It’s FRIDAY! I’m extra jolly today because I’m partnering with my favorite retailer Nordstrom and ShopStyle both today and next week and sharing some last minute holiday finds for your season!
Friends, this is my last Friday Favorites for 2020.
What? What?
Yes!
This year is finally about over 😉 .
Just like every week, I’m linking up with my friends Andrea and Erika today and sharing some of my faves! I hope you all have the BEST weekend!!
Okay, I am trying to get myself in a good place for the first of the year NOW versus waiting until January 1st to think about you know…health, fitness, resolutions and all of that other January-y stuff 😉 . I have been wearing these sneakers…
…every single day for more than a month now. I have walked the dogs in them, run miles in them, worn them to my strength training classes and used them for errands around town. They are so supportive, so comfy and so cute!!
If you’re looking for a new pair of shoes to help you get fit/active/healthy in 2021, I really do love these! They run true to size (some sneakers do not!) and provide a lot of support. They come in several different colors too, but my heart belongs to this champagne/barely rose 🙂 . By the way, I love this top too, and in select colors, it’s currently on sale! It’s great for layering!
This top here is great for layering too!
And then, of course, you know how much I love this coat 🙂 . I’m ready for long walks on cold days now! You can see all of Nordstrom’s activewear in one place right HERE just in case you’re looking to get ahead of New Year’s and those darn resolutions.
This week, I shared so many of my family’s favorite Christmas-y things! Just in case you missed it…
You can check out our HOLIDAY HOME TOUR!
You can listen to our HOLIDAY PLAYLIST!
Enjoy our HOLIDAY COCKTAIL!
And see this year’s JAMMY COCOA CHRISTMAS!
It might be 2020, but we’re still fitting in the Christmas fun!
In between all of my holiday movie watching, I’ve been catching episodes of the second season of Virgin River on Netflix. If you haven’t watched this show, I highly recommend it! It’s very Hallmark-y but a tad more “mature”. It’s one of my favorite series right now!
Speaking of holiday movies…I need you to weigh in. Do you love The Family Man and consider it a Christmas movie…or are you on Team Andrew and dislike it? What about The Family Stone? We have very different opinions on those two movies in our house.

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!
Speaking of gift ideas, here’s one for the men in your life…
…Andrew received this battery station box thing as a gift, so I do not have a link…but if you find one, get it for your man. Andrew loves this thing. All of our batteries have now been organized (who knew they needed to be sorted and organized?!), and he’s seriously so proud of his box. If you need a battery, please come over. Andrew has them for you!
Okay friends…remain calm.
Guess what is back in stock?!
MY JOGGERS!!!!!
These joggers right here were the hit of the spring…but they sold out FAST! I absolutely love them and haven’t found a pair that comes even close to these. They run TTS, and I’m so happy they’re back in stock!
I just couldn’t quit ’em this spring.
Seriously, I love them so much! Ha!
And last but not least today…
…I have all of the holiday appetizers your family needs for the season. Is there anything better than a holiday movie and appetizer? Give me all the cream cheese right now. All of it. You can see all of my faves RIGHT HERE. I bet you’ll find one or two you need to make!!
That wraps up my final Friday Favorites of 2020! Who knew when we started this year that we would all be so thankful to see the year come to an end?! I will be back here next week for my last week of blogging of the year. I hope to see all of you back here on Monday! xo
Laura m says
Family Man is definitely a Christmas movie!!
Kristen Thompson says
I totally agree! My family watches it every single year on Christmas Eve; it’s one of my moms favorites! I love it too!!
Crissy says
My favorite Christmas movie is the old Little Women. Blessings
Mix and Match Mama says
I forget about that one!! Thank you!
kathy says
The one with Wynona Ryder? Me, too!
Tracie says
Haha! Old and I think Katherine Hepburn.
Elspeth says
So much fun holiday cheer in one post!! I love it! I hope you have a great weekend!

Beth Knecht says
Is the rug in your guest room still available? Wondering if you remember where you purchased it?
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s from Pottery Barn!
Bernadine says
Virgin River…. Absolutely loved it! ! Really hope there will be a 3rd season. And, can we talk about the length of your hair in that last Pic? Wow! Have a great weekend, Shull family!
Vanda says
I loved your Christmas home tour! Do you have any favorite pine candles from Bath & Body Works? They are having a sale, and I would like to get some for gifts as well. Thank you for sharing your beautiful family & home with us!
Sarina says
Stop what you’re doing and try the Beyond Yoga Waffle knit sweatpants and sweatshirt. They are amazing!!!!
Also – amazing recommendation on hallmark movies (anything with Candace Cameron Bure) – currently on a binge and loving all her Christmas movies!
Erika Slaughter says
You’re gonna be so disappointed but I’ve never seen The Family Man. Should I watch?
Dana says
I’m so glad you’re talking about Family Man!! We have watched it every year since we got married (only at Christmas!)-so we’re on year 18 now! It is maybe my favorite movie ever. I don’t know why more people don’t talk about it this time of year. It’s great!!! (Sorry for the hyperbole…I just feel so seen right now! Hahahaha)
Mix and Match Mama says
Bahahaha! Dana, YES!!! I don’t know why more people don’t talk about it either?! It’s so good!!
Chea says
The battery organizer is sold at Bed, Bath & Beyond. My mom purchased several for gifts this year so my husband is getting one! Glad to know it’s a worthwhile purchase!
Mix and Match Mama says
Thank you!!!
kathy says
I love The Family Stone at Christmas!
Jill says
I appreciate the battery thing. Funny story about batteries, I was at my friends house a long time ago and he was asking if we needed anything (like a drink or snack whatever) and kept asking so I said I needed batteries because we had just been talking needing two earlier and he was so excited to say yes he has batteries, so he sent me home with two AA batteries. I bet Andrew would be the same way!!
Mix and Match Mama says
Bahahaha! Andrew would be so proud!
Ranisa Brletich says
I seriously stopped reading this in the middle and went to amazon to look for a battery storage case. DREAMY! My kids have batteries all over the house! There was this joy that I felt in my chest. I was giddy. Forget getting it for my husband I want it!
Mix and Match Mama says
YESSSS!! I’m so happy you found it!
Kate says
I love The Family Stone! I wrap presents to it each year!
Mix and Match Mama says
Me too!
Lindsey says
Me, too! 🙂 I don’t see how anyone would think it’s NOT a Christmas movie – love it so much.
Kelly says
When will you be doing What’s Up Wednesday for December? ?
Mix and Match Mama says
Honestly, I need to check with Sheaffer! I think I’ll skip it this year and she’ll do it on the 23rd. (I think!)
Julie says
What size are you in the joggers? I’m debating trying the XXS on the Vuori website since Nordstrom doesn’t carry, but hoping the XS work! I have the charcoal Heather and love!
Mix and Match Mama says
I’m wearing an xs!
Michelle says
Highly recommend reading the first few Virgin River books! I read the series years ago and loved it. They made some pretty big changes for the show so I think it’d be interesting to read the original story.
Mix and Match Mama says
That’s what my mom says too!!!!
Kate says
The books are so good!!
Sarah says
I love the Family Man! And I feel like I’m cheating on Christmas movies by watching Virgin River but I can’t help myself!!
Angie Sharp says
The battery organizer link

Mix and Match Mama says
Awesome! Everyone should buy one! 😉
Rachael says
Totally agree with the battery organizer! My husband told me a few days ago that it was one of the best purchases he has ever made! Who knew? LOL! Also, The Family Stone is definitely a Christmas movie! I love that movie so much…it gives me all the feels! Merry Christmas and thanks for all of the great ideas!
Mandy Wahl says
I purchased those jogger recently and then purchased them in the wine color. And then got them for all of my friends and family for Christmas. They are amazing!!!!!
Kayla Bruce says
Even though it’s problematic, I’d definitely say Love Actually for a favorite Christmas movie. I did love Family Man as a kid, though! Not a fan of Family Stone. haha. Question: what is the brand of the black bracelet that you often wear on your wrist with your apple watch?? It looks so cute with the Tory Burch band!
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s Hermes! And Love Actually is one of my all-time faves, Kayla!!
Talitha says
As always, I am thoroughly enjoying all the Christmas on your blog! I love stories of your family, your book reviews, wht you’re eating, what you are wearing, travels…all of it…but since you asked, My husband and I watched The Family Stone because of your rec and those of other readers, and we hated it. He didn’t even want to finish it. Hallmark happy ever after has us spoiled…and have you ever noticed the gorgeous coats the women in those movies wear? We’ve started counting them! Thank you for being such such an uplifting happy place to start the day!
Shannon K. says
I love both the Family Man and The Family Stone. I watch them both during the Christmas season. Have you seen New In Town with Renee Zellweger and Harry Connick, Jr.? It’s not really a Christmas movie, but it’s wintry and there’s a Christmas scene in it. It’s one of my favorites!
Therese says
Love Family Stone and forgot about Family Man but it was good. While You Were Sleeping is also cute and worth watching:)
Amanda @ Cupcake N Dreams says
Love the athletic top! Your house tour was so Christmas cozy and glad your house was all together again! Have a cheery weekend!
xo

Amanda @ That Inspired Chick says
I’m still mad we didn’t walk away with the Battery Daddy (that’s it’s official name by the way ???) that night!! We made do with Toilet Golf. ⛳️? Still need to pick up a couple for my dad and Craig! Genius gift for guys! That Inspired Chick
Amy says
We actually watched Family Man last night. We have always liked it at Christmas! And the Family Stone is one of my favorites!! My favorite part is when Meredith gifts the family the pictures of their mom when she was pregnant. Get a little teary eyed every time!
Jenn Workman says
I got a battery organizer for myself as well, but listen- mine ALSO checks the life of the battery! It is the coolest thing and verifies my nerdiness haha. The brand is Arnagar and I got it from (where else) Amazon.
Kim says
Family Man is one of our favorite Christmas movies! Every Christmas, my husband and I set aside a night to watch it. We even quote it during the year ;). The monologue at the end!!!!
Lizzie says
LOVE Virgin River! Not a big Hallmark movie fan, but love Virgin River–especially Jack. LOL Merry Christmas, Shay!
Charmaine Ng | Architecture & Lifestyle Blog says
Your new running shoes are super cute, I love the colour! 🙂

Joanne says
I love Virgin River and enjoy both The Family Stone and The Family Man and do think of them as Christmas-y movies. We have a battery organizer that hangs on our garage wall and I really like it but I am the only one that actually puts batteries in it and I have to remind people to look for batteries there.
Samantha says
I stopped mid-blog to order the battery case for my husband and my dad! They are the hardest to shop for! And I think they’ll LOVE it!
Mix and Match Mama says
Yay!!!!!
Bea says
Family Man … absolutely a Christmas movie and favorite movie any time of year. It’s a modern take on It’s a Wonderful Life, and it’s superb! Family Stone is just ok for me.
Emily says
Can you link the “You had me at Tacos” shirt? 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
It was an Amazon find from the spring!
Dawn Earwood says
My family laughs at me in the joy I get over my batter organizer. Mama’s (and Papa’s) you NEED one in your life. If you’re an organizer you’ll be giddy. If you’re disorganized, you’ll be giddy. ‘Nuff said.
Anne says
Another great idea is a battery charger and rechargeable batteries!
Alyssa says
We love The Family Man! I mean, it’s no “It’s A Wonderful Life” but it’s on our annual watch list! I always seem to fall asleep at the same part when they have a date night in the city then sleep through the rest of it. No kidding.. every year!
The movie that I don’t get all the hype about is “Love actually”.. do I just not get it?! The porn guy just doesn’t need to be part of it and makes me not like it! I know I know.. everyone loves it!
Toni Keenan says
Family Stone is my FAVORITE Christmas movie!!
Sarah says
Hi Shay! I am so with you and absolutely love the Family Stone-one of my favorite movies of all time and I watch it every year! I forgot about the Family Man!! Gotta watch it again!
Marianne says
Family Stone is one of my FAVORITE Christmas movies. I appreciate a movie that truly represents what families look like and makes me feel a myriad of emotions. A great story and good music!
DANIELLE K RIGG says
My husband has the same better organizer. He was a Boy in the candy shop when it came in the mail. Every time we need a battery, he has the biggest smile taking one out!!!
Agree great present. He has also bought it for our friends who just bought a new home! They love it too. So make great house warming present.
Tina says
Totally unrelated, but I’ve seen you post about the Pottery Barn kids sleeping bags before. I would love to order them for my kids this year. Have they held up well, and can your big kids still fit in them? Thanks in advance!
Mix and Match Mama says
YES and YES!!! They are still one of our favorite things!!! They’ve stood the test of time!
Kellie Bowers says
The Family Man is definitely a Christmas movie!!! It’s one of my favorites and I have to watch it every year!
angi @ mamamindful.com says
I love the Nikes! You can never go wrong with Nikes. Love the pretty in pink color.
Renee says
I watch The Family Stone every year and I cry cry cry. I totally forgot about Family Man, will add it to my Christmas watch list.
Just ordered the Battery Daddy, was stumped on presents for my hubby and this is perfect. And those shoes!!! So cute Oh and I just might have to watch Virgin River, never heard of it.
