Happy Friday friends from Nantucket!
You guys, we have a big day ahead of us emptying that U-Haul, but we’re all so excited! I’m sure I’ll be sharing things on IG this weekend, so if you want to keep up with us, take a look. In the meantime, as always, I’m linking up with my friends Andrea and Erika and sharing this week’s FAVORITE THINGS!
Speaking of which…
…after today, we only have 9 MORE DAYS OF SCHOOL!!!! We are so pumped! I cannot believe that next year, I will have a high schooler, Smith will be in 8th grade, Ashby will be in 5th grade and Mades in 3rd. How did that happen?! Listen, I have no idea how it will work having a bonus place on Nantucket at this stage in our life, but considering how big these kids are getting and how soon they will all fly the nest, I want to snag any extra time/soak in all the bonus minutes I can. This is all going by too fast. I want to make the most of every second before it’s gone.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!! Sending you so much love! xx
Big, big, big favorite right here…
…woohoo!!!! Let me first remind you that Colleen Rothschild is the favorite skincare of both my mom and myself. In fact, it was my mom who really encouraged me to give it a try several years ago, and I haven’t looked back. Right now, everything is 25% off site wide with code FAMILY!
I’ve loved everything I’ve purchased over the years, but these items here are my tried and true faves…
These are the products that I use every day:
I don’t know about you, but give me all the products with retinol. Their eye serum is highly effective without drying out the thin and sensitive skin under my eyes.
This is a rock star right here! This serum works overtime to correct, resurface, smooth and hydrate my skin.
My daily moisturizer! This is my go-to every morning either alone or under my makeup.
I hate to play favorites, but this balm is without a doubt, my #1 pick and what I tried first when purchasing from Colleen Rothschild. This doesn’t just clean my skin and remove all of my makeup (easily!), but it’s so hydrating too! Now that I’ve used this for years, I cannot imagine using anything else on my skin.
My daily AM eye cream! It’s hydrating and firming while also easy to layer under my concealer.
And finally, my PM moisturizer! This keeps my skin hydrated and works overtime at night while I sleep.
If you’re traveling soon or want to try their products but in smaller sizes, make sure you check out…
…it’s the Discovery Collection! This bag includes an assortment of all of Colleen Rothschild’s most popular products in smaller, travel-sized bottles PERFECT for traveling or for trying her line for the first time! I take this with me on every trip because it’s all I need for great skincare but in smaller bottles. If you’ve been hesitant to purchase any full-size bottles, this is the kit for you! Right now, site wide, everything is 25% off with code FAMILY!
A TEE with SHORTS and SANDALS (now 30% off!) on repeat over here! It’s my every day in May #ootd.
You guys, I am SWOONING over this super soft ROMPER! It’s so soft, so easy to throw on, and I love it! It runs TTS too.
Sooooo many questions about my outfit on Monday. THESE SHORTS are from last year, and I love them still so much! They come in two other colors right now. I love MY TANK so much that I’m pretty sure I have it in every single color. Both run TTS.
Plus, I have a few bonus things for your Friday too…
Loving this whole outfit! Find it HERE.
I’m also having a moment with Target right now! You can see this whole outfit HERE. Annnnd…
…staple summer dresses I love are HERE!
Over the weekend, we all loaded up…
…and headed to OKC to watch Smith row!
We had so much fun outside watching the regatta. I got pics of everyone…
…but only videos of the actual rower. #sigh We had a great weekend! OKC, you’re pretty special!
If you missed my MORNING IN THE LIFE this week, it was another Fave! You can catch that HERE.
This week, I also shared A TOUR OF OUR HOME GYM! If you missed that post, you can catch it HERE!
That wraps up this week! It has been a FULL and FUN week over here! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I will see you back here on Monday! xx

Have fun! It’s so exciting moving in. When we purchased our vacation home all our new neighbors ran out to our driveway to lend a hand and say hello. We’ve made lifelong friends as well as our children. Enjoy it.
Mix and Match Mama says

Happy Friday!! Can’t wait to hear how the unpacking goes! SO EXCITING!!!
Beth Knecht says
Yes, those Target sandals are so comfy!! Have so much fun unpacking and a great Mother’s Day!
Molly says
Just FYI your blog seems to be posting later these days (at 5:30 am EST it wasn’t up.) Just wanted to let you know!
Mix and Match Mama says
Thank you, Molly! My amazing IT friend thinks he has it corrected, but please let me know if it’s still an issue on Monday!
Dana P says
So exciting!! It just occurred to me-do you and your mom still use tretinoin? I feel like it’s a best-kept secret for skincare, but does CR do the same thing?
Mix and Match Mama says
Retinol? Yes! We both use it every night in addition to the CR products. It’s amazing!
Paula McKaughan says
Just ordered the Discovery Collection as a Mother’s Day gift to ME!! 🙂 I’m so excited for you and your family, Shay!! I cannot wait to see you guys make memories in Nantucket. Happy Mother’s Day to you and all of the other Mama’s out there!!
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s the best value! You will immediately fall in love with all of the products!
Mary Brown says
Did you have to buy an extra vehicle with leaving one in Nantucket?
Mix and Match Mama says
No, we had an extra vehicle here in Texas and took that one to the island.
Beth Valenta says
So exciting! I wish you the best on your move. Can you tell me where you got your Texas ballcap?
Have a super day!
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s actually the logo for smith’s rowing club!
Jan says
Can you or your mom share her daily CR products? I’m sure Cleansing Balm is one. Are the others the exact same ones you use or does she use different products? Thanks.
Mix and Match Mama says
Well dang, I should have asked her this weekend, but I wasn’t checking blog comments. Let me find out!
Joanne says
Good luck! That is a giant U-Haul.
Marla says
Shay, as a travel agent you may know this but a bit of trivia for you in case you don’t. My mom was from Newfoundland so growing up we spent some summers there and we always went to the St. Johns Regatta. It is a huge event thats always scheduled for a day the first week in August. The Royal St Johns Regatta is North America’s oldest annual sporting event with proof of boat races dating back to 1816. If you have never been to Newfoundland I highly recommend it . The weather is fickle but it has loads of history, is gorgeous and Newf’s are the nicest people you will ever meet (at least in my opinion) . Now with Smith’s interest in rowing it might really hold some extra appeal.
Good luck in Nantucket this weekend !
Mix and Match Mama says
I love this, Marla!! Smith would probably really love this!
