Happy Friday, friends!
It’s the first Friday Favorites of 2022 for me!!!
How’s it going in your world getting back into the swing of things? Considering I thought yesterday was Wednesday until someone told me it wasn’t, I’m having a rough time coming off the holiday high and getting back into my normal. Also, full confession, for the first time EVER in my adult life, all of my suitcases are not unpacked and put away yet. I am super particular about this and basically can’t sleep until it’s all put away…but apparently 2022 Shay doesn’t care. I have one suitcase left in the garage, and it might just sit there until my next ski vacation. Anyone else thinking about the episode of Everybody Loves Raymond?! Ha! Needless to say, I’m thankful that it’s Friday and even more thankful you’re back here with me!
Cheers to a cozy weekend, friends! As always, I’m linking up with my friends Andrea and Erika . I hope you all have a great Friday! xx
My first Fave of the week? It’s a new year of Let’s Look!
Erika and I are excited about the 2022 version where every prompt was suggested by one of YOU!
The fun starts on Wednesday with our first prompt of Let’s Look at HOW YOU ORGANIZE FOR THE NEW YEAR!
Here is the list of prompts for the entire year…
So, if you blog and want to link up with us after blogging the prompt for the day, we would LOVE IT! These posts are always the second Wednesday of every month!
Over Christmas break, I was super productive and watched the entire second season of…
…Emily in Paris 🙂 .
This show is TOTALLY one of my Faves this week!!! Me oh my Alfie. That’s all I’m going to say about that.
If you’re looking for something super cute, light, sweet and happy to watch right now, it’s streaming on Netflix. Make sure you watch Season One first though!
This sweatshirt was the most “on repeat” thing in my closet over Christmas break! In fact, I loved it so much that I wore it on the plane to Utah too! It comes in several different colors and fits TTS.
It goes great with…
…some of my favorite winter things like my jeans, my Sorel booties (on major sale and in so many other colors!) and my jacket (also on sale!).
Speaking of sales…
…is on sale today too! I love this one so much that…
…I bought it in a second color! These also run TTS. I’m wearing xs.
You guys, I LOVE this next Fave…
…I started The Bible Recap this year, and it’s so wonderful! I could probably do an entire post on it, but I’ll try and hit the high notes here. I have read through the Bible two other years but in a different way (I did is using THIS), but this recap has many more layers. You read the daily scripture in your own Bible (it tells you each day what to read) and then you read her recap out of the recap book and/or listen to the podcast, plus you can journal or join groups too. On her site, she explains all of the steps very clearly HERE.
It’s only been a week, but here is what I’ve been doing: reading the daily scripture out of my Bible, reading the corresponding recap out of the recap book, using my journal to jot down things I’m learning/discovering and praying over and then, even though it’s a little repetitive, I’m listening to the corresponding daily podcast episode while I get ready to workout in the morning (right after my Bible study time). The episodes are only about 7 minutes and expand on/reiterate what I just read/studied.
This read through the Bible plan is also different from the other one I did because it’s in chronological order (where as the other plan gives you a little Old, a little New Testament, a Psalm and Proverb each day). Again, you should totally check out the main site HERE for all the details, but one week in, and I’m so happy!
This is random, but I brought two pairs of workout leggings to Park City and loved this pair so much…
…that I washed and wore them every single day. They’re lightly lined in fleece on the inside and were perfect for all day wear in Utah. I had purchased them right before we left and didn’t realize how much I would LOVE them until I actually used them for a workout. I had been afraid that they would get too hot, but they didn’t. They somehow kept me warm and yet didn’t make me hot. I loved them so much that I kept them on during the day and even wore them under my ski pants as a base layer! They come in lots of other colors too!
I also wore this jacket here every day too! It’s light, it’s warm, it has great pockets, it’s easy to pack…loved it! This is a terrible pic, but the perfect jacket for those of you who want to be active all winter long!
I’m ending my Friday with my annual Cozy Winter Soups post! I have 34 delicious (and easy!) winter soup recipes for you HERE!
That wraps up the first Faves of 2022! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!! xx

After seeing you post about the bible recap last month I ordered it, after only a week I’m in love! Thank you!
Laci Uhrbom says
Where is your phone case from?!
Mix and Match Mama says
It was a gift from my friend Jeni!
Maria says
I’ve been eyeing that phone case that Jeni recommended. What letter color/case # combo did you go with? It’s so hard to choose! Love yours!
Mix and Match Mama says
She gifted them to us and selected our colors! I haven’t looked them up online, but mine is very neutral and I love it!
Maria says
Jeni linked the phone case. It’s from Etsy “NewJoyStudio”. There’s a photo by Jeni showing her case and yours in the reviews section. Yours is Background C, color 13. Jeni’s is color 9. I’ve been stuck on a color combo since Jeni posted about it before Christmas. But I love that yours is neutral – just ordered it! Here’s the link if anyone is interested:

You can follow along with the Bible Recap daily scripture readings on YouVersion as well. I am really enjoying this and look forward to starting my day with it every morning.
Meghan says
I started The Bible Recap thanks to you sharing it. Loving it so far also! Didn’t know about the podcast so going to subscribe now 🙂
Kayla B. says
Our church is doing the Bible recap together this year, and I listen to the readings on the youversion app and then listen to the podcast!
Danna F says
Happy first friday of 2022! I too am slow about returning to a schedule. The holidays wore me OUT!
I was so excited to read that you are reading the Bible Recap! Mine should arrive early next week (i paid the extra $20 to get it here quick which normally i would not). You have made me even more excited about reading it. Thanks for all the tips. Did not know there was a podcast…yippee!
Have a warm cozy weekend!
Cheryl says
Those leggings are so cute! Do you mind sharing if you ordered a petite or regular length, just curious on the length for my height!
Mix and Match Mama says
Oh! I’m so glad you ordered it too!!
Kandi Barber says
I ordered the same bible study, can’t wait for it to arrive!
Bethany says
Love The Bible Recap! I’m on the second year! I bought the book but don’t use it. I just listen to the podcast after my reading and “God Shot.” Tara Leigh Cobble has been a big blessing to my Bible reading! I hope you have a great year reading!?
DANIELLE K RIGG says
I need a new ski jacket. Any recommendations?
Thanks
DANIELLE K RIGG says
I keep searching for the perfect ski jacket. Any recommendations?
Thanks
Paula says
I have 4 of those cozy pullovers because of you. I absolutely love them.
Bible Recap was LIFE-CHANGING for me. Last year was my first time reading the whole Bible. And by doing it in chronological order just put all the pieces of the puzzle together for me. It allowed me to see Him more clearly and fully for just how wonderful our Father truly is.
I am going through a second time & digging deeper with the questions & journal! It’s so amazing how God will use your simple sharing to share Him! So God!
Randi J Rooks says
Happy 2022 !!! I dreamed about you last night so knew I had to come on and catch up ?. So glad y’all had a great tech free Christmas break and a wonderful trip!

Julie Jones says
2022 Shay doesn’t care ? too funny!
Kristy Moore says
I LOVE, LOVE the Bible Recap as well. Did it for the first time last year. I suggest also following the Bible Recap on Instagram if you’re not already. A nice little reminder throughout the day of key verses, etc.
Happy New Year to you and your family! I hope 2022 is filled with health, peace and joy!
Debbie Lang says
Hi Shay – do you happen to know the LV style for the bag you have on that’s a cross body/messenger style?
Mix and Match Mama says
That one is an oldie but goodie! I do not remember the name. I think I’ve had it about 10 years now!
