Hey, hey, Friday!
After today, I have my kiddos home with me for a full week which makes this mama HAPPY! We have so many fun things planned around town but just knowing we don’t have to wake up early, go to bed early, do homework, make lunches…you know “the norm” makes me giddy.
Today, I have a fun batch of FAVORITE THINGS for the week!
As always, I’m linking up with my friends Andrea and Erika and wishing you a wonderful weekend! I will be back here TOMORROW with a bonus post as well 🙂 .
Happy Friday, friends! xx
Yesterday…
…this guy turned 40!
We celebrated with our parents and better halves at an adult only dinner on Wednesday night which was so special. Apparently, if we don’t have the seven children running around looking adorable, we don’t pull out our phones and take pics. It was such a delicious and FUN dinner with five of my very, very, very favorite people celebrating Sean turning 4-0!
On the flight home from Prague, I watched this movie on the plane, and it was SO CUTE!! You guys, everyone is adorable in this romcom, but Emma Thompson is just extra, extra adorable. I love her so much, and she really is oh so cute in this movie. If your Thanksgiving week needs a feel good romantic comedy, here you go.
A few #OOTD from this week for you…
…a day of working from home and errands called for this very cozy sweatshirt. I like it so much that I want it in a second color (it comes in many!).
I bought this cozy waffle knit sweater in an XXS just to keep it a little more fitted, but you could certainly wear it TTS for a bit more over-sized look. Zero itch, all cozy. This sweater comes in 9 different colors.
And I received so many compliments when wearing…
...this super warm mini puffer on our square last Saturday night. So warm, so cute, it has a removable hood and it comes in five different colors (I bought it in cream). Really, really cute!
On Wednesday night, I jazzed up my FAVORITE BLACK JEANS with this cuuuuute VELVET JACKET in…
…the perfect holiday green 🙂 . It comes in other colors as well, but you guys know that green is my favorite of all the colors. I bought it in a size small.
You guys, I updated my CHRISTMAS PLAYLIST, and it’s really, really fun if I do say so myself!
I have very few skills and talents in this world…but I’m really good at curating a Christmas playlist 😉 .
On Sunday, we volunteered at our church and packed over 200,000 meals to be shipped to Kenya. This is always one of my family’s very favorite days at church. Miss Mades, per usual, went for the laugh 😉 .
Later that night…
…we had Friendsgiving at church and loved that too. The Cowboys on the big screen, lots of delicious food and friends? Yes, please!
And finally…
…it’s a BONUS extra recipe post today because not only do you get the recipe for our yummy (and oh so easy!) CHRISTMAS COCONUT MACAROONS, but you get to see…
….my gorgeous new bar cart. Why did it take me so long to buy a bar cart?! I’m telling you, the ideas are endless for me to style this for each season. Check out all the details HERE.
That wraps up this Friday!
Have a wonderful day, friends! I’ll see you back here TOMORROW! xx

I LOVE your festive bar cart! It looks adorable and makes you want to mix a drink and sit by the fire. (Also, side note, your mom is my idol. She thought to move back the chair when measuring to make sure you could still pull out a seat comfortably if the bar cart was there. My realtor self LOVES that. Excellent work!). Happy weekend to you!
Mix and Match Mama says
She cannot help but wear her interior designer hat. This though is why I am not handy (and neither is my dad). We never had to be handy…mom was handy. Mom was the one we all asked to do “all the things”. I moved out of her home into Andrew Shull’s home who is equally as handy. Basically, if I’m ever left alone, nothing will get put together, hung or measured properly. Ever.
K.K. says
Yay! We are making our way to my FAVORITE month. Thanks for all the holiday spirit. 🙂 Have a great week with your family, Shay.
Mix and Match Mama says
WE ARE!!!!!
Cami says
What’s your pick if you’re buying just one – Abercrombie puffer or Vuori puffer?
Mix and Match Mama says
Vuori! I wouldn’t wash and dry an Abercrombie puffer, but I would (and do!) wash my Vuori ones.
Laura says
I love your Christmas Playlist! It will be on repeat at my house. Thanks 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
Thank you so much!!! I love it too!
Joanne says
Thanks for the movie suggestion; I’m going to watch that right now.
Sarah Shaneyfelt says

Mix and Match Mama says
Thank you, thank you!
Deborah says
Does the Velvet blazer have any stretch to it? I looks great !
Mix and Match Mama says
I wouldn’t say stretch but it is roomy enough and allowed for a lot of movement. I wore it in the car and was quite comfortable (sometimes, I’ll take my jackets off in the car because the jacket + the seatbelt makes me feel claustrophobic). This wasn’t the case!
