I mean…we’ve made it to Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but I am trying to sit down and soak in all the joy while also scrambling like crazy to pack it in. I am currently in this weird state of “I want to sit by the fire and read a book…er…or do I want to hop in the car and drive somewhere festive with twinkle lights and music?”.
This is my brain right now.
Trying to both rest and celebrate at the same time.
Anyone else?!
Today, I’m working and then we have the sweetest little Christmas performance this afternoon by our favorite first grader. Andrew and I are so excited.
Speaking of excited…
TOMORROW IS THE BIG DAY!!!!!!!!!!!
You guys! Tomorrow is MY FAVORITE POST OF THE ENTIRE YEAR!!!!!
I will name my TOP THREE BOOKS OF 2021!
Before we get to that though…
I thought I’d share one last Amazon Lately just in case you need a random thing or two 🙂 .
Let’s start with…
…light up antlers and necklaces brought to our house curtesy of Amazon 🙂 !
I’m a huge fan of this cozy fleece! It comes in other colors, but the Buffalo plaid speaks to my heart.
Speaking of cozy…
…this cozy pullover kept me warm while I cheered on the Cowboys on Sunday afternoon! I love it!
Okay, see Ashby’s “diamond” studs? My girls and I LOVE these earrings from Amazon! All three of my girls wear them and then I wear them in my “extra” holes. I love this set so much that I’ve now purchased it twice just to have extra pairs of studs in a variety of sizes.
Extra studs for extra ear piercings 🙂 . Side note, my onesie is also an Amazon find!
We purchased more large Christmas tree bags for our trees and garland this year. You guys, these are GAME CHANGERS when it comes to putting away your decorations after Christmas! They make things so much easier to carry, store and keep protected.
Anyone else prepping for the “New Year purge”? I have shared these bins before, but I just recently bought some more. I am ready to organize and store after the holiday season!
Friends, that’s it for today! If you’re looking for something yummy to eat…
…I’m sharing my annual Christmas Morning Menu today too!
I’m off now to enjoy the first grade performance AND to finish up my big book review for tomorrow! I literally cannot wait to see you then! Have the best day!! xx
Lauren says
Ohh I needed a new fleece! That pink one looks perfect. What size did you get?
Mix and Match Mama says
Small!
Erika Slaughter says
This was an extra festive Amazon Lately! Those light up Christmas light up necklaces just make everything more fun.
Elspeth says

Nicole says
Great finds!! I’m wondering what your work out looks like today after a later night out last night? You balance things well!! Merry Wednesday!!!
Mix and Match Mama says
I skipped 🙂 . We got home so late and didn’t go to bed until midnight, so I slept in this morning.
Jennifer says
I miss the old blog style. I used to feel so inspired reading. Now I feel like every single day is an ad. ?
Mix and Match Mama says
Awww! Well, I’m sorry about that! This post isn’t sponsored content and not an ad, but I totally appreciate your feedback. I try to incorporate as much family as I can (like yesterday’s post and then, I have another one later this week too!). Now that my kids are at school all day, the content is just growing and maturing a bit in other areas (since they’re not at home all day with me doing ‘family’ things). I appreciate your comment though!
Jennifer says
Your kind response reminds me why I’ve been here all these years! You are right… life changes. I will stick and around and just count on me to be super happy when we do get mom-life snippets. ☺️
Mix and Match Mama says
Awwwww! Thank YOU!!!!! I try to nail down those kids as often as possible for pics to share, but they’re always on the move with fewer time to spend with mom. Those are my favorite posts too. Without a doubt. xx
Sheaffer says
I seriously wouldn’t even be a bit surprised by a llama.
Dana P says
So random, but one of my favorite things to do is go to the library and pull up your old book lists. It’s like winning the lottery when I actually find one! I know I could just request them ahead of time, but it just adds to the excitement to wonder what I’m going to actually locate! ?
Also, those earrings are amazing! My daughter’s ears are so sensitive but those give her no trouble at all. Thanks for suggesting them!
Mix and Match Mama says
Dana, this makes me so happy!! I hope you love this year’s Top Three too!!
MelanieL says
Dana, I do that at the library too! Haha! 🙂
Joanne says
I have those cloth bins with the rope handles in m pantry and I love them!
Chrissy says
Christmas tree bags! Why have I not thought of that? Thanks, ordered! I’m thinking not only garland, but all my wrapping stuff so it’s easy to tote to the kitchen island.
Susy says
What Bible study do you have lined up for post-Advent? Just about to finish Our Hope Has Come and would love to order another filled with hope.
So many friends dealing with cancer and family with health issues. Thank you.
Mix and Match Mama says
You know, I’m still contemplating this! I might end up reading through the Bible again. I’ll let you know!
Amie says
I have been using your Sausage and Cornbread Casserole for Christmas morning the last several years so now it’s a tradition!!
Jill says
Hey Shay! Will your podcast return next week? ?
Mix and Match Mama says
Our podcast returns on January 18th!!
Jenny N says
I stick to stud earrings and am always looking for something new. I’m going to order these and bonus the small ones will probably look good in my second holes. Thank you!
