It’s a super fun What’s Up Wednesday because I’m partnering with my favorite retailer Nordstrom and ShopStyle in this sponsored post to share all the things the day before THANKSGIVING! (Whew, that was a mouthful!)
Oh my goodness! I have so much to cover. I have some cozy tops from my favorite Nordstrom brands, a new holiday movie for the fam, so many Thanksgiving Day recipes, and we’re moving back in to the entire first floor TODAY!
Eeeeks!
So. Much.
Okay, as always, on the last Wednesday of every month, Sheaffer and I host this little linky party where we share what’s going on with us right now. It’s a little food, a little family, a little what we’re wearing, a little what we’re doing, a little what we’re watching and a little bit of everything else all in one post.
Let’s get to it, friends!
1: WHAT WE’RE EATING THIS WEEK:
All of the Thanksgiving Day food!
There is so much that I made it an entire post…
…from breakfast to pies, sides and more, you can see my THANKSGIVING EVERYTHING post right HERE.
2. WHAT I’M REMINISCING ABOUT:
Well, I’m reminiscing about our big summer vacations of years past. (Here we are in Ireland!) We had rescheduled our summer vacation for…this week…sigh. We’re clearly not on it. We have rescheduled it again for this summer, so maybe, it will work? #thirdtimesacharm In the meantime, I’m going to reminisce about years past (and look forward to maybe going skiing this winter?!).
3: WHAT I’M LOVING:
I’m loving so many sweaters from Nordstrom’s house brands! From casual to a little more special, they are so cute and keeping me so cozy this season!
That cozy Zella pullover is one of my faves for days at home and working out when the temps dip low. It comes in so many other pretty colors too…
…love!!
Also, I am in love with this top…
…I don’t think I would even call it a sweater because it’s not thick or heavy at all. It’s just so cute!!
Look at the sleeves! So cute!! It comes in several other colors too. My jeans are from last year, but they’re Wit & Wisdom and this year, they have a similar pair. Make sure you SIZE DOWN when ordering Wit & Wisdom. For my top, it runs TTS!
Last night, we took the kiddos to our annual Thanksgiving week dinner where I get to enjoy #allthepasta since Thanksgiving Day food isn’t my jam (one of my favorite traditions!) and wore this little velvet top. Isn’t it cute?! It’s just easy to throw on with jeans or even a fun leather pant would be cute too. It comes in some festive Christmas colors as well, but I bought it in black.
And you just don’t get easier than this sweater here…
…another one of my faves from a Nordstrom brand I love! It comes in other colors, but who doesn’t love a nice grey?!
4: WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO:
We have been cleaning things out, getting things ready, sorting, vacuuming, cleaning some more and today, the movers bring back everything else that’s been in storage since June and we will get it moved on back in. The new addition upstairs isn’t finished, but the flood affected part is finally all put back together. WOOHOO!!!!!!!!
5: WHAT I’M DREADING:
Right now, I’m trying to stay thankful and positive.
(But if I had to think about Ashby’s next surgery, I’d cry.)
6: WHAT I’M WORKING ON:
Five Days of Fabulous.
It’s coming at you on MONDAY!!!!
Are you excited?!
GET EXCITED!!!
Girls…it’s going to be HUGE!!!!!!!!!!
Speaking of excited…
7: WHAT I’M EXCITED ABOUT:
After…
🙂
8: WHAT I’M WATCHING/READING:
My November Book Review will be out next week, but if you need something fun to watch…
…you should check out Jingle Jangle!! Oh my gosh! This is super cute with some phenomenal music too!! This is perfect for the whole family!! I believe it’s by the same people who did The Greatest Showman…so if your family loved that, they’ll probably love this too.
9: WHAT I’M LISTENING TO:
Christmas music!
Literally.
All day long.
10: WHAT I’M WEARING:
A few more fun Nordstrom picks for your Wednesday…
I’m still loving my new hat!
Also…
…select colors of my new coat from the #nsale are on sale right now. I really love how light this one is but yet, not bulky.
I’ve really been enjoying wearing these…
…for running lately! I love how light they are, but they’re still supportive. They fit TTS (some running shoes do not), and I’m excited to get some miles underneath them. They come in so many other colors too!!
They look great with this top for running! This is the one I showed you last week in black, and I said I loved it so much that I have it in two colors (this is purple taupe). Paired with my Zella tights, of course!
And last but not least…
…I posted this over the weekend about my earrings (currently on sale!) and so many of you asked about the sweater. Look…
…at how many fun colors it comes in!!!
The holiday doesn’t need to be stressful, Nordstrom is the one-stop shop for all your needs, whether you’re shopping for yourself or your family! I always love shopping at Nordstrom because not only do they have everything my family needs from beauty to shoes to home, clothes, bath and more, but they have impeccable service, free shipping, free returns and curbside pick up…which in 2020 is invaluable. You can get all of the details about joining their Nordy Club HERE as well!
11: WHAT I’M DOING THIS WEEKEND:
Movin’ back into our bedroom, bathroom and closet!! WOOHOO!!! The movers are supposed to show up around 11:30 today and then, we’ll start unpacking. I am so excited!!!
12: WHAT I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH:
Oh December, I love you so much.
13: WHAT ELSE IS NEW:
Question…I’m looking for new bedding for our bedroom. I’m not just in love with any of the pieces from the normal places where I buy bedding. Do you girls have any suggestions??? I’m open!! Please comment and share if you have some ideas for me!
Okay, if you blogged WUW today too, make sure you link up below! From the bottom of my heart, I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow. This year has been just so hard for so many, but my prayer today is that we can all find something to be thankful for here in 2020. I love you ladies and want you all to have a nice Thanksgiving.
I’ll see you back here on Friday. xo
Lauren says
Our bedding is from Pottery Barn and I love it!
Mix and Match Mama says
Thank you so much!!!!
Cornelia says
I live in France and love this bedding: https://usa.yvesdelormeoutlet.com/ Expensive, but beautiful in design and quality.
Ahna @ Hammers N Hugs says
For a clean, classic look Boll and Branch actually has lovely duvets and quilts (I like their eyelet Duvet. So pretty and simple). Their site is currently 25% off. But for a cozier more dimensional appearance my go-to is always Pottery Barn. Happy Thanksgiving friend!!
Mix and Match Mama says
You’re the second person to suggest them! I’m going to look right now! Thank YOU!!!
Kris says
I have a sheet set from Boll & Branch and am disappointed. After a few uses and washes they have started to pill. I do not have any of their blankets or duvets.
Erika Slaughter says
YYYAAAYYYY!!!! Excited for the big day you’re gonna have! I cannot even imagine how excited you’ve gotta be feeling!
Mix and Match Mama says
Eeeeeeeeeks!!!
Elspeth says
I can’t wait to see your new room pictures! Good luck unpacking snd have a happy thanksgiving!!

Mix and Match Mama says
Awwwww!! Thank you!! YOU TOO!!!
Beth Knecht says
Happy Day, Shay! So happy you get your bedroom back today! Have a fabulous day!
Mix and Match Mama says
Thank you so much, Beth!!!
Victoria says
Take a look at Boll & Branch and Quince for some great quality bedding if you are looking for something simple and of great quality!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your sweet family!?
Mix and Match Mama says
Thank you!!!!!!
Kristi says
What are you making for your family for breakfast on Thanksgiving?
Mix and Match Mama says
I’m making Pumpkin Sausage Balls and French Toast!

Annie says
Serena & Lily has the best bedding with Bull & Branch sheets
Amanda @ Cupcake N Dreams says
So glad you are back in the house after the flood! That must be a relief. This weekend starts all the Christmas music and movies for me so I’m very excited to check out your recommendations! Happy Thanksgiving to the Shulls!
Amanda @ Cupcake N Dreams
Kate says
I love Serena & Lily’s bedding!
Laura says
Thankful for you positive outlook on things, Shay! So excited for you. Pottery Barn usually has great looking and quality bedding. Can you please share where your purchase your hardwood floors? Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy snuggling in your “new” room watching movies!!!
Mix and Match Mama says
Oh! You’re welcome!! You mean the name of the flooring company? I would need to check!
Laura says
When going into the store what would you ask for… oak, size, and name brand?
Thanks!
Mix and Match Mama says
5 inch plank red oak 🙂 !
Laura says
Thank you! I appreciate it! Have a wonderful and restful weekend.
Sarina says
Love boll & branch, parachute and Brooklinen! Happy Thanksgiving Shull Family!
Christine Jandorf says
If you’re looking for some quality bedding try Eastern Accents. It’s a little pricey but worth it if you’re going to keep it for a while.
Annaliza says
I’m surprised no one has suggested Peacock Alley sheets. They’re based in Texas.
Susan says
Love the sheets and blankets from Peacock Alley! Their bedding is beautiful.
Meg says
Ballard Designs or Frontgate for bedding!
Meagan Ruse says
Biscuit Home is my favorite!
Mix and Match Mama says
I’m looking that up!!!
Kim says
Came here to also recommend biscuit!
Dana says
??? I realized mid-day yesterday that I had been thinking it was already Wednesday! I’m so excited for you to get your house mostly back in order…it’s been sooo long!
And for the bedding, I love my old Target quilts from Shabby Chic from years ago. I guess I’m a quilt lady?! Pottery Barn used to have some really cute quilted blankets, too. On top of that I put a really soft and thick blanket that my husband constantly throws off the bed in his sleep. Andrew would love it as well! ?
Nicole says
Silly question, but will you work out thanksgiving morning?!
Mix and Match Mama says
I will not! I will stay in my pjs and enjoy the lazy morning 😉 .
JoAnn says
Our bedding is from Pottery Barn and I love it! Happy happy Thanksgiving!!! And happy move in day! ?
Jacquelyn Sheehan says
Frette!! Pricy but truly life changing. Every piece has a clean classic look but the comfort can’t be beat. The store in Boston makes me want to win the lottery!
Mix and Match Mama says
Eeeeeeks! Thank YOU!!!!!
Paige B says
We have been loving Crate & Barrel lately. Also, Serena & Lily has the best sheets…. EVER. They are so soft!
Mix and Match Mama says
Yay!!!! Thank you so much!!!
Leasa Zeppa says
Bella Notte has beautiful bedding. I think you will love it because they have so many options. The fabrics are beautiful and you can choose different textures. It’s perfect for layering. You can go from simple to very romantic, lace, velvet, linen, cotton…one of my layers is a coverlet and it washes beautifully. I have had it for years and it still looks perfect! There is a store in Dallas that carries Bella Notte. Go look and lay your hands on their products! You will love them!!
Mix and Match Mama says
oh my goodness!! Thank you!!!!
Ralinn says
Goodness the picture of bedroom makes me so smile big. It has been a long time coming. I’m happy for you. I love the velvet top. It is classy but can be worn with jeans.
Mix and Match Mama says
Thank you!!!!!!
Angela says
Praying for Ashby’s next surgery…she is one incredible little girl!! When will she be having it? This mama will keep you all in my prayers!!! xo
Mix and Match Mama says
Thank you so much! You really have no idea how much that means. We’re supposed to set it at her next post-op appointment at the beginning of December. Thank you!!
Christina Adamson says
I love Ballard Designs!
Mix and Match Mama says
I haven’t look there yet! Thank you!!!!
Victoria says
Bella Notte – the best ever!!! Last forever and is classic and so soft.
Mix and Match Mama says
Thank you!!!!!!!
Joy says
I know they’re not the best top quality sheets…but Target has cozy flannel sheets on sale. I usually buy flannel sheets from Pottery Barn but they don’t have any for sale this year. I bought a pair of forest green flannel sheets from target and they are so cozy and a better quality than I thought! Happy thanksgiving!
Heather H says
I absolutely love Bailey McCarthy’s bedding from Biscuit! It is so soft and the colors are so fun and it is all made here in the USA.
https://www.biscuit-home.com/
Heather says
Try Caitlin Wilson Designs or Biscuit Home
Mix and Match Mama says
Awwwwww! I love Caitlin Wilson Designs!!
Megan says
We watched jingle jangle as a family last night after my mom recommended it…it was so cute!!
Paige M Wright says
Yes to Bella Notte!! The best. I’ve got to know about your fan in your bedroom, so gorgeous! I have been looking for new fans for a few of our rooms and have not seen anything I love. I LOVE yours! Deets please? 🙂
Alison says
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!! Love all the sweaters! 🙂
I recently got some new bedding at Target. It’s from the Home & Hand Collection. Then, I put my PB Quilt with it. I just love it! They have a lot to choose from, but I don’t see my exact style online.
Tara says
Pottery Barn and Brooklinen are my go-tos for bedding. Enjoy being back in your room!
Arika says
We also have Boll and Branch sheets, which are great. A couple of years ago we were also gifted flannel sheets from Land’s End. I would never have thought to by bedding from Land’s End but they are AH-mazing sheets and have held up through years of washing and drying. No piling at all. If you have never looked at the Company Store, they also have really fantastic, good quality bedding and have been around for years. It’s one of my favorite catalogs to get in the mail and look through. Hope you find something you love!
Mix and Match Mama says
We use Lands End flannel sheets year around and LOVE them too!!!!!
Jenna says
Hands down Boll and Branch are the best! They usually have a promo code too.
Kim says
Hello Shay! This is a random question, but could you give me the link for that tarte palette that you bought last year and love? I think they are having a sale and I tried to go back and find it but I can’t.
Thanks!!
Congratulations on getting your house back!
Mix and Match Mama says
Oh my gosh!! I was JUST looking at it and sending it to another reader! It’s actually Too Faced!! I love it so much!! It’s right here; https://www.sephora.com/product/natural-lust-palette-P441853?skuId=2192920&icid2=products%20grid:p441853:product
Kim says
Thank you!!
Paige Sullivan says
Shay! You have to consider Somnvie for your bedding… Sleep Well, Live Well-It’s a newer luxury bedding company and fabulous!♥️ Trust me:)
Laura says
I have been buying my bedding from Crane and Canopy for years. Everything washes and dries well, the comforters, duvets, sheets, everything. I even love their towels!
Maggie Eterno says
I’m excited for you!! I can’t imagine how happy you are to have your space back.
I’m also looking for new bedding. Currently I have the quilted comforter from Target. I’ve had it for almost 10 years and I love it. It’s so hard to switch it up because I can’t find anything else I love. Can’t wait to see what you decide on!
Alyssa says
Happy Thanksgiving to you all! As far as bedding goes, I’ve been unimpressive with Pottery Barn lately and they’ve always been my go to for duvets and shams. Not I’m on the Ballard train.. never considered getting their bedding but great patterns and comfy feel! Hope you find something you love!
Alyssa says
Ah, typo city!
*umimpressed
*Now I’m on the Ballard train..
Joanne says
What a wonderful Thanksgiving present! I bet it will feel so fantastic to be all moved back in.
Leslee B says
PEACHSKIN SHEETS! I REPEAT…PEACHSKIN SHEETS! Sorry for yelling. ?. These are THE BEST sheets! They are so super soft, last forever, and I believe they’re made in the USA! My whole family has them…mama, SIL, kids, etc!
Cherie says
Horchow has a wide variety of beautiful bedding and frequently has sales.
Lisa's Two Cents says
So happy for you – that is so exciting! Have a great Thanksgiving and awesome weekend!
Amanda W says
Random question! Do you know an easy way to get the stickers off new window? So glad you are able to get back into your room! It looks great!
Mix and Match Mama says
Goo Gone!
Ann says
Hi Shay! Happy Thanksgiving! Can you share where the gold necklace you’re wearing with the black top is from? It looks so pretty on you!
Mix and Match Mama says
Kendra Scott!
Jane says
Check out Kathy Kuo Home for bedding and decor! Chic and timeless.
Darcy says
I recently bought our guest room bedding at Rejuvenation and have been happy and my mother-in-law seemed to enjoy too! Happy thanksgiving and moving wishes! What a day of celebration for you!!
Jewell says
I struggled with bedding recently too because I just do not “love” anything I see commercially available. I have Moderate White walls in my bedroom (whole house actually because it is the best warm white color ever) and Aqua Smoke ceilings. I wanted bedding that kept the room bright. I hate wrinkles therefore standard duvets never work for me. I ended up having a lady make a king duvet cover and three euro shams using a cream colored matelasse fabric I found that comes from Portugal. Because our bed is tall and I have OCD about the quilt/blanket fitting perfectly so I can tuck it in on each side, I bought a herringbone sateen quilt from Restoration Hardware that fits perfectly. I chose the bluish/greenish eucalyptus color that compliments the Aqua Smoke ceiling very well. To tie the quilt together with the duvet cover and shams, I had a very large bolster made using Schumacher Arklow Paisley fabric in the Stone color. The creamy white background in the fabric works well with the creamy matelasse duvet cover and shams, while the paisley design, has the bluish/green that matches the RH quilt color.
The only sheets I buy are Sferra or Frette, both expensive, but last forever and you cannot beat a true Egyptian cotton percale sheet. I tried Peacock Alley, but with my mattress depth, the fitted sheet kept slipping up. Sleep is so, so, so critical, investing in a high quality mattress and sheet set is very important in my opinion.
Sara says
Hi! Happy Thanksgiving! Can you link the earrings you’re wearing in the photo with the Caslon gray sweater? Thank you! ?
Mix and Match Mama says
Those are Kendra Scott!
Gina says
Hi Shay!
Where can we find the 2 gold bangle bracelets you are wearing with your velvet top?
Happy Thanksgiving!
Gina
Mix and Match Mama says
Kendra Scott!
Andrea says
Recently replaced our bedding with Brooklinen. Absolutely love it!!
Happy Thanksgiving!! Glad you are moving back into your room!
Kirsten J says
I’ve always loved Pottery Barn, too…but I wish they’d change it up a bit.
Elizabeth says
You absolutely have to get bedding from Parachute!! I received a quilt for a gift and went out immediately and bought the matching shams. My mom liked how ours looked and felt so much she went out and bought it for every one of her guest bedrooms!
Megan says
Beddys! We just got ours and it is by far the most comfortable bedding we have ever had. I will never be able to go back to other bedding! They are lined with minky and ridiculously soft. Plus’s the zippers make it so easy to make your bed. Had to get them for my kids too. They can make their own bed in seconds now and has been total game changer. Their sets are very basic looking so I just added some beautiful throws and decorative pillows to them. Use code BETSY for their best discount!

Serena W. says
We have Bella Notte and Restoration Hardware bedding for everyday and then our Christmas bedding is Pottery Barn. Bella Notte is definitely a splurge but sooooo worth it, it’s fabulous and all machine washable. We tried out Boll & Branch but apparently the only people on the planet who didn’t like it, we were not impressed at all.
Enjoy shopping for some new things for your room, that’s always fun! So excited for you to finally have your room, closet and bathroom back!!! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, Shay!
