Heyyyyy there, Friday!
You guys, it’s our last Friday of the summer. I’m so sad!!!!! I mean, I’m also this…
…but I’m sad too 😉 .
As always, I’m linking up with my friends Andrea and Erika and sharing my favorite things from this week! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!! xx
You guuuuuuys! I could make my entire post out of THESE SANDALS!!!! Really and truly, these sandals are my #1 fave for THE ENTIRE SUMMER!!!
I brought two pairs of Nikes with me to Europe and after the first day, I wore these sandals EVERY SINGLE DAY INCLUDING THE FLIGHT HOME.
I don’t know what magic is happening in that Steve Madden shoe shop, but these sandals were so comfortable and never one time gave me a blister. I could not stop wearing them. Four countries and so many miles later, and they were still my shoe choice up until I arrived back home in McKinney, TX. I just looked and right now, THEY’RE ON SALE!!! Whoop! Whoop! They run TTS and you will love them too 😉 .
I watched this movie right before we left for our trip. I heard about it in a podcast (even though the movie isn’t super recent) and was intrigued, so I watched. You guys, it’s so good! If you’re looking for just a beautifully acted, sweet, easy to watch love story set in a gorgeous Cairo, this is it. I really can’t remember the last time I enjoyed a film this much. Two big thumbs up!
Hip hip hooray, this week we had BOOK DAY!
If you missed my JULY BOOK REVIEW, go back and check it out! I am so thankful for all of the feedback! I felt a little lost regarding one book in particular, so I very much appreciated your opinions and thoughts too. PLUS, thanks to the comment section, I bought two new books for my kindle this week!
I don’t know about you, but I’m barely getting “dressed” every day…and when I do, it feels like a major victory. It’s just too hot for clothes in Texas right now 😉 .
That being said, how cute is THIS TOP with THESE SHORTS?! I love them both for this August to hot-September season! They both run TTS.
Annnnnnd when in doubt, throw A HAT over your chlorine hair while wearing your FAVORITE TEE OF ALL TIME 🙂 . You know how I feel about hats…especially packable ones that go in and out of suitcases without problems! My shirt comes in so many fun colors and many are on sale!
And finally…
…here we go! It’s BACK TO SCHOOL season! Today, I’m sharing my 25 BACK TO SCHOOL BREAKFAST BITES just in time for the new year. Even if you don’t have kiddos heading back to school, you should check out this batch of recipes! I have savory and sweet simple breakfast nibbles you should make!
That wraps up my week!
Friends, once again, thank you so much for helping me celebrate 15 years as a blogger this week! I hope you all have the BEST weekend! xx

Looking forward to more Europe posts!!!!

Those Steve Madden sandals are currently at my local Sam’s for $15! I’m going today to get a pair. Love that cute hat too. I’ve been looking for a new hat. I hope you have a great last weekend of summer with your pre ious family.
Joanne says
That t-shirt is so cute! I too tend to wear sandals or flip flops the whole trip when we travel as long as I have a good comfy pair.
Anne says
Okay, so I’m a weirdo. 🙂 I have the sandals. I LOVE the sandals. But because they have silver, I think I can only wear them with silver. I see you are wearing with gold, so it must be okay. 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
Comfy sandals I will wear with ANYTHING!! 😉
DonnaS says
Congratulations on 15 years! Your blog is my favorite. You always inspire me and entertain me! Thanks for all you do 🙂

It’s not Texas hot, but the humidity here in Virginia is unbearable. I usually walk around in my Hoka’s which don’t always look great with outfits. Those sandals are very cute!
Erika Slaughter says
Happy Friday, Friend! Okay, Texas weather, school is starting which means fall is practically here so please cool down.
Darcy says
I’m so glad that you started featuring Evereve clothes this year. That store has been one of my favorite discoveries over the last year and seems like such a perfect fit for your style. Happy weekend!
Mix and Match Mama says
I’m loving them too!!! I have been thrilled with all of my purchases!
Becky B says
Love the tee! What breakfast bite is your kids favorite? Would love to make some of these ahead of time for the week like you do.
Mix and Match Mama says
Sausage balls are always their faves! They love the egg cups a lot too!
Becky B says
You are always so sweet to always answer back. Thanks Shay! Good luck with the first week of school! Xo
Brenna says
You sold me! I’ve been thinking about those sandals all summer but finally bought them!
Julie says
Love Friday posts! Book day is my favorite though. I wanted to ask a question. With the increase in food prices I am trying to be more conscious and utilize things I have. I see people doing a food inventory and keeping a log of what they have basically and being creative with meal planning. I also know you use trader Joes, but we don’t have one where I live. We eat healthy with lots of fresh veggies, lean meats, fruits and eggs and everything has just gotten astronomical. We are a family of 6 as well. I know your family may not be feeling the crunch and this may not be something that you do and if so that’s totally fine. I just wanted to ask and see if you had suggestions or advice or if you kept a food inventory and how did it work. How do you keep up with all your recipes? As a working mom of 4, I am just struggling with organization in this area so much. Love you and your blog!!
Mix and Match Mama says
I think that’s a super valid question and I bet several blog readers will chime in here. We try really hard only to buy what we need for the week. I will do my “big” shopping on Monday or Tuesday mornings and at that time, my fridge and pantry are about bare. I used to go to Costco and stock up but realized we weren’t eating all of those bulk items, so now, I go to the store with my specific list and only buy what’s on there. Years and years and years ago, I played The Grocery Game three different times and ended up quitting each time for the same reason…stocking up on items/freezing items when they were on sale/in bulk only made me buy things we really didn’t need/want/eat/use just because of the price. So, what I would say is that we really try just to buy what we know we’re going to eat that week and nothing else.
Kit says
Can’t seem to find the movie Cairo Time. What did you stream it on? Thanks!
Mix and Match Mama says
I rented it on Apple TV!
Amy says
Just bought the shoes! Can’t wait to try them. As a teacher, I am always looking for comfortable and cute shoe suggestions! Thank you, thank you!! 🙂
Sarah Shaneyfelt says
Our kids start back to school on Monday, too! I’m a teacher and we started back this past Wednesday. I’m like you, now that school is starting back, I’m ready to put out all of my fall decor and drink coffee outside on cool mornings….but in Alabama that won’t happen for a long time LOL!

Hi Shay! I am so late but wanted to congratulate you on 15 years blogging! That’s an amazing accomplishment! I’ve been reading since fall of 2014 and you are my first internet stop every morning 🙂 Thank you for your positive spirit, words of wisdom, and sharing your world with us. My favorite posts are your travel recaps, but if you ever want advice on visiting Cairo (after watching Cairo Time!), let me know 🙂 I lived there for a few years and have visited 1-2 times a year my whole life! Have a wonderful weekend and congratulations!!
Mix and Match Mama says
Awwwwwwwwww!! Thank you, Nerine!! How beautiful Cairo must be?! The movie makes me want to go!!
Nerine says
You definitely should! It would be a fascinating adventure ❤️❤️
