I’m extra excited today because I’m partnering with my favorite retailer Nordstrom and ShopStyle and have a HUGE lineup of favorite things for spring! Who doesn’t need a little spring right now? It’s a fun-filled Friday, and as always, I’m linking up with my friends Andrea and Erika .
First though, it wouldn’t be a February 26th unless I talked about this girl here…
Four years ago today, our sweet Manda went to be with Jesus. Really, I don’t think a day goes by when I don’t think of her. Please keep her parents and kiddos in your prayers today. It’s been four years, but it’s always a hard day. She was just JOY and LOVE.
She was a true example of what a wife, mom, daughter and friend should always be. Love you, Manda.
Did you check out my Drybar video on Wednesday?! I showed you why I’m loving both of these products here…
…for making my morning hair routine oh so simple! Both the Double Shot and the Brush Crush are great tools for simplifying my hair. Love them! You can see me gush about them HERE!
Oh my goodness, so many of you reached out and told us to try these new gluten-free Oreos! Friends, they taste just the same! We’ve had so much fun using them to create other desserts as well. Thank you so much to everyone who suggested them! Might I suggest you use them to make this…
…my Oreo Peanut Butter Ice Box Pie!
PS: Yes, I have socks on in that picture. Ha! I took this pic when we didn’t have power, so I was wearing my ski socks. I didn’t have power, but I had Oreos. 😉
You know that nothing motivates me to workout more than a cute new outfit! Last month, I shared this outfit with you…
…and I love, love, loved the tights so much that I bought them in…
…a second pattern! This Sweaty Betty brand at Nordstrom really blew me away! Both the tank and the tights are comfy, not too thick and hot, wash and dry perfectly and make working out cute. The pants even have a side pocket (which I LOVE!).
I bought both the tank and the tights TTS. I have been so super pleased!
They go great with this Zella workout top (with holes for your hands!!)…
I like to tie mine on the side and off I go…
…to get coffee 🙂 . Okay, and I go off and workout too! This top comes in multiple colors, but I loved pink paradise the most!
Working out from home has been so easy thanks to cute workout clothes, these little weights…
…and my Peloton post! I have tried SO MANY OF YOUR SUGGESTIONS!!
I always feel more motivated to work out when I can put myself together in something cute, comfy and efficient (sweat-wicking, not hot, washes and dries easily). 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 2021 is invaluable. You can get all of the details about joining their Nordy Club HERE as well!
I told you guys on Wednesday that I’m ready for spring!
Two weeks ago, I was in Nordstrom and look what I bought…
…how cute are these pearl jelly sandals?! Agh! I am in love!!! They also come in clear and in black, but my heart loved this neutral color.
My practical heart also loved that they came with extra pearls on the off chance that one goes missing!
I wore them around the house the other day just to put myself in the springtime mood…
If you’re feeling a little light and spring-y, I’m all about the neutrals these days. You’ve heard me talk about this tee a bazillion times. It comes in a plethora of solid colors and is the “perfect” tee. (I would size up!) My pants? They’re Wit & Wisdom, of course! I love that they’re actual “pants” and not denim. Sometimes, you just need a real pant 😉 . Don’t forget, you need to size down when ordering Wit & Wisdom pants and jeans!! They’re my favorite brand right now!! My arrow necklace is HERE and my moon necklace is HERE (right now, it’s 40% off).
If you’re in a spring mood too, I rounded up a few new things from Nordstrom just for you!
Same pants, cozy sweater in a bright color!
And then, friends, WHAT IS UP WITH THE SIDE PART AND SKINNY JEANS MEMES?!
Whoa.
I came out of the snow, and that’s all I saw on my feed.
Bahahaha!
Here’s the deal, in my opinion, you do you. Whatever works on your body and makes YOU feel good about YOU, do that. BUT…look what I happened to have bought pre-snow…
…some jeans that weren’t “skinny”. I think skinny jeans will still forever be my jam, but these are fun, right?! Of course, they’re sold out, but I found some similar options for HERE.
My cozy pullover (and it’s realllllllllllly soft!) is a #winner too!! It comes in other colors as well. Plus…
…these wedges. I cannot wait for sandal season!! They run TTS and are actually quite comfy!
I pulled together this spring shoe collage from Nordstrom for some other options too…

Okay, when I saw this, I squealed out loud! Friends, look what two worlds collided last week…
The new podcast I’m listening to (thanks to you!) and The Five Love Languages book!
What? What?
Yes! How cool is that?!
So, you guys gave me a long list of podcasts to listen to, and Sibling Revelry has been one of my faves. Well, last week, their newest episode was with Dr. Gary Chapman who wrote The Five Love Languages book many, many, many years ago that I just raved about in my love language post. I thought the timing was perfection and the interview really fun. It made me happy, so I had to share 🙂 .
And to complete my spring-yness today with Nordstrom…
And I don’t know where I’m wearing this romper, but I’m certainly going to look cute when I get there! Isn’t it adorable?! It also comes in red, but I thought the navy was super my style!
And wrapping up today…
…I’m sharing the Best Buffalo Recipes!
Oh my gosh.
I am obsessed with Buffalo sauce.
If you want a bunch of flavorful and delicious recipes like…
…my Buffalo Ranch Chicken Tortilla Soup click HERE!
I’m off, friends! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I’ll see you back here on Monday with my February Book Review! xo

Amanda says
Would you wear the navy romper to a wedding? I can’t really tell how dressy it is.
Mix and Match Mama says
To an outdoor wedding in the late summer, spring, yes!
Charmaine Ng | Architecture & Lifestyle Blog says
You have the cutest outfits! Have a lovely weekend! ❤️✨

Beth Knecht says
Yes! So glad you got the g-free Oreos!! I’ve had mine for weeks and last night I ate them and my husband ate regular and said “You can’t even tell the difference; now you can make so many recipes!” Yay!
Sheaffer Sims says
Missing our girl today. And those pearl sandals!!!!! Oh my word!
Nancy says
Those outfits and sandals make me wish it was spring already! Hope to see you on my Fancy Friday linkup party!
Jennibell says
What post has all of the podcasts listed? I would love a good list to browse!
Mix and Match Mama says
It was the comment section of a What’s Up Wednesday (I think…maybe a Friday Faves??). So many people gave suggestions, and I jotted down a big list. This was one of the most requested. If you are a fan of The Office, Office Ladies is my very favorite!
Mconradt says
I can’t find that comment section. Any chance you could find the date of the post?

Johannah says
That romper is too cute! FYI, I got those Marc Fisher wedge sandals last year and they are soooooo comfy. I went in to Nordstrom to buy a pair of wedges that Sheaffer told me to, and the sales guy talked me into this pair instead. It gave me pause to spend that much on wedges (because they aren’t an every day shoe) but I’m so glad I did!! I’ve wasted hundreds on various uncomfortable pairs over the years that still sit in my closet. ? Live and learn!!
Mix and Match Mama says
I cannot wait until the weather warms up, and I can wear them!! Happy Friday!!
Beth Wilson says
Very excited about the gluten free oreos. LOL!!! My husband and I think our youngest has a gluten intolerance so we’re going to switch foods. Oreos are one of her favorites and she’ll be excited she has a new option!
Cortny says
I thought for sure I was going to come on here today and see that one of your Friday favorites was the announcement of the Frasier reboot! <3
Mix and Match Mama says
I haven’t heard about that???? Looking it up right now!!!!!
Nerine says
Hi Shay! Is your grey Apple Watch band from Apple? I looked on the website but didn’t see grey ones being sold. Thank you!
Mix and Match Mama says
It is from Apple, but it’s not current. I’m sorry!!
Joanne says
Who needs power when you have Oreos?! LOL.
Mix and Match Mama says
Exactly! Desperate times call for Oreos. 😉
Amy says
Hello, I really enjoy following your blog, especially your book reviews!
I was wondering if you have nutritional information you could provide for your recipes?
Thanks!
Mix and Match Mama says
I don’t! I’m sorry!
Jane Lemoine says
I am going to have to try those Oreos! We are cutting out gluten right now to see if it helps one of my kiddo’s constant tummy troubles! The TEARS over bread are just beyond! LOL!!
Mix and Match Mama says
Oh girl!!!!!! Yes!!
Katie says
Question about the Drybar Brush Crush…looks super simple! I think my tween daughter would love it as she doesn’t yet have the straight iron thing down (we only do it for special occasions but I have to do it for her). I’d be curious to know if Kensington has tried using it and what her thoughts were/are!
Mix and Match Mama says
I think this would be PERFECT for a tween or teen!!
Angie Chismar says
I have followed you for so long and just love your blog! I have an off-subject for question that I just thought about asking you while I was washing dishes! How do you separate or prioritize time with your littles vs big or vise versa? My oldest (almost 11) quite frequently reminds me that he didn’t have such a late bed time etc as his newly 7 year old sister… among other things. How do you give the bigs their time without leaving out the littles?
Mix and Match Mama says
Oh gosh, that’s a great question, and I’m not sure I have an exact method. I would say that by default, my littles get way more time with me because the bigs are busier/gone more often, so when I do have the bigs at home, I don’t mind saying to the littles that it’s my time with them to hang out/chat/cook since they’re not home as much. The good thing for me is that I have two littles, so it’s easy for them to go off and play while I hang out with one of the bigger kids (and they’re not being left out).
Elizabeth says
Could you please share where your adorable hot pink slippers are from? I have been looking for some “summery” ones and these would be perfect! Thanks!
Mix and Match Mama says
Those are Uggs too!!! I bought them over the summer and love them!
Elizabeth says
OMG, the gluten free Oreos!! Can’t wait to grab those. I’ve always wondered why in the world Thats they not made gluten free Oreos yet?! Side part and slinky jeans FOREVER!!!!
Nicole says
Do you still go to the gym or just workout at home?
Mix and Match Mama says
A combination!
