Happy FRIDAY!
You guys, it’s been a BIG week!
And guess what?
Monday is going to be a HUGE day, so I hope you all come back!!!
I am SO EXCITED about Monday’s post…it will probably be my favorite post of 2021, so I hope you’re all here to help me celebrate turning 4-0!!
In the meantime…
…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!!
A few weeks ago, Erika hosted a Ghoul Friend Dinner that was SO MUCH FUN!!!
I asked my friend (and makeup artist!) Erin to please come do my “zombie cheerleader” makeup…and I won Best Costume of the Night! Woohoo!!! How creepy do I look?! Actually, Erin won Best Costume 😉 . I love fun fall stuff like this!! I bought my ghoulish cheerleader outfit off of Etsy.
Hello sweater weather 🙂 .
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again.
A sweater is my favorite thing to wear.
Just look at these fun finds…
This striped sweater is a great Amazon find!! It comes in other colors and patterns too!
This isn’t even a sweater, it’s a really cute tee from Madewell. A long sleeve tee with jeans? The perfect go-to/every day outfit!
Oh my word, this sweater is a GREAT find!! It’s priced so well (only $35!) and feels like cashmere. It’s so soft, not bulky and the perfect color (although, it does come in another option too!). It runs TTS (I’m wearing xs). Also, I wear my Kut from the Kloth jeans at least two or three times a week now. They’re the ones I keep telling you about. They’re not too high, not too low, have a little stretch but don’t ever get baggy. I love them!
This sweater (in mauve) feels more like a sweatshirt…but it’s a sweater. When I had it on the other day (with those jeans again!), I thought to myself that this might be the perfect material. It also comes in a variety of colors too!
Annnnnd…
…how cute are these booties?! They come in other prints/colors and Miss Madeley James adores them!
I told you this Wednesday, but I can’t keep Kensington out of the kitchen! She has perfected the Three Ingredient Pumpkin Muffins and makes them at least twice a week. She makes the gluten-free version, but the “normal” version is HERE. She also “styled” and photographed this muffin (using my phone) the other day. How sweet is that?!
I.AM.SO.EXCITED.
Friends!!
My girls and I can hardly wait!
Look what starts today…
…YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Who else is pumped?! Do you have the app on your phone? I do! Ha! I am seriously giddy.
The State Fair of Texas is officially over (it ended on Sunday), but just when our family thought this would be the first year we wouldn’t attend (after having gone like 16 years in a row!) because of #allthebigkidsafterschoolactivities, Andrew said, “Nope, the big kids have been so many years in a row, the little girls are not missing just because their siblings have #allthethings now”. So…
…we surprised the little girls and just took them one afternoon/early evening. THEY WERE PUMPED!!! The big kids were super sweet about it…if you sign up for a million awesome after school things (did you see Wednesday’s post, SMITH!), you miss out on other things. It was a very special time at the fair with Andrew, me and the little girls.
We’re busy making as many memories as we can over here 🙂 .
If you haven’t heard, Colleen Rothschild is having 25% off with code FAMILY25! This is the skincare my mom and I both love and use (I used her Discovery Kit here on my trip as they’re great travel sizes!). If you haven’t tried it before, this is a great time with a great code!

Shay,
We have been excited since last week for Hallmark movies….and Danica stars in tonight’s!!!! Best part we are supposed to have cool weather….so we can snuggle under our warm blankets! Lol!
I had to have my device reset and thought I had my Hallmark movie list saved….nope. So I guess we have to watch them all over again!!! Lol!
Have a good weekend!
Dana P says
Sooo…what do you like about the fair? ? We went and were all excited about it, but it was a dud for us. Where did we go wrong? It was hot and super crowded and the food we got was disappointing. What do you guys like to do there? It was almost comical how much we didn’t enjoy it! ? I guess I need to go back to your old posts about it to see what we missed.
Mix and Match Mama says
Did you go during the day? I think one key is to go at night! I also think you have to “buy into” all of the fair food. Try the random fried stuff, eat a Fletcher’s Corny Dog (a must!), etc. Did you visit the car shows? Or the petting zoo? Did you see the animal shows? Ride the Ferris Wheel? Nighttime, in my opinion, is much better weather-wise and way more magical. Go on a weeknight too!!
Cathy says
So sad I don’t get the Hallmark Channel!
ashley byars says
Cathy,
We don’t either but if you download friendly app you can pay monthly and record. We do it Nov-Dec just for the hallmark Christmas movies then cancel our plan.
Kayla Sugrue says
Oh you know I’ve had my Hallmark Movie Checklist App on my phone for the whole year!
Mix and Match Mama says
Me too. Bahahaha!
Erika Slaughter says
I’m still so bummed we couldn’t make the fair!! ???
Diana says
What size in the Madewell T are you wearing?
Mix and Match Mama says
xsmall!
Joanne says
The fair looks like so much fun!
Kacy M says
