Happy happy SATURDAY, friends!
I say this every week, but seriously, THANK YOU for being a part of this community and stopping by even over the weekend.
Today, I have TWO bonus weekend posts for you 🙂 .
Not only do I have this post, but I’m also sharing my Way Day finds as well because right now, so many things are up to 80% off and everything has free shipping now through the 7th. You can see that post HERE!
Okay, a little ’tis the season for your Saturday starting with…
If you’re ever looking for Frenchie, she’s off finding the sunshine. This dog moves from room to room getting her vitamin D.
If you’re ever looking for Charlie…
…just look by my feet 🙂 .
This week, my friend suggested I watch this movie on Netflix…
…so I did a little every day while having lunch and/or at my desk, and it was SO CUTE!!! It’s kind of Hallmark-y but with Harry Connick Jr and well, I loved it. It was just sweet and adorable and oh so cute.
My grandmother cleaned out a closet last week and shared a mini wedding album with me from my parents wedding in 1977. My kids and I have LOVED going through it. These next two pics are my fave…
…my parents with my dad’s parents (a.k.a. Mimi and Papa) and…
…my parents with my mom’s parents (a.k.a Grandmother and Granddaddy).
I miss three of them so very much, but I am extremely grateful to still have one amazing grandparent left who still drives and comes to have lunch with me and bring me jewels like this album.
Guess who was in Hawaii this week?!
It was…
…three of my amazing team members!!
They weren’t there purely on vacation though, Clare and Shanna were there because…
…they were both asked to be panelist at a travel conference speaking on how AMAZING they both are at their jobs!! I could not do without this dynamic duo, and I was SO excited when they were asked to speak. I was like a proud mama 😉 .
Our sweet Hannah went as well to participate in the conference because there is always SO MUCH to learn about the travel industry, and because she rocks at her job too, she wanted to dig deeper. I am so proud of them all.
If you want to work with these amazing ladies, they would love to work with you too! From Hawaii to Europe, Mexico, the Caribbean, Australia, Africa, Asia…all over the globe, these three send clients. Contact us today for more information!
I bought the yummy Pumpkin Brioche Twist from Trader Joe’s and…
…this time grabbed some spicy sausage and a little pumpkin butter and made…
…my PUMPKIN SAUSAGE BRIOCHE BREAKFAST CASSEROLE. This one is so easy!! Smith had two friends over and between them and my girls, it was devoured on a Saturday morning. DEVOURED. I really think the spicy sausage made it extra, extra delish!
You know my favorite influencer is Kiel James Patrick 🙂 .
I love him (and his wife Sarah!) all year long, but I reallllllllly love him in the fall and holiday season. He has a wonderful shop that sells beautiful sweaters, dresses and other pieces for the whole family, and a few weeks ago, I snagged two of his latest sweatshirts…
…because YES and then also…
…yes!
If you’re looking for beautifully made clothes and seasonal (or New England vibe) sweatshirts, check out his online shop. You all should follow @kjp on Insta too because he is without a doubt my fave.
That wraps up this Saturday post! Don’t forget to check out my Way Day finds today too!
Have the BEST weekend! xx

This may sound crazy, but I think Kensington favors your mom’s dad! It’s something about the eyes or mouth, not sure, but that’s the first thing I thought when I saw that pic! Also, that pumpkin butter from Trader Joe’s is WONDERFUL!!! 🙌🎃 Have a wonderful weekend!!! 🧡
Kristi Morgan says

Happy Saturday! We are considering a refresh for our kitchen (specifically new lighter countertops) and I just went back and re-read your post from April of this year about your refresh. Love your countertops and are looking at something similar for our Boston home! 🙂

Your Mom’s wedding dress and veil are just beautiful. What a lovely bride!

I’ve always thought you and your mom looked alike, but goodness y’all are TWINS! Love your Saturdays posts🎃🍂🧡
Darcy says
Beautiful wedding pictures.…you look so much like your mom! 💕 Look forward to making the pumpkin brioche recipe…yum!
Sally Hawkins says
We bought that pumpkin, brioche twist too! We made French toast with it. Seriously all we did was whisk some milk with eggs, soak slices of the brioche, and into the pan. It was the best French toast I’ve ever had! My kids put some of the Trader Joe’s maple butter that we saw on your list, but it was perfect on its own.
Holly Sheridan says
Getting caught up on your blog this Saturday morning. Your home looks so beautiful, all decked out for Fall, and I love the Fall sweatshirts too!
Mary Jane McNeill says
KJP has the best Instagram posts, but ESPECIALLY in the FALL! #skeleton Have you been to his store in Newport? We were there for ages!!
Mix and Match Mama says
I am obsessed with his content!! Yes, yes! I’ve been once before and can’t wait to go back!
Peggy Breland says
Made your Apple Butterscotch Pecan Bread. It was such a hit with the group I served it to. I did top it with a maple glaze and it was over the top. Thanks for such a delish fall recipe to be repeated again and again.
Mix and Match Mama says
Yay!! That’s one of my favorites!!!
Robin says
Love the wedding photos of your parents. How sweet to have those! Going to check those fun fall tops of yours now! Happy Saturday! 🎃🍁☕️
Natalie Lyles says
Love the pics!! You look just like your mama here and this is crazy but I think Andrew favors YOUR granddaddy so much.
Pat says
Love the Halloween shirts!!
Karlee Darnell says
I got married in 1976 and your parent’s photos are so similar in style and color to mine! I love that you have honored your parents and grandparents in this way! And I enjoy KJP too!
Stacey says
So enjoy a Saturday post💛Yay Clare! She helped us plan SUCH a memorable trip to the UK last year, created the perfect trip and we can’t wait to go back😊You’ve got a great team! And Shay thanks for the butterscotch reminder this week….happy fall!
Mix and Match Mama says
Thank YOU so much for allowing us to be a part of your UK vacation!! We are so grateful! xx
Beth Day says
I love those pics! Reminds me of my parents wedding pics. My mom has dementia and we are at a phase where she doesn’t remember what she ate an hour ago. But a few of their wedding photos are framed and she often will recount that day in great detail. It’s heartwarming and sad all at the same time but I enjoy hearing all about it. I will enjoy her memory of that day as many times as she wants to tell it! Love those adorable shirts too!!!
kesha says
Pumpkin Casserole! It looks delicious. I need to make this ASAP!
Amy Azza says
I absolutely love the wedding pics of your parents! You look just like your mom and Sean looks just like your Dad. And I LOVE Clare.. she plans all my trips and is the best travel agent I have ever worked with.. I go back to her year after year.
Mix and Match Mama says
We LOVE YOU!! We are always so so so thankful when we plan your (many!) vacations, Amy!!
Gretchen says
Awwww, what a treasure to have those photos.
Cute sweatshirts! My girls are always finding such cute holiday sweatshirts on Amazon, but I always worry the quality is going to e terrible. I have to remind myself they’re only holiday clothes and they’ll only fit in them this year so the don’t have to be the highest quality.
Holly C. says
Love all the content… I have to try this recipe..STAT!!!
Marisa Patel says
I love the Snowy Night Sweater! I love to read about your Grandmother; it always makes me smile. I do not have mine anymore, and I miss them very much.
Sara Mayo says
What kind of training do you need to be a travel agent??
Mix and Match Mama says
I’m sure some people do it without any training whatsoever. I was trained extensively (and still do continuing education) through my host agency.
Jennifer Henke says
Maybe I missed a post. But I’ve been waiting for you to recap The Perfect Couple. I’d be surprised if you haven’t watched it. I watched the series and then read the book in the last 3 weeks. Curious what your opinion is ??
Mix and Match Mama says
Well, I haven’t watched it because I keep getting mixed reviews. Some people I love, loved it. Some people I love, hated it. Right now, I feel so mixed about it that I haven’t had the energy to begin.
