I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!
It’s the last day before SPRING BREAK!
At 3:00 PM today, our Spring Break begins and you better believe, WE.ARE.READY.
I say this every year (and you know it’s true), Spring Break ruins me.
After Spring Break, I’m ready for summer. I want to be outside. I want to stop making school lunches. I want to swim. I want to wear shorts. It’s funny how quickly I go from July to October (really, my brain is all about the pumpkins pretty much by July 31st) and then I jump straight from Spring Break to SUMMERTIME. Ha! We all know I’m never going to change in this department, so we might as well embrace it.
I’m ready for warm weather and sunny skies 🙂 .
Today, I’ve rounded up my Faves for the week and, as always, I’m linking up with my friends Andrea and Erika .
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and next week! I won’t be back here again until Monday, March 14th!! If you’re wanting to see what we’re up to, head to Instagram to catch us there while we’re away!
I have a few new (to me!) finds from Trader Joe’s! They’ve been making my days extra delicious…
I really like all of Trader Joe’s creamers, but this one here is officially my new favorite!
Why have I never purchased these before?! Are they new? Have I just been missing them? They’re delicious!! I’ve been using them as “croutons” on top of my salads. Love them!
Now, I do think I’ve shared this wrap with you before…but I had completely forgotten about it (it’s seasonal) until I saw it the other day. I wish they carried it year around because I LOVE IT!! It’s by far their best wrap!!
And a little happiness…
…I moved him out to my patio table. He smells nice and is beautiful to see while I’m working at my desk. Who knew I needed a lemon cypress? Trader Joe knew 🙂 .
You guys, thank you SO MUCH for the questions and feedback from Wednesday’s “My Workouts in a Week” post! I’m so happy that so many of you found new Peloton classes and instructors you now love too. I was going to workout yesterday morning and…
…realized I was fully committed to that whole monochromatic trend. Do we love this trend or not? I’ll tell you what I love…
…Vuiori 🙂 . I’m sitting here right now wearing this very thing: SPORTS BRA//CROP TANK//SWEATSHIRT//LEGGINGS. I’ve told you for years how AMAZING Vuori is. I always order everything TTS (xs) for me and they wash, dry and wear beautifully! I think this new color scheme just screams “hello, spring!”.
Speaking of my workout on this day, it was a strength day, so Andrew created a 45 minute workout for Erika and me (we did it together once this week and then I did it once by myself). After Wednesday’s post, so many of you asked me to share more of Andrew’s workouts. I don’t know if I’ll share them all, but I will share this week’s…
…so, he just made a note and shared it with us. For each of these exercises (other than the planks and ab curls), we used dumbbells or the barbell. This was a really simple workout that really hit all of the muscle groups. I would say that most of his look more like this…
…but this one was really affective!
Now, if the weather isn’t warm where you are, no worries! I wore these two tops this week too…and both are great for cooler/transitional weather…
…this cute sweater comes in multiple colors! And then…
…this sweatshirt was so comfy that I wore it TWICE in one week! I bought both in xs.
Yesterday, Andrew broke down all of his vacation packing tips, tricks and “must haves”. If you missed that post, read it HERE.

I just saw you yesterday evening at Aulani! I saw you taking a picture with your hubs on the beach and thought what an amazing looking couple and then all of your kiddos came running up! I thought . “Wait! I know her! I follow her blog and make a ton of her food!” I hope you are having a fabulous time! We caught the red eye back to California. I would have said hi, but didn’t want to disturb your family time. ?
Mix and Match Mama says
Awwwwww! I wish you would have said hi!!! I would have loved to have met you!
grace says
Safe travels to you and your family Shay! Wishing you the best spring break ever!
Mindy Tierney says
We don’t get spring break until Easter in April. Sadly, next years school schedule only has Wednesday-Friday of Easter weekend for spring break due to a few oddball days off. I think most of the Northeastern part of the country is that way? March is a long school month!! We still are super cold here with winter coats. So wish we could get away ASAP! Have fun for us.
Stacy says
Yes, the northeast doesn’t have spring break until Easter. We don’t get out of school until the end of June and go back after Labor Day. Very different schedule than down south.
Joanne says
Enjoy your spring break!!
Talia says
Thank you for introducing me to Vuori – LOVE their clothes! Enjoy your break and soak up some sun and warmth for those of us up north!
Rene' Pingel says
You really should try the Splash Swim Goggles http://www.splashswimgoggles.com for your whole family. They are wonderful! Have a wonderful spring break vacay!
Debbie K. says
Have a great vacation! My spring break is in two weeks. This teacher is ready for warm weather and sunny days. Indiana is still cold….and crazy…40 today, 70 on Saturday, snow on Monday. Oh Boy!
jennibell says
Have a great vacation!!!
More “Andrew” workouts please ;). Love how he named that one.
Shannon in PA says
Hey, Shay! When you wash your workout clothes, do you put them in the dryer? If so, what temperature? I know you said the ones you’re wearing in this post always wash well, so I’m just wondering how you launder them. Thanks! Enjoy spring break!! 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
Every time! I dry everything on medium heat and always dry my workout wear!
Jess says
Enjoy your spring break! I am def ready for a spring break, except that I’m not in school anymore annnd don’t have kids, haha! I feel like I’m the same way with seasons–it was a struggle to wait till Labor Day weekend to put up my fall decorations (and I really love spring and summer!)!
Alli Mallee says
Speaking of spring break, just came home from Bal Harbour and stayed at the Ritz. Holy wind! We realized if you sit in the last row of chairs the wind is way way less, but it’s wild… must be bc it’s surrounded by water.
Mix and Match Mama says
It was so windy for us last year too!!!
