Happy happy FRIDAY! I hope you had a wonderful week! There will not be a bonus post tomorrow as my plan is to wrap up my work this morning and then spend the rest of the weekend enjoying my family.
As always, I’m linking up with my friends Andrea and Erika and sharing this week’s FAVORITE THINGS!
I hope you all have the best weekend!
My girls LOVE the art classes at…
…Barnaby’s! This week, they’ve already been to two. First up, they had Taylor Swift crafts (um, yes!) and then…
…make your own spa day. This is just always the sweetest part of my girls’ day.
If you missed my ANNIVERSARY SALE HAUL this week…
…you can see it HERE!
From left to right: SQUARE RIB TANK // JEANS // DENIM JACKET // WEDGE CHELSEA BOOTS // INITIAL PENDANT // PUFF WOVEN CROSSBODY // TANK // SHORTS // PUFFER and PAJAMAS.
Thinking about fall clothes is always a favorite of mine 🙂 .
The opposite of fall…
My third Fave this week is all of the “life lately”…
…we have been soaking up the warm weather and sunshine!
From the beach…
…to town, we are trying to absorb as much Nantucket life as humanly possible.
It was POURING rain on Saturday afternoon, so Andrew and I decided to put on our rain clothes and head to the brewery because “no one will be there in the rain”. WRONG. The live band was playing in the rain and the place was PACKED. It made the whole rainy experience even more fun.
She’s living her best beach life…
…basically her best summer life. She was the only one up the other morning, so we watched Butterbeans Cafe and made pancakes.
We’ve gone to our neighborhood pool twice this week just for a mid-day break. It’s so easy, and they ALWAYS have friends there to play with too.
I’m trying not to count down on how many breakfasts with my boy I have left, but each and every one makes me SO HAPPY. I cannot believe he’s going to high school in a few weeks!
One of our new favorite things this year is going to Jetties Beach and then stopping by for the BEST DEAL on Nantucket after…
…between 3 and 5, the Sandbar at Jetties has $1 oysters. I’m telling you, this island doesn’t have many deals, and this is by far the very best 🙂 .
Some of my favorite summer finds are ON SALE right now like…
… and MY GAUZE TOP!
This is so random, but it made me SO HAPPY!
Pura reached out and offered my readers a promo code yesterday for 25% off. I went online and placed my own order and sure enough, it worked! Right now is their Christmas in July Sale, so I stocked up…
…on my favorite fall/holiday scents and saved with CODE CV25!
Here is the Pure we have in the bunk room here on Nantucket. I went ahead and bought a second one to have in McKinney too. Clearly my house can’t smell good enough 🙂 . Happy savings!
Monday is our BOOK CLUB DAY! I’m so excited to chat with you about this month’s book.
Finally, it’s my annual round up of SUMMER CORN RECIPES! From tacos to burgers, pasta recipes, soups and more, check out my SUMMER CORN RECIPES today too!
That wraps up this week’s Friday Faves! I hope you all have a WONDERFUL weekend! I will see you back here on Monday! xx

When I first got my Pura, I wasn’t so sure it was a great deal because it was quite a bit pricier than my wallflowers from Bath and Body Works. But after about 9 months of smelling my favorite scent (winter white) from 4-5pm during our afternoon slump, I was sold! I didn’t bring it with us overseas and I’m kicking myself for that. It would have probably burst into flames with the higher voltage, but man do I miss that thing! Question though- why are the pumpkin and holiday scents so much more expensive in your order?
Mix and Match Mama says
I could not agree more! I also love how I can control it via the app for more/less throughout the day. The reason those are more is because I bought several of each scent (up to 4).
Nancy Granger says
Have the girls been going to the library this summer?
Mix and Match Mama says
Not as much as last year. We’ve been, but last year, we were here longer and just had more time.
Sarah Shaneyfelt says
I spy a Wings of Fire book! Some of my students enjoy reading that series! If they haven’t read it yet, I recommend The Wingfeather Saga. The kids that enjoy WOF also enjoy Wingfeather and they either have or are coming out with a tv series about it!

I want you to know I had afternoon tea in a cup with a saucer yesterday!!
Mix and Match Mama says
YAY!!!! This makes me so happy!
Elspeth says
What a fun roundup! Have a great weekend!

I have been wanting to try the Pure. I think they’ll make great girl gifts for my daughters and friends this Christmas. Thanks for the code!
I was a day late reading your ‘Lazy’ post but have to say, I loved it. It’s funny how the most disciplined of people have things they can’t make themselves do. And so many of us have the same things! Very fun post.
Enjoy your weekend!!
Sheaffer says
Could you absolutely bawl that summer is coming to an end? I could, so I can’t even imagine how you feel!
Lisa D says
What??! It’s only mid-July and very hot where I am. We are enjoying every bit of summer, please don’t rush the seasons. I realize so many schools start back mid August but geez, it’s too early for PSL and fall wreaths 😉
Mix and Match Mama says
I so wish schools in Texas started after Labor Day. It makes it SO hard to stay in summer mode once the kids are back in school and all of the extracurriculars start up. I reallllly don’t like it.
Paula R. says
Happy Friday, Shay!
It was so fun to read all the great comments on yesterday’s post. “How to live like a European” surely resonated with your readers.
I have a friend who is going to visit Nantucket in August and I was super pumped to forward your Extensive Nantucket restaurant post to her. She is gluten-free, so your suggestions were super helpful.
Thanks for all your great book recommendations. I read “First Lie Wins”, which I really enjoyed and am currently reading “The Women.” I’m trying to add more fiction to my life… I tend to camp too much on the self-help, inspirational genre.
I just received “Outlive” and I’m eager to embark on this new wellness-focused life. Thank you for your boldness and courage to pursue health and wellness and taking us along for the ride.
Also-KJP-Instagram…Kiel James Patrick is going strong in his anticipatory “autumn” posts😊 He says we are less than “180 days to Halloween.” I know we are both trying to savor these last summer days before our boys are freshman! But bring on the cooler weather!
Mix and Match Mama says
I am LOVING everything KJP is posting right now 🙂 .
Faith says
Enjoy each moment! Summer is going by too fast!
I’ve been meaning to ask you…..after the bad nail experience last summer, did you ever find someone on Nantucket to do your nails or are you taking another break?
Can’t wait to get everyone’s thoughts on the book Monday! I need to skim over it since I read it so early and have had read several since then.
Mix and Match Mama says
I decided just to take a break. When we’re back in Texas, I’ll put them back on (I miss them), but for now, they’re bare.
Courtney says
LOVE that striped knit sweater! Envious of the Nantucket temps that allow for sweaters – we’re melting in NC! (not wishing away summer, but I SO look forward to sweater weather!) 🙂
Beth Valenta says
Happy Friday! Can you please share where you got your cute striped sweater from in your photo? Also, random, what current apple watch do you have? I am going in today and was wondering. Take care!!
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s from the Veronica Beard store here on Nantucket made specifically for the island. I dont think it’s online. I’m sorry!
Kay says
Happy Friday! I just got a Pura, but not a huge fan of the scents I received – White Tea #1 & Volcano. What are your favs for everyday use?
Mix and Match Mama says
I think the “salty” scents are really nice because they’re subtle and not overpowering. I also like grapefruit too!
Jeanette says
Do you ever just pinch yourself and say, “Wow, this is my life?” I know there was a TON of hard work and perseverance from you and Andrew to get to this point. Your family is very blessed with memories and experiences ❤️
Mix and Match Mama says
Every single day. I try to stop and enjoy every moment (good and bad) because I know life is super fleeting too.
Erika Slaughter says
I hope you guys are enjoying those oysters today! That’s a great deal EVEN in Texas! hahaha!
Jess says
Do you have a link for the stripe sweater you’re wearing with the girls?
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s from Veronica Beard but made specifically for their Nantucket store.
Laura says
Thank you!
Laura says
Would you be able to share a link for the mother and daughter pendent/necklace you are wearing in the photo with the girls? It is beautiful! Thank you.
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s from Love Shack on Nantucket 🙂 . They have a website!!
Laura JeanS. says
When I die, I want to be reincarnated as one of your girls. What a LIFE ya’ll are are having out there in Nantucket! You are giving them the most amazing memories a kid could have.. great job!
Mix and Match Mama says
We would welcome you into our family gladly 😉 .
abbey says
I’m sorry! I’m sure you’ve posted about that grill pan before, but I can’t find it in the search bar. Would you please share a link for it (again 🤪)?
Mix and Match Mama says
We LOVE this griddle pan! We have one in McKinney too! It’s here: https://shopstyle.it/l/cdT6C
abbey says
Thank you so much!! I just couldn’t find it, but knew this was the reminder I needed to finally hit “purchase”!!
