mix and Match Mama says
She’s super busy, but will make any platter any time of the year. If you wait until the actual season to have her make one, it probably won’t be ready in time.
Begina Proctor says

Amanda Wilson says
Can Smith be any cooler?? Standing there in his sporty clothes rockin his violin!!! He cracks me up! I love that he wants to play the violin and is also a sports nut! Kensington looks like a teenager in some of those pics…put her back in MJ and throw som pigtails in her hair!! Why does time fly by so quickly!!!! Happy Easter Shay!!
Susan says
Do you have a date for the Manda Strong 5K? I’m not a golfer but ran the 5K last year and it was one of my favorites. I’d like to do it again this year!
Mix and Match Mama says
Yes! It’s November 9th!
Pam says
Three favorite self-tanners?
Pam says
I ask that because I had a melanoma removed last year, and no more sun worshipping for me! I do want a healthy look, though. Thank you!
Michelle says
Oh me too. Fake tanning from now on. I went crazy and bought UV protecting clothing. Glad all clear.
katherine Darlington says
what would you say to your younger self? I have kept a journal of every day of my life since my 11th birthday and now I’m 55. When I read some entries from days gone by, I often think “who the heck were you?”
JoEllen Hickey says
I love your top three as your younger self idea! Your kids are growing up so fast! Thank you for sharing your beautiful family!
Sarah says
What does the Good Friday experience look like at your church? We are always looking for ways to involve families in Maundy Thursday and Good Friday and haven’t come up with anything we really like yet.
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s actually quite amazing. You walk through the whole day Christ was crucified through his resurrection. It’s very hands-on (we have a crown of thorns that can be touched, nails to be held, a cross to try and carry and much more). At the end, there’s communion.
Sarah says
Oh wow – that sounds incredible. We might try something similar next year. Thank you!
Jen says
Oh my gosh, those wedges!! Sooo cute!
Amanda says
I agree 100% about Madeley’s dress! It was hands down my favorite from that release, but I didn’t buy it because of the wrinkles and knowing that I would have to iron it.
Amy Calderon says
love love love a great wedge! These flat hobbit feet can’t do the heels anymore….!
cassie // hi sugarplum says
Okay…K is looking so pre-teen all of a sudden!!!! Love watching your sweet family grow, thank you for sharing them with us! xo
Kristen Gerdel says
Kensington is looking so grown up. Your family is so precious. Happy Easter!
Becky Cowen says
Soooo ready for a long fun-filled weekend! Cute shoes too!
Shay says
where are your jeans from?
Mix and Match Mama says
J Crew Toothpick!
Sarah Shaneyfelt says
Kensington looks so grown up with that long hair!!! And love that snack board! I love eating things like those. I’d love to know your top 3 favorite things to wear back in high school or middle school. I remember when certain brands or items of clothing were so “cool” and now I just roll my eyes haha!

Lauren says
Would you mind sharing the nail polish color you have on your toes in the pictures of your wedges?
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s my new favorite! It’s China Glaze in Pink Voltage 🙂 .
Stacey says
I still have on my mind how you said ya’ll don’t eat in your vehicles. That totally blows my mind since we are always on the go! However, I think it is awesome!! We would be so much healthier and our cars would be so much cleaner. Did you and Andrew grow up with no eating in the car? I also thought I remember you saying in the past that ya’ll hardly ever eat fast food. I am so in awe and am going to try to make some changes with my family. Sorry this is off topic; I just can’t get it out of my mind!
Mix and Match Mama says
I need to ask him if he ate in the car growing up…I’m going to guess that they didn’t because his parents are super neat too.
Madison says
Totally off topic, but did you get Ashby’s 23andme results back would love to hear if she got a different nationality like little miss Madely Moo.
Mix and Match Mama says
I did! That post is here: https://mixandmatchmama.com/2018/06/more-puzzle-pieces/
Patty says
I love the top three idea and would love it as a link up so several of us bloggers could also join in.
Happy Easter

Amanda @ That Inspired Chick says

Can’t wait wait for Kensington to be in youth next year!! It will be so fun and she will love it!! She is looking so grown up and I’ll just be over here crying in the fetal position because we just mail Grace’s graduation announcements.
Janet says
I thought the same thing when I saw the picture of the 4 children. Kensington is looking so grown up. She looks just like you.
Mix and Match Mama says
I feel like it’s happened overnight!
Kelly Buffington says
It does! That’s why they say, “Don’t blink!”;).
Sarah says
I feel like you may have to start linking Kensington’s clothing! ? her platform sandals, that navy jumpsuit, the scalloped shorts — my daughter would love them all!
