Happy Monday, friends!
I’m settling in for a cozy day at home to work which means…I’ll probably drink about 14 cups of coffee. Anyone else do that when the temperature drops? I’ll be running circles around my house in no time flat 😉 .
Last week, I posted this pic on IG…
…because I thought my sleeping littles looked cozy and sweet inside their tent…BUT, I had so many questions about it and other things we’ve been Prime-ing lately, that I thought I’d do a little Amazon Lately today.
We now have two of these ladders. It’s a super random Amazon find, but we use them all the time because they’re adjustable and very easy to carry, manipulate and use (I’m not very tall, so it’s nice that I can easily use it too!). My grandmother’s hubby first told us to get one…and we love it!
When I just looked, my Amazon account said that I’ve now purchased these bins (two come in a set) three times! I love these for storage!! I have four of them in my closet and two in the little girls’ closet. They’re light, they fold up, and they hold more than you would think.
Smith loves a weighted blanket when he reads or watches TV. This is a child’s size blanket, so it’s not too heavy or big for him (he’s almost 11). I didn’t understand the whole “weighted blanket” thing until I bought this one. On Thursday night, I even slept with this one!
I shared this clock with you before…but we bought it again because our resident middle schooler needed help getting up in the morning. Pro tip, put the alarm clock further away from the sleeping kiddo so that they have to actually get out of bed to turn it off 🙂 .
I am not sure why these next two pics are so small (sigh) BUT, I bought this super inexpensive pack of gloves (two to a pack) for my little girls to take to school (for recess outside), and I was really impressed with the quality! For like $7 a pair, I thought they were made really well, and I’m super pleased!
Finally, this is Andrew’s current favorite mask. I think it’s been harder for him to find one he loves that fits well (since he’s so tall), but this one fits great!
After I posted my New Year’s Resolutions last week, a sweet blog reader suggested I complete this Bible study. I started it this morning!! I’m so excited!!
My new favorite bathroom trashcan. Ha! I love this one because it’s taller (so my curious dogs cannot poke their heads inside). I loved the first one so much that I bought a few more to swap out in other bathrooms/my office.
My very favorite protein drink!! I also bought it in chocolate this month too, but the caffe latte is my fave. This is a great mid-day snack!
Kensington read this book over winter break and LOVED it!! We had so many great conversations as she was reading it.
The only leather cleaner we use!! When Restoration Hardware delivered our couch, they suggested it…it’s fantastic and works on everything leather/faux-leather we have!
Don’t forget, I keep one big running list of all of my Amazon faves in one place! You can see them all right HERE!
I will do a post later this month with my favorite Amazon finds from 2020…so stay tuned for that!
That’s it for your Monday! I hope you have a wonderful start to your week! I’ll see you back here tomorrow, friends!! xo

I recently posted my Amazon finds too! http://www.allaboutthatmommylife.com/2021/01/amazon-finds-december-2020.html?m=1
We ended up buying a scale for our home. We’ve never had one before but with the gyms being partially closed down here we figured it was time to start paying attention to that ? it’s tracks our body fat percentage and a whole bunch of other stuff too– kinda cool!
Have a great day!
Erika Slaughter says
That protein drink is my favorite flavor too!! I never thought about ordering some to arrive straight at my door!
Kristen says
Love the premier protein drinks and Costco sells some flavors. Someone taught me this tip and it is so good. Large cup of ice, shot of espresso(late in the day I use decaf), either the Carmel or vanilla protein shake. It is like a iced latte.
Brenda says
Just an FYI those shakes are on sale at Costco right now too. 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
Thank you!!
Christy says
When do you drink them? Post workout? Morning? Just curious because I just started drinking protein shakes.
Mix and Match Mama says
I typically drink them in the afternoon in lieu of a snack!
Alexis deZayas says
I got a weighted blanket for Christmas and literally use it the second I sit on the couch or get in bed. I can’t get enough!
Elspeth says
So fun! I just ordered a new laptop sleeve for my Mac book! It’s been working great! I love everything you can find on Amazon!

Regarding the smaller pictures, I kind of like them being smaller! The other pictures show up HUGE on my end and don’t even fit on my screen because they’re so large. Since the captions are below the picture, I have to scroll down to read about the picture first and then scroll back up to view the image. It’s a lot of up-and-down for me.
Karah Stracener says
That tent is too cute and I just added that alarm clock to my amazing list. Thanks for sharing!
JUdy Pfretzschner says
Thanks for heads up on “Mad About You”! We are enjoying it so much!!
Mix and Match Mama says
Oh my gosh, me too!!!! I’m so glad Amazon brought it back!!
MK says
Did you ever watch the show “Wings” set in Nantucket? We’ve been watching it on Hulu and it’s still so funny and charming. It’s around the same time frame as “Mad About You” so you should check it out!
Mix and Match Mama says
Religiously!! my parents still watch the old DVDs today!!!
Sheaffer Sims says
So now I can only think about your grandmother’s hubby on the ladder. #ihaveaxietyaboutit
Mix and Match Mama says
I literally just lol!
Melissa Terry says
I love the tent- it reminds me of the one Graham’s girls have in The Holiday!
Mix and Match Mama says
Me too!!!!!!!!
Joanne says
I have those same gray cloth bins in our pantry holding our paper towels, napkins, extra light bulbs, etc. and I just love them!

Ellibelle says
These are such great amazon finds! The play tent looks so cute!
I’m the opposite with face masks. Every mask is too big on me!
Rebecca Jo Vincent says
I totally have to try that flavor protein drink!
Mel says
I thought it was a healthy choice and considered buying it months ago, but it was featured as an unhealthy option on the @Just.Ingredients page. It has a lot of “bad” ingredients like carrageenan, DATEM and artificial sweeteners like sucralose. Darn!
Lynne Thomas says
Shay, Thank you so very much for posting about the leather cleaner. I had put my hubbie on that task but as the months go by I have not seen it. So thanks for the post for info on leather care I just ordered it from Amazon!!! Thanks for all your helpful hints and products you use!!!
Mix and Match Mama says
you will really love it!!!
Erinn says
What do you store in the bins in your closet? They are a great idea!
Mix and Match Mama says
In the girls’ closet, I store their seasonal clothes (fall, Christmas) and then in my closet, I have my winter hats and gloves in one and then all of my Red Sox tees in the other!
Laura says
Ooh, I’m going to need to order that tent! So cute! Will you be doing a Christmas break recap? Did you end up getting to do some skiing like you hoped?
Mix and Match Mama says
I don’t think so! I stopped recapping our christmas several years ago. We ended up skiing in Park City, and I will probably be recapping that one after I finally get around to recapping spring break. Sigh. ugh. 😉
Laura says
I hope you do; would love to hear about your trip(s)!!!
Bernadine says
Would love a post on being an employer / business owner. What type of leader your are, how you motivate your employees. Whats your main goals for your agency, how many employees you have etc. Working on some future goals so would love to read about the early years, errors you made (how you overcame them) and some big wins along the way.
Michele Alexander says
I love to pour this cafe latte protein drink over ice and shot of espresso. It’s so yummy!
Megan says
That mask was on runners world list as the #1 mask to run in! I just amazon’d as well!
Tracey Cobb says
Can you give me some more scoop on the leather cleaner? Do you use this to help maintain/moisturize your leather, too? We just bought new leather chairs from Pottery Barn and I’ve been on the hunt for something! They already have several scratches, because kids, and I want to make sure we care for the chairs properly!
Mix and Match Mama says
We apply it for both maintenance and for scratches. You just work a small amount into the leather with a soft cloth and the scratch/mark is gone!
Lynn Sheets says
The chocolate Premier Protein is fantastic warmed up with a little whipped cream on top!! Makes a great afternoon hot chocolate!!!
Amie P says
My husband is 6’2 so I am going to order him one of those Under Armour masks, what size did Andrew get? I feel like the ones he wears for work look too small.
Mix and Match Mama says
That’s Andrew too! They just really look (so they probably are!) too small. He bought this in large/xlarge.
Abby @ That’s Life For Ya says
Hey Shay! I know this is SUPER random, but I made a list of books that I think Kensington would love! I am 13, so I have moved on to the YA books, but these are all books I read when I was her age. All of them are super sweet and are great for girls her age!
The Dragon Slippers Series by Jessica Day George – there are three books in this series that I loved, it is super sweet, and never gets old!
The Princess Academy Series by Shannon Hale – this is also a three-book series. These books are on the longer side, the second one is around 320 pages.
Anne of Green Gables abridged version – I am sure you have heard of this book, if not read it already! It has such a sweet message and is a really great read! I used to love reading all of the classics like that when I was Kensington’s age!
Tuesday’s at The Castle series by Jessica Day George – also a great series that is a fun read!
I hope you have a wonderful day, and that Kensington enjoys these books if she reads them!
Mix and Match Mama says
Oh my gosh! Abby! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
Kimberly Taylor says
Masks are generally size based on the distance between middle ear to nose. Not on height. Just in case any of your readers get confused on that.
Maggie Eterno says
I love the tent!! It’s so dreamy!!
