It’s What’s Up Wednesday!
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.
Today is also the very last day of March which makes me giddy because I have warm weather on the brain right now. Anyone else? It only takes about two warm days in a row to make my heart giddy for summer.
A.N.Y.W.A.Y…back to March. I’m wrapping up our month with a little what’s up with this and that 🙂 . Happy Wednesday! xx
1: WHAT WE’RE EATING THIS WEEK:
Have you tried my Buffalo Ranch Chicken Tortilla Soup? It’s such a fave around here! It’s not too heavy, so it’s perfect for your spring supper!
Also, I have so many Easter recipes!
You should make my Lucky Charms Treats…
…and my Smoky Pecan Deviled Eggs…
…and of course, my Resurrection Rolls!
You can see all of my Easter recipes HERE!
2. WHAT I’M REMINISCING ABOUT:
Kensington’s first Easter!
Ohhhhhh! Where did that little baby go?!?!
Someone make it stop. It’s going by too fast.
3: WHAT I’M LOVING:
How cute are these sneakers?! These aren’t for running or weight training…these are my “I need comfy shoes while doing life” sneakers. I’m obsessed with how cute and comfy they are! They’ve already been great companions at baseball games. Speaking of which…
4: WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO:
Soccer, volleyball, baseball, repeat. Spring sports are in full swing right now…and I’m trying to soak up every little minute. Our baseball fam in particular means so much to my family. I’m so thankful that we get to do life with each other! I know one day, I will look back on this pic and cry. Sweet boys, sweet families and sweet memories.
5: WHAT I’M DREADING:
We go next week to meet Ashby’s new surgeon. I’m sure this person is perfectly qualified and amazing…but I’m not looking forward to the change. I know it’s all going to work out…but you know, I already miss her other doctor.
6: WHAT I’M WORKING ON:
Well, I’m sitting here right now working, working, working! Right now, is always our busiest time of the year at Mix and Match Travel Agency, and I love it! Seriously, talking to people about vacations just makes me HAPPY!!
7: WHAT I’M EXCITED ABOUT:
This guy turns 40 on Friday!
What in the world?
I swear we just met…and now, we’re 40????
This weekend, we’re going to celebrate as a family of six, but we do have a birthday trip planned for the future. I’m so excited to spend the day spoiling Andrew though. He deserves it!
8: WHAT I’M WATCHING/READING:
Yesterday, I shared my MARCH BOOK REVIEW! If you missed it, you need to go back to that post because I LOVED ALL FIVE BOOKS THIS MONTH!! It’s always so much fun to sit down with a great book and this month, I sat down with five!
As for what I’m watching…well, over the last month, I’ve watched Murder Among the Mormons on Netflix and have started The College Admissions Scandal. I’m in a “Dateline-y” kind of mood these days when I binge my shows. Any other suggestions???
9: WHAT I’M LISTENING TO:
French Café Radio, of course 😉 .
10: WHAT I’M WEARING:
My spring uniform of jeans, sweatshirt, tank and repeat. It’s also my “spring sports watching” uniform too.
Many of you have asked me about these cute earrings that I’ve worn every single day this week. They’re so light and so cute!! They come in three other colors as well. My purple sweatshirt also comes in other colors as well.
Add my sneakers, hat and tote, and I’m ready to be sports watching mom 🙂 .
I’ve been buying Barrington totes for YEARS, and typically buy the Savannah zippered style, but just recently, I bought the St. Anne zippered one instead and love how it’s just a little bit bigger. I love it so much, that I’m going to give two away today over on Instagram Stories, so make sure you hop over there in a bit to check out the details! These totes are just perfect for anything and everything which is why I keep gifting them (they make great graduation or Mother’s Day gifts!) and buying them for myself year after year.
Different night, same jeans. We went to eat Mexican food on the patio the other night, so I threw on this Amazon top I’ve told you about before (it’s such a staple!) and my fun neon yellow heels from two years ago. That top comes in many other colors too!
Check out my earrings though! Aren’t they so cute?! And they’re super light too!! I thought they just screamed “take me somewhere warm and eat a taco”. 😉 My bracelets are Allie+Bess where I always have promo code SHAY20 for you to use!
Last year, I bought these little graphic tees from J Crew and wore them just about every other day from April to September. I have posted approximately 4 billion pics of me in these tees…so as you can imagine, I was pumped when they came out with new prints this year (I bought three!). Summer wardrobe, check! Those are the joggers I bought last year and ABSOLUETLY LOVE as well. I’ve told you about these joggers…they’re so soft and comfortable. I bet I’ve washed these 40 times and they still look and feel as good as new! They come in multiple colors/patterns HERE. I cannot say enough about them! My sneakers are HERE.
11: WHAT I’M DOING THIS WEEKEND:
It’s Easter! This pic is from 2019…but you get the point. We’re excited about Easter weekend.
12: WHAT I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH:
We’re getting closer to May! I love May. May makes me really happy. In the meantime, I’m going to try and thoroughly love April 🙂 .
13: WHAT ELSE IS NEW:
Mades lost her first tooth on Monday night. Ugh. I have all the feels over here. When the baby loses her first baby tooth, that’s the end of some sort of era, right? She feels really big to me now. Sweet girl. She was so proud 🙂 .
Okay, if you blogged WUW today too, make sure you link up below! Have the best day!!
Tomorrow, PART 2 of MIAMI! Come back for that!
Ahna Fulmer // HammersNHugs.com says
Loooove those joggers! Checking them out right now!! Also just read through Andrew’s post and had to laugh at his dinner plate which looked like it was just straight meat (a man after my own heart). #meatatarian Does he have a target protein goal he shoots for every day?
Charmaine Ng | Architecture & Lifestyle Blog says
Happy early birthday to Andrew! Time really flies! Hope you’re having a great week! ❤️✨

Erika Slaughter says
Madeley!! Well that pic is precious. YES! Your sweet baby is growing up!
Sarah Shaneyfelt says
I bought those joggers after you first shared them because I was really wanting to like joggers, but the ones I had ordered previously looked terrible on me. Well, the ones you recommended are the best! I wore them constantly when it was a little cooler and you’re right–softest fabric ever! Also used your recipe to make resurrection rolls last night with my family–SO FUN!

Hi! Can you do a review of your LV on the go tote I spy in the background of your closet 😉 I have been considering it, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet and would love to know your thoughts!
Mix and Match Mama says
I use it as a carry on/travel bag only. For me, it’s too big and structured for every day use, but it’s perfect for traveling!
Julie says
Thank you for posting the jogger link! I noticed how cute they were in your Instagram stories yesterday. When I followed the link I realized it’s the same brand/pair I’ve been hearing about from all my trusted sources lately so I splurged! Picking up later today-woooo!
Happy Easter to the Shulls!
Cara L says

You must have missed the last line of today’s post…it’s tomorrow!!
Amanda @ That Inspired Chick says

Bri @ My Life As... says
Oh man I just pinned all of those recipes! They all look so good!
Maggie Eterno says
Happy Birthday to Andrew!! And oh my goodness, I just bought the Nike shoes you shared. I love a good fashion sneaker. Thank you for sharing!
I also love May! The end of a school year and the start of summer!! Now, let’s get through April, ha!
Mix and Match Mama says
That is exactly what I’m doing…getting through April. Ha!
Lisa says
Hi Shay! What size are you wearing in the black Amazon top? Thanks!
Mix and Match Mama says
small!
Kerri says
two good shows on netflix are Ginny & Georgia, and then Country Comfort that we watched with my 12 year old daughter, very cute.
Chelsea says
I always love your adorable jewelry!! Those earrings are too cute and so perfectly spring! And yay for cute Madeley!! I loved your story the other day about the tooth fairy water! That’s the best idea!!
Laura Holmes says
Awww…. I teared up when you said baseball family! My son played all the way through high school. The people you sit in the stands with through those long games do become your spring/summer family. My girls just adored them also and still miss them to this day. My son is a freshman in college this spring and I’d do anything to be back on the sidelines of a little league game. Go Smith!
Julie says
I love the Nike shoes you showed for Kensington. I am looking for some for my 12 year old daughter. She plays soccer and does CrossFit 4 mornings a week before school. She is wearing On Clouds now, but her coaches are wanting her to add more weight training to her training this summer along with increasing her running speed so I am looking for some shoes for her. Any suggestions? She is almost 5’6 and 115 lbs.
Lois says
I love love LOVE those Nike’s. What size do you wear? We are praying hard for sweet Ashby and that she loves her new surgeon. Also, I love the photo of Ashby in Andrew’s office – when did she start playing baseball/ softball?
Mix and Match Mama says
I wear an 8 and they run TTS. Also, THANK YOU! Prayers are the most important thing you can do!! Ashby played t-ball when she was four, so that’s an older pic, but a sweet one.
Mary C says
I just watched the TIna Turner documentary on HBO Max. I didn’t even really know much about her, but I walked away so inspired by her. I highly recommend!
BF says
My husband and I have also really been into documentary type shows! Have you seen Seaspiracy on Netflix?? Very interesting!
Mix and Match Mama says
Okay, you’re the second person to suggest this one! I’m looking it up now!
Sue in Oz says
Wishing Andrew a wonderful birthday weekend.
Madely is rocking her new grin!
Fantastic photo of your gorgeous kids from Easter 2019.
We binge watched Somebody Feed Phil on Netflix. Love Phil Rosenthal’s sunshine smile and happy demeanour as he tours and eats his way through wonderful cities around the world. We can’t wait for a new season of episodes.
Sherry Kenney says
We loved Somebody Feed Phil! It’s almost impossible to watch and be in a bad mood, he just loves life, travel and food!
Rebecca J Vincent says
What is Easter without resurrection rolls? 🙂
Those nikes remind me of the kind that used to be around when I was in elementary school… in the 70’s.. yikes – what goes around, comes around
Sarah Dizard says

Sheaffer Sims says
Love the jogger, graphic tee, and sneaker combo! SO CUTE!
Kay says
Thanks for the fun post . . . here’s a great show on Netflix you & Andrew would love – it’s a documentary on musician/producer David Foster “Off the Record”. It’s so intriguing!! They interview many famous musicians & your favorite Michael Buble. (Foster found him.) Foster is so arrogant, but so talented & honest it’s easy to overlook that fault! Lol.
Mix and Match Mama says
YES!! I loved that one!!! Great minds!!
Alisha says
Mia looks so much like Kensington in those first easter pictures! We recently watched Seaspiracy on netflix and I was SO intrigued.
Mix and Match Mama says
Looking it up now!
Hayley says
Hi! I looked for the tote design but I can only find the little patch or the stripe down the middle. How did you get the cute corner stripe?! thank you 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s not available on all of the patterns, but for instance, on the camo pattern, when you get to the THIRD step, you’ll see where you can pick your stripe patterns and the corner stripe is option 4 and 5.
Lydia says
Hi Shay! When is the tote giveaway? Thanks so much for doing this, I am so excited about the possibility of winning one!
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s happening now! Head to Stories!!
Lydia says
Ahhhhh!!! YAY! Your giveaways are SO generous!
Amanda says
Love the Nike shoes! Did you size up or are they TTS? Sometimes tricky with Nike/Adidas 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
TTS!
Ellen Brown says
Love your blog! Are the Resurrection rolls super sweet? More like a dessert?
Kim Weyers says
Such a fun post!! The earrings make your blue eyes look ??. Wanted to comment on your insta stories from today. I also have been on the fence about meat/no meat, but I’m 49, and have been having hormone issues. I’ve taken 3 different, unrelated courses in hormones/thyroid over the past year, and all of them feel very strongly that women need MUCH more protein as we age, to regulate hormones and keep menopause symptoms, and weight, away. The courses all said that vegetarian protein sources are missing some key, satiating and hormone regulating nutrients. Wise and Well on insta was one of them, great course! Lots of science behind it, and everyone has to do what’s best for them, but just wanted to throw that out there for anyone dealing with hormonal issues. Love your blog! ?
Natasha says
Thank you to you and Shaeffer for hosting WUW every month. I love reading through all the blogs that link up and have found some new blog friends through this. It’s so fun!
Kacy M says
Madeley and her tooth is too cute!!
Lindsey M says
Hi Shay, are Barrington bags heavy?… my mom has back and neck issues. Looking for a high quality but light weight option for her.
Mix and Match Mama says
Nope! They are actually really quite light!!
Shelly says
Ok…now I feel like I’m living some kind of twin life with you from afar…bought that Madewell sweatshirt in white but you have me thinking I really need the plum too! So cute. And that Madeley girl with the lost tooth…precious
