Happy FRIDAY!
We don’t have a lot going on this weekend…sports, church…you know, the usual. There’s nothing like 2020 to make you excited for “the usual” 😉 .
Grab your #PSL, turn on You’ve Got Mail and scroll to see this week’s faves. Just like always, I’m linking up with my friends Andrea and Erika today.
I hope you all have the BEST weekend!! xo
I mean, of course, I had to share these…
…my Air Fryer Pancake Donuts from yesterday are for sure a fave this week! If you missed the easy little recipe, click HERE. Your weekend needs these!!
Speaking of things you need…
…these Pumpkin Spiced Pumpkin Seeds are SO GOOD!!! They’re spiced like cinnamon and are a-mazing! I like them in the afternoon with coffee as a little mid-day snack. Madeley is my kiddo least likely to eat a nut, but she can’t quit these! They’re excellent on a salad too!!
While you’re at Trader Joe’s…
…please try the Truffle Pecorino and…
…the Romesco Dip too!
If you go to Target this week…
…try these Pumpkin Spice Almonds!!
A few weeks ago, I ordered some Allie + Bess bracelets for myself and then two as a gift. Well, the ladies over there were SO NICE about my order and insisted that they give a promo code to my sweet readers…
…I’ve been wearing these bracelets every day and many of you have asked about them…
From left to right: ONE//TWO//THREE//FOUR//FIVE
…aren’t they fun?! I was really excited to buy mine, so now, I’m even more exicted to share a code with you! You can get them 15% off with promo code SHAY15! So fun, right?! My mom and I both love to stack different bracelets on our wrist, so I was really happy to find these, and I can’t stress enough, they were so sweet to me and wanted to share their promo code with YOU. SHAY15 🙂
Well, these right here…
…should definitely be a fave this week since I have them on in every pic above! You guys know how much I love my Ugg slippers and this new style, has made me SO HAPPY!!! They would make excellent holiday gifts with a cute pair of pjs 🙂 .
One more thing I want to mention…
…last week, I shared my new Apple Watch band with you, and I had so many people ask me if it really fits my Apple Watch Series 5 (I have the largest version), and yes, as you can see here, it does (even though online, it doesn’t list the Series 5). I have been wearing it every day and LOVE this band! Now, you all know that I DO NOT LOVE MY SERIES 5 and out of all of my Apple Watches (1-4), it has let me down the most. Good news though, TODAY, the new Series 6 comes out! I am for sure trading mine in. I’m so hopeful that it will work better than my 5 did…a new review to come 😉 .
Speaking of my slippers…
…they were prominently featured (along with the bracelets!) in this week’s What I Wore Wednesday! If you missed that post, I had two cardigans from Amazon and one from Target in my round up. Aren’t they all so cute?!
On Tuesday, I had so many people ask to see Kensington’s birthday sign for our birthday wall. This year, her birthday was super simple, so we decided to make her sign simple and beautiful too…
…her new room re-do (which was her gift) is going to be gray and white with little pops of this Tiffany blue…so I thought her sign was perfect 🙂 .
You can find my friend Amy, who makes all of these custom signs, HERE. She makes the cutest holiday and fall signs too!!!
Finally, it wouldn’t be fall around here without…
…Oktoberfest.
Sigh.
Our annual tradition will be cancelled this year, but if I can’t go to Oktoberfest, I can bring the flavors of Oktoberfest into my home.
Today, I’m sharing my yummy Oktoberfest recipes with you HERE!
That wraps up this week, friends! I hope you all have a lovely weekend!! xo
Dana says
Now this is a fun little fall roundup! Those cardigan sweaters and PS nuts are just so happy. And making German food sounds like a really sweet way to make lemonade out of lemons. Our German friend taught us to make schintzel several years ago with spatzle and it’s one of our favorite meals as well!!
Mix and Match Mama says
You just described my favorite meal 🙂 .
Lauren says
So smart to bring Oktoberfest to you!!
Sheaffer Sims says
LOOK AT BABY MADELEY IN THE STROLLER AT OKTOBERFEST. Time is a thief, and I’m ticked.
Mix and Match Mama says
I knowwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!
Erika Slaughter says
“Need” is a strong word but I feel like I just might NEED that truffle cheese in my life!

Shelly says
Hi Shay, are your bracelets the 6mm or 8mm? Do you have the direct links to the ones you are wearing? Thanks 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
I can go back and add them! I bought two 6mm and one 8mm!
Mix and Match Mama says
I just went back to double check and then I also linked them for you in the post. I don’t have any 8mm, I have 4 and 6!
Becky says
I love Kensington’s birthday sign!
Mindy Tierney says
It’s supposed to be in the 60s and rainy here this weekend. Was in the 90s last week. Not sure if you watched it yet, but you must watch Cobra Kai on Netflix. Two seasons are out and it’s the best. A series based on the Karate Kid movie. It’s so good! Original actors are in it. My daughter is 15 and loved it. I first showed her the original movie, which she loved. The series is just as good, if not better! Can’t wait until season 3! Happy Friday!!
Mix and Match Mama says
Really? I’ve never heard of that! Thank you!!
Paula says
Oh Kensington’s sign….looks so mature. ? Bittersweet.
Octoberfest is cancelled here too, but restaurants have the food. We ordered a plate this week of course!
Elspeth says
What a fun roundup of favorites!! I love all things fall and your post got me in the best mood!!
Have a great weekend!

Bailey says
Ok do you eat the cheese and salsa together or separately?! Also, with crackers or chips? I feel like I need to get the right experience! 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
I like the salsa with one of their corn dippers separate from the cheese. I like the cheese on our charcuterie boards!
Blake says
I also love my ugg slippers and need a new pair after years. Do you know if they usually release new Ansley colors for the winter? The current colors aren’t as exciting as my old purple pair!
Mix and Match Mama says
I could totally be wrong…but I think they release them in October. I get a new pair every fall and I feel like it’s in October when the new colors come out.
Cortny says
Love the picture at Oktoberfest! You guys are one plaid loving family 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
Always 😉 !
Jess Wade says
Are the Ugg slippers heavy? On the site, the sole looks like old Doc Marten sandal style…I loved my Doc sandals back in the day, but they were HEAVY! Want your thoughts?
Mix and Match Mama says
Bahahaha! I had a pink suede pair that I LOVED and now, when I think back, I laugh because they were SO HEAVY!!!!! And ugly. Bahahaha! So, if those were a 10 (on a 1-10 scale), these would be a 2!
Kathy says
Ohh which new Apple Watch are you getting? I can’t decide!
Mix and Match Mama says
I’ll get the same one I always do…gold, 44mm with the sports band!
Bev says
Hi Shay, the bracelet links aren’t working for me. I was interested in the gold one. Have a great weekend!
Mix and Match Mama says
well, that’s weird?! Try again! I just did and they’re working for me!
Amy says
You say you do not like your series 5 Apple Watch…can you expand on that? I have it and it’s my first Apple Watch so I have nothing to compare it to and so far I like it. Just curious what you don’t like about it to justify me trading mine in after only a couple of months. Thanks!
Mix and Match Mama says
I did an entire post on it that you can read here: https://mixandmatchmama.com/2019/11/apple-watch-5-review/
Jaren says
That Sausage Beer and Cheese Dip sounds amazing!! We must try it soon!
Joanne says
I have been loving Target’s fall snacks!
Renee King says
I have that exact saying on my letterboard in the kitchen! My teenage girls told me it was a little extra, which I don’t think they meant as a compliment haha. I thought it was perfect.
Angela Ellingson says
Such a bummer about Oktoberfest! Excited to check out those recipes though!
Katie says
Shay, I keep wondering, have you watched the current season of Marrying Millions on Lifetime? It’s such a cheesey, fluffy show BUT one of the couples they feature lives in McKinney, TX, and I always think of you and your blog. The scenery shoes they’ve shown make it look sooooooo cute!
Mix and Match Mama says
What?! I’ve never heard of such! Looking it up right now!
Lorelei Boyett says
Hey Shay just watched your story and your hair looks amazing, did you fix it differently? (Not that it isn’t great always) ?
Mix and Match Mama says
Well, thank you!!!! Hmmmm…I used my Drybar 1″ iron and don’t feel like I did it differently, but thank you!!!
Kathy says
Shay, you likely have a lot of “older” readers, like me! (68). Have you ever thought of asking your mom to do a post on HER skincare and haircare, etc? Sometimes it’s different for us and it would be fun to hear what she has to say. I know you’ve blogged on some of her skincare before. Or maybe you or she knows of an “older” blogger who discusses all this.
Mix and Match Mama says
Writing that idea down, Kathy!! I did a post on my mom last year and included her skincare, but I can do another one!
Carol says
Just seen your insta. story. Had to comment on your Grandmother. I have been following your blog for almost 10 years and your Grandmother looks as wonderful now as when I first started reading your blogs. She is a beautiful woman!
Mix and Match Mama says
Thank you :). She is really amazing.
Donna says
I am older as well and would love some posts including your mom. Several other bloggers I follow have their moms guest post every few months and it’s really enjoyable. I’m really looking forward to your home reveal post when remodeling is done and would love so home tips/shops from your mom as well. Thanks for all you do!
Laura JeanS. says
I’m looking forward to your Apple watch review so I can decide which one to finally buy! I think it’s “time” to take the plunge! 😉
~B~ says
We are beginning a big bedroom/master bath remodel here and I came on here to look back at paint colors for your (unexpected) remodel…and now I want to go make donuts and get one of those cardigans! 🙂 Happy fall to you ~ enjoy the weekend!
Mix and Match Mama says
Ha! Good luck with your remodel!!
Jill says
Hey…just curious if you would have any idea…I’ve been getting your blog by email for a couple years…the last 2 weeks or so it hasn’t shown up:(…I had to come to the website to see what was up! ? I tried subscribing again but it said I was already subscribed??♀️
Mix and Match Mama says
Well that’s super weird! Let me check on that for you!
Nicole says
Hey Shay!! What do you use the Romesco Dip with? Thanks!
Mix and Match Mama says
Their corn dippers!!!!
