Happy What’s Up Wednesday!
I am oh so excited because tomorrow is the first day of MAY!
And I love me some May 🙂 .
I hope you come back tomorrow to celebrate with me!
In the meantime, per usual, on the last Wednesday of every month, Sheaffer and I host this little linky party where we share what’s going on with us right now. It’s a little food, a little family, a little what we’re wearing, a little what we’re doing, a little what we’re watching and a little bit of everything else all in one post.
It was a very good April, friends. I hope you had a lovely month too!
Alrighty, here we go…
If you read my SUNDAY RESET post then you know I made CHEESY RANCH TACOS for dinner on Sunday night.
We have the same thing every Sunday night for dinner because it makes my transition from weekend into Monday so much easier.
On Monday night, we grilled burgers. I can’t quit it with my JALAPENO CHEDDAR STUFFED BURGERS.
And then last night, we had SAUSAGE AND BACON PASTA.
This time last year, Andrew and I were gearing up to go to…
Gosh, that was a great trip!
I’ve been thinking about it quite a lot this week…
…and still questioning Andrew’s ease with the monkeys and bats.
You can catch the Bali trip recaps HERE! It was an EPIC vacation!
You guys, look what I found…
…aren’t they so cute?! For the second spring in a row, Target is killing it with their adorable SANDALS!
THESE SANDALS are so comfy, so cute, and only $30! (And my dress is HERE!)
On Monday, when the girls had speech therapy, our amazing therapist walked in wearing…
…THESE TARGET SANDALS that I already shared. We both looked so cute in our Target sandals 🙂 . She immediately bought this new pair too. Both so comfy and adorable!
You know it’s beginning to look a lot like the end of the school year when there are “all the things” we parents get to attend at all the random times.
Nothing says “end of school year” quite like…
…a 9:30 Monday morning NHS ceremony 😉 .
I looked around the very packed auditorium and chuckled to myself at allllllll the parents not at work.
I’m excited about all the fun we have over the next few weeks as we wind down another year. We have both high schools’ spring football games, a middle school choir concert, a fourth grade theater production, field day, awards ceremonies and more. It’s hard to believe that we have less than a month to go. Woohoo!!
Being on Nantucket with all of my peeps over the weekend has me excited about SUMMER!
Yes, yes, and YES! We can’t wait to go bACK!
Sign us up for summer 🙂 .
If you’re thinking about summer too, don’t forget that last year, you guys shared…
…YOUR TOP 10 US SUMMER CITIES (with more honorable mentions too!). That post is a great resource for domestic destinations for summertime.
If you are thinking about Disney though…
…we would love to help! Today is the last day that our travel agency is offering a $50 Disney Gift Card as a special thank you from us to be used on your Walt Disney World vacation. Simply fill out this quick INQUIRY HERE for more info. You can book a trip any time this year or through October 31st of 2026.
Yesterday was my APRIL BOOK REVIEW!
This month, I read (and loved!) six books that you should probably check out.
I read a memoir, an historical fiction, a wellness book for women, two chick lits, and a novel about sisters who used to be in a band. It was a very fun mix!
Check out my review HERE!
Poppy snoring softly.
Let’s take a peek at April…
This STRIPED BUTTON DOWN was a super cute top to add to my jeans and sandals uniform. It’s priced really well and comes in a variety of colors! I love my PENDANT too
My WHITE SHORTS and THIS CUTE TOP and MY SANDALS were favorites in April.
THESE VUORI SHORTS are so cute and easy to dress up or down.
I shared this story, but truly, not one but TWO different neighbors stopped me while I was out walking my dogs to ask me where I purchased MY GREEN SHORTS. The color is good, y’all (but they do come in other colors too!). My top is HERE!
Speaking of green…
These SHORTS ARE ONLY $20! The TANK is too and both come in a variety of other colors as well as the ADORABLE sports bra underneath!
Both my GAUZE TOPS and my TENNIS SKIRTS were on repeat this month…
…just can’t quit ’em…
…so many colors AVAILABLE HERE!
I loved these PAPERBAG WAIST SHORTS so much that I bought them in both colors.
“DAD DISTRESSED” shorts for the win!
And…
…I rounded up the month with MY DRESS which is on major sale!
Little Miss Mades has her school play! We have been practicing, watching, and listening to her get ready for this performance for MONTHS now. We are all so excited to go watch our girl on stage!
This morning, I also shared THIS BLOG POST…
…this next month, I want to team up with YOU and let’s see if we can’t WALK EVERY DAY IN MAY!
I am looking forward to walking more in May and hopefully, many of you will “join” me too 🙂 .
That wraps up What’s Up Wednesday this month! If you blogged along with us, please make sure you link up below too.
I hope you all had a wonderful month! I’ll see you back here in MAY! xx

Hi! Can you link the striped dress please? It’s so cute!
Mix and Match Mama says
Yes! This dress is AMAZING! https://shopstyle.it/l/cpFVp
Erika Slaughter says
I can’t wait to hear how your little performers big day goes! So excited for her {and you} that it’s finally here!
Sheaffer says
This post has me so ready for summer!!!
Meredith says
Why did you find it funny about allllll the parents not at work? Allll those parents made their child a priority, regardless of their work.
Mix and Match Mama says
I just kind of marvel at all the parents who are there on a Monday morning. Don’t you do that? I did the same when we played summer baseball games at 11:30 on a Tuesday. It’s just something I notice and always think “wow”. It’s a great thing…it’s just something I notice and the planner in me always thinks about all the things people had to do to be there. It’s just an observation I always make in situations like that.
Bri says
Bali looks so beautiful! And those tacos & burgers?? Mouthwatering!
Kacey says
Those Target sandals almost got me this week!! I went in for sunscreen and walked out with sunscreen, 3 tennis skirts, a workout top and 1/4 zip HA! I had to reign it in!
Mix and Match Mama says
Happens to me every single time 😉
Marisa Patel says
Nantucket in the summer sounds fabulous!!!! I am going to try the Walk Every Day in May, wish me luck HA!
Anne says
What shoes are you wearing in the pic with the dogs?
Mix and Match Mama says
Those are FOREVER old. They are Sketchers that I keep in my garage. They slide on and go!
Kristen says
I swear by those sketchers, I have numerous pairs and they are truly the most comfortable but they are out of style now right? I really want to bust them out again , lol! they were so popular at one point! I do see the senior citizens still wear them.. ha
Elizabeth says
I love these posts. A little bit of everything all in one place- thanks!!!
Victoria says
That neon hat caught my eye and has me thinking..would you ever do a post on your fun hat collection? You have the best trucker style hats and you wear them so well! Maybe a Travel Tuesday post since a lot of them are from places you’ve traveled? Details on where you buy them, what you look for in a style, hairstyles to wear them with, other souvenirs you pick up when traveling, etc. Am I the only one who would be interested in a hat post?! 😜
Mix and Match Mama says
Well that’s a fun twist on things! Thank you for the suggestion!!
Andrea says
Did you size up in the J Crew Factory gauze top to be able to tie it?
Mix and Match Mama says
I did not. I bought xs which is my TTS. You’ll love it!
Karah Stracener says
We just had cheesy ranch tacos on Monday. That is definitely a family favorite in our household. I was already planning on making your jalapeño burgers tomorrow. I am adding those sandals to my Target cart now. I will join the challenge of walking every day in May. 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
You are going to LOVE the sandals!
Michele says
Are you still taking your walks most days with your weighted vest?
Mix and Match Mama says
Not every walk (as I typically walk a few times a day…as ‘exercise’ and then other times just to walk my dogs), but when I head out to “exercise”, I put it on.
Eliza says
Great idea walking everyday in May; I’m going to try that! Is it extra points if feel like you’re running (to all the events lol)??
Laci says
SUMMER is just around the corner!!!
