Here’s a little look at life lately. Spoiler alert, lots of sunshine below…
This girl is always smiling. Always. Even very first thing in the morning.
Does anyone else have a hard time being inside when the weather is pretty outside? It stresses me out if I’m in when I know it’s gorgeous out. We’ve been trying to soak up as much outdoor time as possible…because we all know at some point, it will be 187 degrees.
Our store has been out of chicken breast, but they have lobster! We’ve had so much fun making lobster rolls for dinner! You can seem my latest HOT LOBSTER ROLL post today too!
Does your driveway look like this too?

They were just sitting on the curb talking. I have no idea what they were discussing, but how cool is it that they’re sisters 🙂 ?!
Speaking of which. #sisters
I am so proud of Miss Madeley! She is swimming like a fish these days!!!
It’s a jam, jam world again! This time of year, strawberries are delicious around here, so we always make easy FREEZER JAM!
I love all of her little “bracelets”.
She’s for sure the boss lady over here!
One of us had on an ugly shirt Sunday morning.

This girl loves to snuggle!!
That’s a little look at life lately!
I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday!! xo

Did Madeley get her ears pierced? She’s so cute!!
Mix and Match Mama says
She did!! 🙂
kasey says
Where’s the frozen drink machine from? We need that in our life 🙂
Leslie S says
I was just going to ask the same!
Ahna @ Hammers N Hugs says
Yes, yes, yes to all the sunshine!! It was 40 degrees and raining here in Lancaster, PA yesterday (insert all my sobs here)! What is happening?! It’s like cruel and unusual punishment. So bring on all the sunny pool pics, and like I said, if you see a random 5’3″ brunette with pasty white skin lounging in your pool it’s just me. So don’t worry. Not weird at all. 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
Come on over!!! I would love to have you! 😉
Ahna @ Hammers N Hugs says
❤??
Erika Slaughter says
I’ve never enjoyed the weather more than I have this year! It’s been amazing out! And love ALL those smiles!
Mix and Match Mama says
Me too!!!!!
Sheaffer Sims says
Those are some cute kids and some awesome smiles!
Deirdra says
Looks like such fun! Lock down suits you guys great.
Can you post a link to your slushy machines?
Mix and Match Mama says
I’m not sure where Andrew bought it (I would guess amazon!), but I’ll ask!

Children are joy and sunshine. It’s good to see them having fun together and laughing. Happy Thursday.
Rebecca Jo Vincent says
Has something happened in Quarantine to make your kids looks SO GROWN??? Especially Smith & Kensington. They look like teenagers!!!
Mix and Match Mama says
It needs to stop. Stat. 😉
Beth Valenta says
OK…Now I am going to need that Fenway shirt to add to my collection. I just got one that says Bum, Bum, Bum.
What website did you get it from?
Mix and Match Mama says
Amazon!!
Kelly says
Bring on all the sunshine and warm temps! Add a heap of happy kiddos and you have one great recipe:)

Can you give details on the frozen drink machine? PLLLEEEEEAAASSSEEEE? I live in SC , aka the surface of the sun ? Need something to combat the heat with our neighborhood pool still closed
Gbea says
YES – I do get a little stressed when it’s nice out and I’m indoors. I think it’s because I’m originally from Portland, OR and when it’s not raining – EVERYONE GOES OUTSIDE – like this weird, knee-jerk reaction. Now I live in Nashville and yes, pretty soon it will be WAY too hot to want to be outside (during the summer, I get “reverse cabin fever” – a whole ‘nother story) so that just makes me feel more anxious about it.
tara smith says
Sooooo adorable!
carolyn cox says
What happened to Ashbey’s contacts?
Mix and Match Mama says
On days when she swims, she takes them out 🙂 .
Mandy says
I would love to know where your slushie machines are from! I love the pictures too! I wish it was pool weather in WI!
Chrys says
Shay, thank you so much for continuing to Blog during these difficult and stressful times. I love being able to wake up every day and enjoy my cup of coffee while reading your Blog. It’s always so positive! ? I also love looking at your pool picts since the weather in NJ has NOT been our friend. At least others have good weather haha.
Frances Ryals says
I am so happy to see your recipe for Freezer Jam in the post today! I just bought a flat of fresh strawberries so you know
what I’m going to do! Love your recipes!
Liz Thorson says
How is Ashbey liking her contacts? Does she wear hard, soft or gas permeable lenses? Does she wear them when swimming? I do and I’ve worn contacts since I was 16 and I’m now 69! It might be risky for a child to wear them swimming just because they’re so busy having fun in the water, but I’ve noticed your littles often are wearing goggles. Ashbey has not had her ears pierced, right?
What fun days your children are enjoying being all together and nice weather, too!
I bet you all are so sad not to have been with Sean and Catherine’s 3 littles? Have you not seen Mia since she was born?
Mix and Match Mama says
She loves her contacts, but no, she doesn’t wear them when she swims. On those days, she wears her glasses instead! And yes, she got her ears pieced when she was five. My older two girls have pierced ears but don’t wear earrings that often. As for Sean’s kids, we are very lucky to see them all the time. We have been careful during this pandemic, but we’ve still been able to see them.
Joanne says
Our store is not selling any fresh seafood at all; just frozen…. so no lobstah (that’s how we say it up here) for us! Though I have heard we might be able to buy fresh off the boat at the docks. If more than just me and my husband ate them I might look into that. Lots of great “summer-y” pictures. We’re still struggling to get consistently warm temps here as we have snow flurries in the forecast for tomorrow.
Mix and Match Mama says
Well, obviously in North Texas, I’m not getting anything off a boat either. Ours are frozen and shipped but not canned or preserved (as that’s what I meant by fresh!).
Eunice says
Love your pink shirt you are wearing, can you post the link? I admit to being envious of your gorgeous weather there! I also get stressed if it’s nice out and I’m not outside in it!
Carol Scott says
Love reading about all your adventures and your sweet family. So glad I found this site.Such a nice Christian family.
Jenn says
Hi Shay!
Is there anywhere to pick berries in the area? I miss going berry picking in CT. Thx!
Mix and Match Mama says
I’ve never heard of any places. I’m not sure??
Jenny Jo says
I love that Ashby loves rocking those bracelets! She’s such a sweet girl, love seeing her personality shine!
Jennifer Livingston says
Where did you get the tequila sunrise shirt? Cute!
Mix and Match Mama says
Amazon!
