Happy S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y, friends!
We are bringing back our FALL & HOLIDAY SUMMER SATURDAY posts!
Between now and the end of the year, I will be posting these bonus Saturday posts each week with different/fun/original content that you will only see here. The format will be the same as it was over the summer. The prompts will change a bit, but the rhythm will stay the same. This will also be the only place for you to see real time pics and details from any *extra* fun activities and/or trips happening this season too, so make sure you grab your pumpkin spice latte, cozy up in your favorite blanket, flip on You’ve Got Mail and check out this post every Saturday morning before heading over to my Pinterest account (and you will WANT TO HEAD THERE this fall/holiday season too because friends, “pinning” is the only thing in life I do really, really well 😉 ).
I hope you’re already having a wonderful start to your weekend!
On Thursday night, Smith’s high school played the high school that eventually…
…these cute kiddos will attend!! It was Lovejoy at Highland Park, and the Lowe family showed up to make it SPECIAL!
Even though they will one day be Scots, they met us for dinner beforehand and came to the game…
…dressed to support the Leopards 🙂 .
The Shull family can’t wait to one day show up and wear Scots gear and cheer Samuel, Isaiah and Mia on. I know that we’re going to blink and those three will be in high school too.
My sweet hubby made it to the grocery store by himself this week (don’t worry, he didn’t bend, lift or twist), and while he was there, he saw this and bought it for me…
…because truly, the way to my heart is pumpkin anything.
How cute are my mom and dad?!
These two left on Monday night for a Baltic cruise out of Copenhagen and already, they seem to be having the best time.
This is their second Baltic cruise. If you’ve been around here a while, you might remember their first one…
…in 2011! We went on a Baltic cruise with my parents, my grandparents and 1 year old Smith and two years old Kensington. It feels like yesterday. YESTERDAY.
We would love to help you get to Europe and/or on a cruise this year or even next year too! Contact our office for more information on our vacation planning! From Disney to Hawaii, Europe, cruises, Asia, Africa, Australia and more, we LOVE working on YOUR vacations!
I know most of you probably saw my SWEATER HAUL on Thursday, but I wanted to share a few more sweaters I’m loving right now too…
…you can check out all of these FALL TOPS HERE as well as…
…these FALL SHOES!
I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR SO MUCH!!
It’s just the best time of year to get dressed 🙂 .
My fall nail color might be my fave so far this year! It’s #14 in the Nexgen “dip” book should you get your nails dipped too. If you don’t get your nails dipped, I think that OPI’s We the Female is a really similar shade.
I hate to be negative, but I just have to say that I was disappointed this season with Emily in Paris. Anyone else? I thought the first two seasons were so charming and adorable but now, I pretty much love every character except Emily. Am I alone here? I wanted this season to be amazing…but it just was not. I need a version with the sub characters only apparently. I am so bummed about this one.
Well, since the house is decorated, this week, Mades wanted to wear all of her festive tees to school…
…the front is so cute but wait…
…riiiiiiight?! Adorable! She wore this on Wednesday, but Thursday’s tee was my absolute fave…
…me and you both, babe.
I find almost all of her seasonal tees on Etsy! I used THIS VENDOR for the Spooky tee and THIS VENDOR for the cozy one.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Thank you so much for stopping by today! I’ll see you on Monday, friends! xx
Emi says
Yay for Saturday posts and love Mades shirt!
Faith says
Thank you for the extra posts- so excited for the cozy reads and recs on the weekend!
Mades’ shirts are hilarious! What would you call your current “era”?
Sarah C says
Love these Saturday posts!! Your “something I watched” made me think about a podcast you might like! Now I’ve never watched Emily in Paris, but I do listen to every episode of “Office Ladies” and their sound guy, Sam, hosts a podcast “Enemy in Paris” where they recap the show and talk about how much they like everybody EXCEPT Emily! 🤣 When I read your post it made me think about that podcast!
Mix and Match Mama says
I need to listen STAT!
Emilee says
I need Emily to redeem herself when the second half of the season resumes! I’ll keep watching for the cute scenery and French references. 😊
Nicole says
Love the Saturday post!!!!! I agree with Emily in Paris. I was so excited for the season to drop but I did not enjoy it as much. I hope you guys have a wonderful weekend.
Elspeth says
I love these bonus posts! Have a fall-tasting weekend!

Natalie Alvarado says
Love the fall nail color! Thanks! 😊
Lisa D says
Yay for Fall travel! It’s truly the perfect time of year to get out and enjoy other places. I’m sure your parents are having a terrific time.
Ashley Majher says
Can’t wait to reach out to have you guys help with planning on honeymoon in Italy!
Mix and Match Mama says
We would LOVE to help!!
Karleigh Johnson says
Where is your Halloween house from? Is it Department 56? I love 😍
Mix and Match Mama says
It is!! It’s the Halloween collection from their Snow Village line.
Diane Moore says
I love Saturday posts!
I’m so glad they are continuing!!
It’s going to be in the 40’s overnight here in Ohio.
Woohoo 🍂🍁🍂
Denise says
Your Saturday content is always fun!
Jam Fisher says
My cousins daughter is an assistant principal at highland park HS. Small world!!!!
Mix and Match Mama says
No way?! That is a small world!!
Jennifer Reiter Russell says
Oh my gosh, is the new season of Emily in Paris out? I knew it was coming! Thanks for mentioning it so I can check it out!
Meredith says
Love all the cozy of this time of year…now if this Texas weather could get the message that would be great!
Katherine Lang says
I’ve been meaning to tell you that I had SI joint fusion surgery on my back on 8/26 around the same time Andrew had his surgery. Not fun at all! I’m glad Andrew is getting out and about and doing well. I will be leaving my house for the first time this evening since surgery and I’m so excited to have dinner out and enjoy an adult beverage! Have been off pain medication since Thursday, so I’m ready! 😁 Madeley’s tees are so cute and perfect for the season!
Mix and Match Mama says
I am so happy you’re on the road to recovery too!! Sending you so much love! xx
Tamara R says
These weekend posts are so fun! You know I want more details about your parents’ cruise! 😉. I completely agree with you, I could not even get through this season of Emily in Paris – I quit after the first three episodes. Have a great rest of the weekend! 😘
Jennifer Wolfshohl says
Me too! Emily in Paris is a no for me this season. Ugh!
Heather says
So glad Tis the Season is back! Love the little extra joy you spend here when so many spread negativity.
I felt the same way about Emily in Paris. Netflix just bottoms out at season 4 with all their series. Like they give up or something? The only exception would be The Crown. They held their own the whole way through!
Grace says
I’m here for all things cozy, football, and pumpkin spice!! Have a great weekend, Shay!!
Rebecca Day says
I’m only 2 episodes into this season of Emily…and I agree with you. There’s something just lacking about it. I’ll have to watch the rest and see if it’s Emily, but so far, she’s coming across as maybe less sophisticated and mature??
Pamela says
College football, cozy blanket, coffee with pumpkin creamer, and Shay having a Saturday Post…BEST way to start weekend!!!! Thank you for all your hard work!!!
Cathy Perez says
Geez you’ve got a great hubby, he knows the way to your heart, all things pumpkin!
Traci Mp says
Happy Saturday!! Love love love all the fall!!
Andi Fernandez says
Your posts always leave me feeling encouraged and excited to embrace the next season, but this week’s slate of posts especially has me excited for cozy season. The weather we’re having in NTX is a bonus too 🍂🧡
Michelle Etheridge says
Yay for Saturday posts!! Hope Andrew is recovering well.
Melissa says
Oh my gosh! We just got off the Dawn in Copenhagen this week! We had a wonderful time and I hope your parents do too!
Mix and Match Mama says
Yay!!! What a fun coincidence?!
Dawn Scheurich says
Your parents are precious! Also, aren’t cousins the best!! Have a wonderful weekend!
Kelsee Polk says
Love that nail color!!!
Carol says
Enjoy the Saturday post. Sunny fall like day here–69*. Pumpkin bread in the oven while watching Pumpkin Pie Wars, reading your Saturday post, loving my fall decorations and drinking coffee with. a bit of pumpkin spice creamer. Glad Andrew seems to be doing well. Have a Great weekend!
Cheryl Sandoval says
Your parents are just adorable. You can see the light shining through them! ❤️
Dana B says
If you aren’t watching Tell Me Lies on Hulu 👀
Not wholesome or sweet but if you want to love/hate a character(s)(Steven and Lucy) and some college drama it’s something to say the least! Season two just started.
Andrea says
We are going to Paris in a few weeks so I was really excited to watch this season of Emily in Paris. I quit watching after the first two episodes. Emily is just so unlikeable. It’s hard to have a main character that you can’t root for.
Faith says
Love the extra weekend blogs! I love that Andrew buys you all the pumpkins/Fall stuff. My husband is like “PLEASE not another one!” 😆
Carolyn says
I think Netflix is releasing the next 5 episodes of Emily in Paris on the 15th so hopefully those are better!
Dawn Crawford says
Just started watching The Perfect Couple which takes place on your favorite island! It’s on Netflix and so far so good!
Katie says
Love this!! But really need to know where your mom got her jeans?!? They are adorable!
Mix and Match Mama says
I can ask!
Audra says
Can you link your mom’s outfit! She looks so cute!
Rene Watten says
One day I’d love to go on that same cruise. I’ll be sure to ring you guys up. A question. I thought you guys went to McKinney schools. Did you change or move? Probably TMI but just wondering.
Mix and Match Mama says
My three girls do and Smith goes to Lovejoy ISD which is in Lucas, TX 🙂 .
Ashley Lewis says
This is a random question but what kind of floors do you have in your house? (The wood looking floor) is it tile? Wood? We have wood looking tile but our grout is so hard to keep up with and I want something that has no grout and yours looks like it has no grout! (Saw your stories on instagram right now lol) thanks!! Also, we booked our next Disney trip through Jane for next summer and we’re SO excited!
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s real wood planks, so no grout. I’ve seen some amazing tile though that looks like wood. Do you follow my friend Sheaffer? I believe she has an area of it that wears really well with her dogs. WE ARE SO EXCITED to help YOU get on your magical vacation!
Melissa Baur says
That nail polish is A-mazing! Love it.
Yvonne says
Yay for Saturday posts!!! LOVE all the fall content! Went to Traders first thing this morning for my fall goodies! Madelyn looks so cute with her tees! She is inspiring me to start wearing mine! Have a great day!
PS…I hope Emily redeems herself in the second half of the season!
Rahel says
Those shirts are so cute!!
Suz says
Forced myself to get to the end of season 1 of Emily in Paris. Could not handle it. Terrible. The scenery was the only thing saving it.
Laura says
Yessss…… Emily in Paris was a disappointment! I feel like it is the same plot with the same love triangle just now a few different dynamics. That being said I promise I will watch the rest of the season once it drops 🤦🏻♀️
Jennifer says
Please do a review of the Netflix series Athena Perfect Couple. I’m only halfway through the first episode, and I have so many opinions.
Laura Holmes says
I feel the same way about Emily in Paris. Bummer… I was looking forward to it! Are you planning a fall home tour? It’s one of my favorite posts from you!
Mix and Match Mama says
YES!! I will post it at the end of the month (hopefully!). I have to lug all my own pumpkins this year, so it’s taking me longer to get the exterior together. I miss my man being able to lift things 😉 .
Ali says
Love a Saturday post! You’ve inspired me to decorate for fall earlier than usual : )
Kerry says
Fall clothes, Fall shows, Fall foods…can life be any better? Tis the season that makes my heart smile!
hammondzoo says
My daughter and I agree with you on Emily. It just did not flow well. It had all of these snippets of content and scenes and was not our favorite.
Jeanette says
Those Era shirts are very cute.
hayley carter says
Did Nixon also move high schools to Lovejoy? I’m wondering what your commute is like without carpooling!
Mix and Match Mama says
There are several boys in McKinney who went to Lovejoy together, so we have a really solid carpool.
Gracie says
Totally agree about Emily in Paris! It was such a disappointment. I’m hoping the rest of the season makes up for the first half 😬
Marisa Patel says
I would be in shock if my husband bought me ANYTHING holiday/season-themed! He complains constantly that I have too many and that it isn’t necessary 🙁 it breaks my seasonal decorating heart.
Jen says
I didn’t like this season of Emily in Paris either. I didn’t like the story and there were too many subtitles.
Alexis Pursley says
Every time I see your nail color, it’s the next color I want to do! Ha. Happy Saturday!
Mix and Match Mama says
I’ve enjoyed it so much that I’m going to do it again (and I rarely do the same color twice in a row).
Rindy Laquey says
I love your mom’s purse. Do you have a link? Also her jeans and tennis shoes? She’s so cute!
Mix and Match Mama says
She gets home today! I will try and get all the deets 🙂 .
