Happy happy FRIDAY!
I hope you have all had a wonderful week 🙂 . Andrew and I got away for a few days which was lovely, but of course, I always miss hanging out with you guys here.
Today, I have rounded out a few of my favorite things from the week and am sharing them with you PLUS, I’m announcing the winner of our giveaway too.
As always, I’m linking up with my friends Andrea and Erika and wishing you a HAPPY WEEKEND!
Well, clearly this was my favorite thing that happened to me this week…
…a quick trip to the Bahamas with Andrew is clearly my #1 Fave.
We were looking for somewhere warm, gorgeous, and easy to get to for a few days and after visiting…
…the Bahamas with my team in August, I knew this would be a great spot for us. More pics and details to come, but let me just say, spoiler alert, I WAS A BIG FAN!
Calling all FRIENDS AND FAMILY! I love partnering with my VERY FAVORITE skincare and hair care brand, COLLEEN ROTHSCHILD especially when it’s their 25% off site wide FRIENDS AND FAMILY SALE!
How easy is this?! Right now, get 25% off sitewide on everything (excluding bundles) 🙂 .
My mom, Kensington and me go through jars and jars of RADIANCE CLEANSING BALM to remove our makeup every single day. It removes even the most stubborn eye makeup gently and easily while keeping our skin hydrated (no stiff, tight feeling like many cleansers). We all also love the SHEER RENEWAL CREAM for our daily moisturizer because it’s not too heavy or thick (especially under makeup when the weather gets warm). At night, we love the EXTREME RECOVERY CREAM too.
Get 25% my beloved RETINOL SUPREME EYE SERUM (it’s amazing!) along with…
…the AGE RENEWAL SUPER SERUM too! You can apply it morning and night under your moisturizer. This SERUM is absolutely amazing! It packs a punch of more than 20 potent ingredients to restore the skin’s complexion to its most youthful and radiant texture.
Also, right now get 25% off…
…the QUENCH & SHINE SHAMPOO, REPLENISH & SHINE DAILY CONDITIONER, and SMOOTH & SHINE HAIR SERUM. I have said this before, but I will say this again, THIS IS THE BEST HAIR CARE I HAVE EVER EVER EVER USED. Period. It’s in a completely different league than any other product I have ever tried on my hair.
25% off sitewide happening right now!
I was wearing my #ootd earlier this week…
…TOP/TENNIS SKIRT/SANDALS when I realized that this…
…would make the PERFECT graduation gift! I have been buying and gifting these necklaces for years and years. I’ve given them as graduation gifts, as baby shower gifts (put the new baby’s name on there!), birthday gifts, Mother’s Day gifts…all the gifts. There are so many styles HERE, but the one I always wear is THIS ONE or…
…HERE (it comes in so many different colors!).
Okay, speaking of things I’ve worn this week…
…I’m really into these LUXLETIC DRESSES. They’re dresses that feel/fit more athleisure than dressy.
Wore it to church, and then it was easy to wash and dry after. #itsthelittlethings
Love!
I’m also really loving…
..my LINEN SHORTS (in so many other patterns/prints) too! They’re mid-rise, they’re not sheer, they are going to be great all season long. (And I cannot quit those SANDALS!)
Now this is random, but the weather has been really rainy in the DFW area all week, and I pulled…
…my BELOVED PACKABLE RAINJACKET so many times! You guys know that I spent a week walking around Northern Ireland in this last year, and it has continued to be a staple piece in my wardrobe. It comes in so many other colors too 🙂 .
My super cute RAFFIA BEACH BAG was a favorite this week! It comes in a cute neon yellow stripe too 😉 .
This weekend is MOTHER’S DAY which means it’s time for the 2025 edition of…
I have rounded up some of the best recipes from my mom, my mother-in-law, and my grandmothers and am sharing them HERE for you to enjoy too. So many of them would make excellent bites this weekend and certainly into the summer season.
From a breakfast casserole to sides, entrees, stews and desserts too, you can see all of the Mamas’ Best Recipes today!
And finally…
…it’s time to announce the lucky winner of SHAY’S HAPPY MAY GIVEAWAY!
Congratulations MARY BETH KOUBA!
You have won the French Market Tote along with a 40 OZ STANLEY LEAKPROOF TUMBLER both MY FAVORITE SHAMPOO and CONDITIONER, a LANEIGE SLEEPING MASK, RADIANT CLEANSING BALM, and a KINDLE PAPERWHITE!
I emailed you this morning. Please email me back ASAP to claim your prize. BUT WAIT if you aren’t Mary Beth, May is STILL going, and there will be a second giveaway for the second half of the month. Details next week 🙂 .
This weekend is Mother’s Day weekend which always, always, ALWAYS gives me all the feels. I know so many of you, like me, are so excited to spend this weekend with your children and your mamas, but I also know that this weekend brings a lot of grief and heartache to many too. I don’t say this lightly when I say that I am going to be praying for all of you who have lost your moms or are trying desperately to become a mama, but it’s just not working. I am especially praying for you who have lost your children. My heart aches for all of you, and I just want you to know that I am praying.
Sending ALL OF YOU so much love this weekend.
It’s May, you guys, let’s go and enjoy it. I’ll see you Monday. xx

The Bahamas looks lovely! Was there back in the 80’s for spring break! LOL.

Omg my jaw dropped…..how exciting!!!! I checked my spam folder and can’t find the email. I have all the mix and match mama blog emails. Is it coming from a different address?
Mix and Match Mama says

Excited to hear all about your vacay!
Karleigh Johnson says
Happy Mother’s Day Shay! I lost my mom when I was 11 years old. Being a mom myself has filled a void I’ve had since then, in the best of ways. It’s given my life meaning and purpose. I used to think I wouldn’t be good at it because I lost my mom so young, but she left such an impression on me that I find myself doing so many of the same things she did to make my children’s lives special. Enjoy the weekend with your family!
Mix and Match Mama says
Goodness, I just wish I could give you a hug, Karleigh. I hope you have a wonderful, wonderful Mother’s Day with your precious family. xx
Beverly says
So glad I found Colleen rothschilds products on your blog. The hydrating mask is must have, a real game changer. I t’s the last. thing I put on every night and wake up refreshed & mooth. What a difference.

Erika Slaughter says
Happy Friday!! Your getaway looked spectacular!
Tammie Narvell says
I love the Bauble Bar personalized necklace for a baby shower with the baby’s name. What a great idea!
Chelsi says
I just ordered the shampoo, conditioner, and hair serum, I am growing my hair out and keep looking for clean products that don’t weigh my hair down, give it shine, and help the slight frizz it gets. I am excited to try these products. I love your blog and watching all your travels!
Chelsi says
Sorry for the 2nd reply!
My favorite blog you do is the book review!! I now have a small library from it! 🤣
Katie Hahn says
Happy Mother’s Day weekend Shay!
Marisa Patel says
I am going to make the strawberry banana pie this weekend. Happy Mother’s Day!
joanna says
Have a great weekend!!
Diane Moore says
It’s so good to have you back! I thought you were gone all week and just saw the link on instagram. 😁
I must admit, I have not kept up with the walk every day in May. We’ve had rain, cooler temps, and I obviously wasn’t truly committed or I would have done it anyway :/
I have done my own exercise commitments, but I felt the need to confess.
Happy Mother’s Day 🌷
Holly says
Happy Mother’s Day, Shay!

I lost my mom the day after Thanksgiving and, whoa, I don’t think I expected my emotions to be as all over the place as they are today. Thank you for acknowledging that Mothers Day can be happy, sad, and complicated for many of us. 🩷
Mix and Match Mama says
I am just so sorry for your loss. Sending you SO much love. xx

So looking forward to the recap of the Bahamas! Looking for somewhere “close” to go off the eastern coast – this may be the perfect fit! Happy Mother’s Day, Shay!
