Hey, hey Friday!
You guys, it’s going to be a quiet and cozy weekend at my house. The boys are snowboarding and Kensington has a cheer thing, so it’s just the littles and me. They’ve made a big long list of things we’re going to do, and I’m excited just to spend some extra time with those two. I’ll miss half my peeps, but I know I’ll enjoy this time too.
Okay, as always, I’m linking up with my friends Andrea and Erika and sharing my weekly faves.
I hope you had a wonderful week! Wishing you a warm and cozy weekend! xx
I shared this with you in August…
…but we received and LOVE this blanket from Cozy Carmel 🙂 . She’s a teacher and mom and I have just really fallen in love with her small business.
We keep our blanket on Nantucket which…
…my dad fell in love with while we were at Stroll. He loved it so much that I ended up buying him and my grandfather each one for Christmas. He texted me just this week…
…and it reminded me to share Cozy Carmel again. If you need a great gift or just want something cozy at your own house or if you just want to support a small business, we are clearly huge, huge fans!
Family time looks a little different lately…
…my view is from the backseat when we are all in the car together as Miss Kensington is driving us around. I mean, what in the world?! It’s crazy that we’re already in this chapter. On this particular night we were heading to the square for dinner, and we ran into one of our favorite four legged friends…
…you guys, this is Louie, and he legit sits like that on his own. He just sits there. Just like that. He’s less than two years old, and we see him around town enough that we’ve become friendly with him and his owners…
…and I just had to share because truly this sitting thing cracks me up. He’s PRECIOUS!
Family dinners on our town square are ALWAYS a favorite of mine!
So many of you have asked about my CROSS NECKLACE. I love that it slides, so you can adjust the length to whatever you want it to be. It layers really easily too!
We’ve celebrated Smith all week! On Monday night, my parents came over for dinner in his honor and then on Wednesday night, we were supposed to go to church, but then some people were doing a little bit of work inside the house and that ran late, so when they left, we decided to just go out and celebrate Smith again…AND I AM SO HAPPY WE DID!!
We are not spontaneous peeps, but I always love how when we don’t do “what’s on the schedule”, it often turns out even more fun than the schedule ever would have allowed. It was a random cold Wednesday night in McKinney, but we got in the car and headed back to the square for pizza.
I can’t believe this boy is FOURTEEN now!!
That little leg just melts my heart. She sure loves her daddy (and he loves her!).
I took this pic as we were walking to dinner. Those two are always chatting, always together, they truly are the best of friends which makes my mama heart so very happy!
Babies don’t keep, y’all.
Just a few #ootd for you this week…
I was super drawn to THIS NEON CORAL PAIR OF LEGGINGS, and let me assure you, they are buttery soft and divine. They come in so many other fun colors too and really jazz up a weekday! I paired them with my TUGGA JACKET and was set for yoga and morning work time.
If you’re looking for a great sale this week…
…MY SWEATER IS 50% OFF! I bought mine TTS (xs), and it comes in many other colors too!
MYTWO PIECE TRACK set is soooo cozy and perfect for working from home or running errands. I bought mine in “coffee”, but it comes in so many other colors and is on sale right now too!
If you’re looking for a little red for your winter and upcoming February…
…this RED SWEATSHIRT is so soft and absolutely SO CUTE!!! It’s just super, super adorable!
THIS COZY FLEECE BELOW I loved so much that I wore it twice…
…I wore it once this week with my leggings and FAUX UGGS and then once with shorts. You guys, THIS FLEECE is super, super soft! I have never bought “faux” Uggs before, but I got super curious and bought this pair. I don’t own the “real” ones, so I can’t compare, but I have been super, super impressed with the dupes.
My COZY SHERPA was $120 and now, it’s reduced by more than HALF THE PRICE! I bought mine in xs.
And one last cozy #OOTD on sale! My HALF ZIP is also at a great price!
We wrap up SOUP WEEK this week with not only our fifth and final soup but with 37 OTHER COZY WINTER SOUPS!
Make sure you check out my SLOW COOKER CHICKEN & RICE SOUP along with the other 36 easy and delicious recipes HERE!
Now don’t forget, on Monday, we will have a BONUS BLOG POST because it’s our first…
…BOOK CLUB! I will have Meal Planning Monday and a “normal” post, but I will also have our JANUARY BOOK CLUB post as well, so if you read the book, we will discuss! This will always be on the 22nd of each month. On that post, I will share our FEBRUARY book as well (and then the full JANUARY BOOK REVIEW will be later on this month). Speaking of book clubs, this is one of my favorite movies…
…so if you need a cute, light and adorable movie this weekend, I highly recommend it (plus the sequel too!).
Happy Friday, friends! I’ll see you on Monday! Have the BEST WEEKEND!!! xx

Happy Friday! Can you share what lipstick you are wearing in the picture with the pink beanie? Thank you 😊
Mix and Match Mama says
Yes! It’s Mary Kay’s Love Me Pink with MAC Oyster Girl gloss on top 🙂 .
Sheaffer says
The throwback pic of Smith and Kensington. I think I’m going to have to take to the bed the rest of the day. THAT WAS YESTERDAY.
Mix and Match Mama says
I know!!!!!!!!
Erika Slaughter says
Girl! You need to order blanket #2 for McKinney STAT!
SS says
Shay,
Your view from tht backseat .. made me think of my two yrs spent back there. Although, sometimes the back was better than next to (eek, I think there may be a hole in our floor boards and we still have one more). Lol.
How cute is that dog? Our dog will do that too if there is a treat involved. Lol.
Have a fun weekend!!!
Kay says
I can’t wait for book club! I just finished the novel-yay! Really looking forward to it.
And good luck with the driving lessons! We’re in th same boat here, only in slippery, icy New England gulp. All I could think of when I saw you in the backseat was, “I hope she doesn’t get car sick!” (I know that happens to you and it happens to me allll the time too.)
Happy weekend!
Mix and Match Mama says
Me too! I always think “how long can I do this and feel well”.
Alison says
I just love that photo of Smith and Kensington walking and talking. Having each other always in their corner will be invaluable as they continue to get older. ❤️
MelanieL says
So many fun things in this post, the throwback of K&S is too cute! The winery in the background of the recent picture of K&S caught my eye because that’s my son’s name!! Have a fun weekend with the littles. 🙂
Patty says
I really like that you are posting links to small businesses and not just Amazon links.
Happy weekend,

What size blanket did you get?
Mix and Match Mama says
XL!
Maureen Reynolds says
I love your cozy blanket!! I am just wondering what size you ordered and the name of the grey color? Many thanks for the recommendation.
Mix and Match Mama says
Mine is XL (and that’s the size I ordered as gifts). I just looked and I don’t see my exact color on her site right now. You might be able to message her and ask? I bet she could look up my order/tell from the photo!
Maureen Reynolds says
Thank you, I just did that!! Have a fabulous weekend.
Liz says
Hi! What size did your order on the cute Amazon track suit? THANKS!
Mix and Match Mama says
Small! I love it so much that I think I might buy it in a second color!
Donna Mason says
Hi Shay:
Have a great weekend. What size are you wearing in the tugga jacket and the amazon 2 piece set please?
Mix and Match Mama says
My Tugga is an xs and the Amazon set is a small. Happy Friday!
Sara Nowell says
What lipstick do you wear?!
Mix and Match Mama says
Right now either MAC Saint Germaine or Mary Kay Love Me Pink both with MAC Oyster Girl gloss on top.
Alison says
I am wearing that exact Amazon set in coffee as I type this! It’s so good!! Could you link to the tennis shoes you’re wearing with the red sweatshirt? Thanks!
Mix and Match Mama says
Those are Golden Goose and I love them! They’re so comfy! https://shopstyle.it/l/b7bss
K.K. says
I’m late to the blog today, but I have three things to say!
1. It’s so awesome that Smith and Kensington are close. And glad you got to be spontaneous. That’s a great week!
2. I really like that movie too! (I liked the Book Club 2 movie a bit less, but the first one is so good!)
3. I LOVE LOUIE!!! 🙂
Have a great cozy weekend, Shay!!
Joanne says
A great round up of favorites! I have sat in the passenger seat a few times… but never the back seat (mostly because our teen drivers really only drive with one of us in the car).
Sarah Shaneyfelt says
I am also LOVING your sunglasses in #3! I always think aviator shape looks terrible on me but you have me wanting to give them a shot!

Cori says
Maybe you’ve mentioned it before, but where did Andrew get those gray jeans (under #4 this week)? My husband is also tall and it’s hard to find him jeans that fit and look good. ;0)
Mix and Match Mama says
Those are from 7 For All Mankind 🙂
Natalie says
Shay you always look great but you are glowing in this post. Your skin! I need to start and be consistent on a skin care routine. I’m not the best at that bc I’m just too tired at night to do all that facial stuff. It’s probably not as overwhelming as it seems lol. The dog cracks me up so much in this photo too cute. Love the track suit. About to order yay! Y’all have a wonderful weekend.
Dina says
Hi! I love the basket that you store your cozy blanket! Could you share the link?
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s from Pottery Barn!
Kelly says
A little something cheer?! It’s NCA weekend!!! Best of luck to their team! So much fun at the arena. Your littles would love it & you are lucky it is so close to you!
Mix and Match Mama says
Awwww! Well since K is only a freshman, it doesn’t feel as big as it will when she’s older, but she had so much fun! It was certainly super, super convenient and her team did FABULOUS!!
Linda says
It is indeed a bit scary having your child learn to drive! When our daughter drove our family for the first time her 2 younger brothers got in with their bike helmets on to tease her! Thankfully kids seem to learn to drive pretty quick!
