Happy happy Friday from Massachusetts! Today’s post is EXTRA FUN as I partner with Nordstrom and share a “short” story with you today along with pics from Musical Bingo, more Charlie, the BEST strength training app, a new dinner recipe and MORE!
It’s a MEGA EDITION to end our month!
As always, I’m linking up with my friends Andrea and Erika and sharing this week’s FAVORITE THINGS!
‘Tis the season for me to live in shorts, so I thought today was the perfect opportunity to share a “short story” with you 🙂 .
Take a look at these for different pairs of denim shorts I found at Nordstrom…
#1: THIS PAIR is a little bit longer, and they’re from Wit & Wisdom which means they’re super comfy (but you should size down one size!).
#2: THIS PAIR is the perfect simple, wear with everything denim pair! No cuffs, no distressing, no raw hem…classic.
#3: THIS PAIR was my absolute fave because the waist was a smidge high, they’re super comfy, the color is great, and I love the hem!
#4: THIS PAIR is a little longer, has a nice frayed hem with a really fresh and summery shade of denim. Love.
I wore all four pairs with THIS SUPER SOFT TANK that also comes in many other colors! Plus, it’s only $25!
I found a bonus pair of shorts for us too…
…so cute, right?! These STRETCH COTTON SHORTS come in eight different colors (including some bright and fun!), but classic white was my personal favorite.
I paired them all with these raffia sandals because…I heart anything raffia 🙂 . THESE SANDALS come in SEVENTEEN different colors!
My perfect combo this time of year is…
TEE + SHORTS + SANDALS + PUPPY
And repeat…
TEE + SHORTS + SANDALS + PUPPY
Our town square has new “Musical Bingo” on Tuesday nights at The Yard, so we decided to check it out this week, and we LOVED it!
The weather was gorgeous, the food was delicious, the music was fun…
…and it was both family-friendly and dog-friendly 🙂 .
We had so much fun and will absolutely be back!
This is what our Bingo “card” looked like for one round. The DJ would play a snippet of a song, and you had to know the song and mark your spot pretty quickly before she moved on. It was fun trying to guess and scramble to locate songs as we listened.
This girl is excited about any pro-dog destination these days 🙂 .
I have a few great Nordstrom finds at GREAT prices for your upcoming M-A-Y and summer…
I absolutely still cannot get over the quality of THIS DRESS based on the price. You guys, it’s only $39!! This one is oh so very cute and comes in not only navy, but white, black, pink…seven other great colors too!
I bought THIS DRESS in black, but it too also comes in a variety of colors. Not only is this dress regularly at a great price (only $69!), right now, several of the colors are marked down even less!
You know how much I love a GAUZY TOP! This one comes in four other colors, but you know me…white called my name 🙂 . My SANDALS are also from Nordstrom.
I cannot even tell you the number of times I’ve worn this JUMPSUIT! I wore it just Monday, but I promise you, that was probably the eighth or ninth time in about a month. These are perhaps my favorite “spring” easy weekday outfits. Top it with a denim jacket for chillier days and out the door I go…and oh so comfy too! I have washed and dried this one after every wear, and it still looks as good as new. It comes in OTHER COLORS too.
My JELLY THONG SANDALS from last season are back in new colors and a fresh new look. These are SO cute!
This was me last year. Aren’t they cute?! I love that you can just hose them off after the beach too. I clearly love those Becca coverups as you can see, I have that style from last year…
…and THIS STYLE from this year.
Thanks to YOU, I have found my absolute favorite strength training app.
I shared my WORKOUTS IN A WEEK and in the comment section, this FITBOD app was mentioned, so I looked it up, tried it out, and fell in love. You personalize this app in such specific and nuanced ways. You pick the time, the type of strength training, your goals, the exact equipment you have access to and each time a customizable workout with videos is waiting for you. Don’t like a workout or don’t have some sort of equipment? No worries, you can swap and change things in an instant. I am OBSESSED!
Here are some screenshots from one of my workouts so you can see:
See how specific it is? If you have questions, drop them in the comment section, but just know, I am loving this app.
Thank you, thank you for the recommendation! This community ROCKS!
‘Tis that time of year to shop for moms and grads!

Yesterday, I shared my TRADER JOE’S APRIL STAPLES, and today, I’m sharing a recipe that you could make with some of those items (or some from your local store too!).
Erika is always talking about her yummy salmon bowls, so we started making them too! Check out our SIMPLE SALMON BOWLS today!
Alrighty, the kids have a three day weekend coming up, so we headed out of Dallas late last night and arrived here in Massachusetts. We are SO excited for our first Daffodil weekend on Nantucket! From what everyone tells us, it’s the “spring-iest” place to be. We’ll be here all weekend, so make sure you check out my IG for the deets.
A huge thank you to Nordstrom today for always being my go-to for everything from clothes, to beauty, shoes, tops, dresses, literally all the things I need as a busy lady! As you know, I always love shopping there because not only do they have everything my family needs, but they have impeccable service, free shipping, free returns, and curbside pick up (all so handy for this girl!). You can catch all of their services (including alterations, gift wrapping, style help and more HERE!).
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
This guy is obviously our favorite Fave of 2024 so far 🙂 .
I will see you back here on Monday! xx
Elspeth says
Have a great weekend on the east coast!

Laura says
So glad you’re enjoying FitBod! I was pretty certain that you’d love it!
I am so happy for Ashby. There’s something about the love between a child and a dog. So happy that she’s at a point where it is safe for her to have her own!
Mix and Match Mama says
I am OBSESSED!!!!
Jess says
Do you have a link to your green jacket you wore to bingo? Looks nice and light weight. Still chilly up here in New England!
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s Vuori! I bought that one back in early fall, so I’m not sure if it’s still online or not. It’s a good length too.
Sara Alexander says
You certainly are dog fans! Have you all had hamsters, rabbits, lizards, etc? It seems like every household has had other smallish pets at some point throughout childhood. My daughter is desperate for a rabbit, but I always think who would take care of it when we are out of town? It’s not the same as taking a dog to a kennel.
Mix and Match Mama says
No, we have only ever had dogs. Growing up, I had a ferret that I loved and cats, but we’ve only been a dog fam.
sandi says
Our youngest daughter has a mini rex bunny. Oreo (he is black and white) has been a part of our family for six years. We RV frequently going out for 5-6 weeks and then coming home for a month and then heading back out. The bunny goes with us. When we head on trips where it does not make sense to take the bunny, we have a wonderful neighbor who watches him in their home. We pay them in Chick-Fil-A gift cards which they love. Some vets will also board bunnies. Just a thought!
Erika Slaughter says
This post reminds me-I need to order some denim shorts! And so glad you guys had salmon bowls! Did your family love them?!
Mix and Match Mama says
Yes!!! We all “mixed and matched them” our own ways!
Kristen says
How do you find someone to watch 4 dogs?! I have a hard time finding sitters for my one every time we travel. Have a great weekend in Nantucket!
Mix and Match Mama says
We have made a few adjustments over the years as we have added more and more dogs to the fam, and right now, we have great people who love them!
Sheaffer says
That $39 dress is jaw droppingly CUTE!!!! Have the best time this weekend!
Faith says
Happy Friday! Enjoy the weekend! Did Charlie get to go to Nantucket? I’m sure it was hard to leave him if not.
Thanks for the denim shorts recs! I need to replace mine!
Mix and Match Mama says
He did!
K.K. says
I love how much Ashby loves her dog. That’s so fun!!! Happy weekend. Can’t wait to see your pictures on IG!
Jill Meyer says
Can you share a link to the coin necklace you are wearing in several of the photos? So cute!
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s from a store on Nantucket called Love Shack. They have an online store as well! The brand is Lola.
Christine says
Good morning, I just joined Fitbod. Chilly this a.m. in eastern MA. Have a wonderful weekend!
Mix and Match Mama says
I hope you love it too!!!
Stacy says
Hi Shay what watches are your girls wearing ?
Mix and Match Mama says
Gizmos! I have a post on them: https://mixandmatchmama.com/2019/04/gizmo-watches/
Barb says
What brand of shorts where the others. You only mention one.
Mix and Match Mama says
Off the top of my head, I don’t know (I think one is Kut from the Kloth). You can learn more by checking each one out or if you don’t like clicking links, you can head to Nordstrom’s website and do a search.
Cathy Carter says
Shay,
Are your tennis shoes the Nike waffle Debut in campfire? Thanks!
Mix and Match Mama says
Yes!
Erin says
Another app similar to this that also is very cool and customizable is Freeletics. I really enjoy it.
Jody says
Downloaded Fitbod app – wow, it is great! Thanks for sharing. What a great community of followers you have! I’m always picking up great reco’s from here.
Mix and Match Mama says
Me too!!! It’s such an amazing community!!
Rebecca says
The cuteness is amazing!! You made me want another puppy!!
Ordered your hair bundle today, thanks for the deal. I can’t wait to use it!!
