I’m so happy it’s Thursday 🙂 . Here’s a little look at life lately…
My carpool cutie. I feel like she and I are always in the car waiting on someone.
They all kind of coordinated before school, so I took a pic! Love these sisters!
Oh look! Back in the car again! Ha!
First grade lunch duty is never dull!
This girl. Where did my baby go? I feel like all of a sudden, I have a mini-teen at my house. She’s almost as tall as me and just so BIG now!
I’m so proud of this girl! I’m sad that she’s getting older, but I love who she’s blossomed into!
We spent Sunday afternoon watching two of the Shulls play sports! First up, we cheered on Ashby at her soccer game before heading to flag football.
Every year, our Sunday school class has a Harvest Party. This is always when my kiddos pull out their Halloween costumes for the first time. This year, their costumes made me HAPPY…
…Captain Underpants, Jasmine, Rapunzel and half a PB&J (Ebby Lee was the other half) totally nailed it!
We showed up and found multiple Jasmines 🙂 .
Look at all of these cute kids!!
These two girls 🙂 .
Peanut Butter and Jelly…together forever!
They made a sandwich! 😉
I’ve been doing life with Andrea now for almost 14 years! She and I talk about this party all year long, so it’s always so fun when it arrives!
They made a PB, J and Peacock sandwich!
We totally dig parties like this one.
That’s a little look at life lately! See you guys tomorrow!

That pb&j is the absolute cutest!! Questions for you about malfunctional therapy (I am two months in and would have never learned I needed it had it not been for you, so THANK YOU!)….Do you sleep solely on your back every night? What is the biggest challenge you had in therapy? And, because you are the queen of amazing tips….any myo tips or advice for me? Thank you!
Mix and Match Mama says
Oh gosh, I’m sorry! I will say that I cried so many times thinking I would never be able to “fix” the problem because really, how do you train yourself to sleep through the night with your tongue on the roof of your mouth, but honest to goodness I DO!!! I am a side or back sleeper and my biggest tip is DO YOUR HOMEWORK! No matter how tedious and boring it can get, do it! It works!
Melissa says
I love that you answered this. I, too, am doing mft. I’m 6 months in and still struggling so much with the sleep. This is a good reminder to keep at it. ? Thanks!
Arnetta Mancino says
Just found your blog! Love supporting older mammas – I adopted two of my own at 52 and it was the best decision I ever made. Initially, I was afraid to join the 30- something friend groups for fear of judgment, but having close relationships with my kids’ friends’ parents was important to me, so I took the leap… and was welcomed with open arms!!! Glad to see you have also found a lovely group of accepting women. Keep it up – don’t let anyone tell you you’re “too old” to do anything … even raise a child. Age is just a number and these children need homes!
Kim says
Shay is young! I think 37 But you are right age is a number. Wishing you the best with your family ?
Erika Slaughter says
LOVE their costumes this year!!
Christy says
What color are your nails in the last picture? Love!
Julie says
Hi Shay! Your family is adorable. I love your dark nail color, do you happen to remember the brand? Also, do you use gel polish? I’ve been afraid of it but I’m getting tired of doing my nails every couple days using the regular stuff. How do you make it last? Thanks for all your tips!
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s “dip”. I use Nexgen and the color is 70!
Katherine Darlington says
Your skin is just stunning. Also, have you ever shared how Andrew proposed?
Mix and Match Mama says
Surely I have?? He took me to a really nice steak restaurant and was so nervous that he forgot his wallet so I paid for our dinner ;).
Paula says
?? That is so cute & sweet.
Laurie S says
Love the PB&J sandwich costume! And where did you find the “pieces”.
Mix and Match Mama says
Amazon!!
Paula says
I just ordered my twins p&j costumes…love it!
Mix and Match Mama says
That’s so cute!!
Rebecca Jo says
OK – the PB&J costume is a perfect besties costume!!!
Kelley says
What lipstick have you been wearing? I really like it!
Mix and Match Mama says
I have been wearing the Clinique one from this post a lot lately along with Laura Mercier in “fresh”. https://mixandmatchmama.com/2019/09/new-beauty-finds-for-fall/
April says
Enjoy this time in volleyball! My daughter’s last regular season match is today – she’s a senior and she started played at age 9.. It’s gone too fast! Soak it up! I coached for 16 years and she grew up in the gym with me since she could walk- special times for sure!!
Beth Johnson says
Would you consider doing a post on shopping for Kensington? I have a daughter the same age and I struggle between stores that are a little too “little kid” for her and yet, she’s not quite into teen stores either.
Mix and Match Mama says
She’s been really into Old Navy and Gap this school year!
Mary says
What eyeshadow and lipstick are you wearing in the last picture? So pretty!!
Mix and Match Mama says
A Laura Mercier caviar stick and then Clinique’s Pop Matte in Cute Pop!
Mary says
Which color in the eyeshadow?
Mix and Match Mama says
That holiday pack I blogged about on Wednesday!
Cyndie says
I love Halloween costumes. Your kids are all adorable. I love the Captain Underpants costume! I ‘m a retired elementary school teacher, but am so glad I got to enjoy the Captain Underpants books before I retired! I would laugh out loud reading them to myself!
Lindsay says
Have you ever shown the girls the TV show PB&J Otter … If you ever get a chance look it up … I think they would LOVE it! 🙂
Jodi says
What’s your nail polish color right now?
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s a Nexgen dip from my salon. #70
Heather Gepner says
Oh my goodness. My 5th grader and her best friend are also PB & J this year! My 4 year old and his brand new brother are pirates. So fun!!!
