Happy last day of JUNE, friends!
I hope you all had a great weekend!
I have a little DAY IN THE LIFE for you this morning 🙂 .
As always, I picked a random day on the calendar and documented it for you every step of the way.
Here was Wednesday, June 25th…
Good morning!
First stop…
…out in the backyard with the pups. See how light it is so early?
Next stop…
…coffee plus quiet time to start my day. I always do a little work here early in the morning too.
After I was done with my beloved morning routine, I changed into my workout wear and…
…hopped on my bike!
I biked to town and then did a 40 minute walk from there. I walked and…
…snapped a lot of pics. I just can’t help myself! I LOVE looking at all the gorgeous houses…
…and the yachts!
After my walk, I met…
…my sweet boy for breakfast. (Spoiler alert, highlight of my day 😉 .)
Yes, please!
After we eat, we always walk around town and look at the boats in the marina. When we were done, we biked home…
…and this guy was waiting for me.
Next up…
…I walked two of the dogs (Frenchie was still asleep)…
…and then I sat down to work.
Mades woke up and came to say hi, and it was time for…
…tennis lessons. I walked them to tennis and then walked back…
…and folded some laundry with Frenchie.
After tennis…
…Ashby asked if I would walk with her to get coffee. That was an easy YES because you guys, I love when my kids ask me to do things 🙂 .
After coffee I worked until it was time for lunch…
…we packed up food and grilled burgers at the beach.
See my four peeps? The weather was gorgeous and the beach was busy. It was the perfect lunch break.
Mades and I packed up early because I needed to drive over and drop her…
…at a sailing lesson. I dropped her off (Andrew was going to pick her back up) and headed home…
…to work next to my laundry that needed to be folded. Please note the longer I sat here…
…working on this exact post, my laundry pile got bigger 😉 .
On this night, we had dinner reservations in town with friends…
…so I showered and got dressed for…
…Cru! We had a great table (a quick shot of the view from my seat).
The last pic of the day was us walking back to our cars with our friends…
…the Tavern was festive and lively as we walked by.
It was a great day on Nantucket.
And that’s a day in the life. xx

Have you done a tour of your Nantucket home, or is it a rental? Would love to see!
Mix and Match Mama says
I have! You can find them all here: https://mixandmatchmama.com/posts/nantucket-home/
It’s not a rental.
Tija says
Love that black dress!!🤩 Im sure you’ve shared it before, but would love the link!😘
Thank you for sharing fun stuff!!😊
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s an oldie but goodie linen dress from Abercrombie. I think it’s at least two years old. It’s simple and it works!
Stacey says
What a great summer post! Happy last day of June! and thanks for the 30 for 30 challenge! It’s been a great motivator and start to summer! And Shay, the Bible Recap has been SUCH a meaningful part of my daily life for 2 years now; best start to the day. Thank you for that eternal wellness rec🥰
Emi says
I love Day in the Life posts! And I love a walkable town. This post reminds me of when I’m down in Cape May. 💕
Ashley Cookson says
Love these posts!!
Janice says
What a fun day!
Abby says
No book review this month?!!!
Mix and Match Mama says
Just not yet. I had to finish a book over the weekend 😉 .
Dana P says
Man, these last 2 posts are so inspirational. They help me to remember all the little gifts that show up in my life, too. You have made such a difference in my life over the years, Shay! My daughter just asked me to go on a walk, shortly after you mentioned how you love when your teens ask you to do things with them. My first impulse was to say no because I’m a tired old lady (ha!), but you’re totally right-I’m gonna go!
Mix and Match Mama says
Well goodness, you are too kind. I am SO grateful for you, Dana!
Miriam Burniston says
thanks for sharing! i love new england in the summer!
Katrina Goodman says
Enjoyed seeing a day in Nantucket!! Have a great Monday!

Nicole says
Forever the girl who loves hearing about what you ate 🤣🤣 what did you have with your burger and what did you order for dinner? Drinks too! Love the reminder to say YES to my kids!!
Mix and Match Mama says
I love that about you, Nicole! I had two burger patties with cheese and half an avocado with a few sea salt and vinegar chips and some almonds. For dinner, I had oysters and fish with a salad.
Kari Miller says
What an exciting post to wake up to! I felt like I was there. Thanks for sharing your day with us.

Ashley says
This looks like such an amazing day, Shay! Your breakfast sandwich is making me hungry already, haha! I love your tank top, where do you get it from? I love to wear them in the summer but have such a hard time finding any that aren’t like see-through almost so I can never wear them by themselves.
Wishing you a wonderful new week! 🙂
Make Life Marvelous
Mix and Match Mama says
Randomly, that tank is from the little shop at Lovango. I bought it when we were there over spring break.
Katie Compton says
Looks like a lovely summer day!! Did I miss the June book review??
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s coming up!!
Karleigh Johnson says
Looks so dreamy!
Paula Hobbs says
What a great day!! These are always one of my favorite posts.
Brooke Griffith says
Looks like a perfect summer day! Will you have a June Book Review post this week? 📚
Mix and Match Mama says
YES!
Kristin says
I admire you making the effort to pack up and picnic on the beach! I am sure I would be lazy, eat at home, and THEN go to the beach!
Mix and Match Mama says
We have it down to a science! We can go from sitting around to heading to the beach in about five minutes 😉 .
Christy says
I love seeing posts like these! Love the special moment you get with Smith, having breakfast. Live that the girls are doing sailing lessons. How fun!!!
Question… What type of ground beef and seasonings do you use for your burgers on the beach? I love grilling burgers, but sometimes they just don’t turn out!
Mix and Match Mama says
We bring 93/7 for burgers and then Montreal Steak seasoning. We make the patties right there on a plate at the beach before we throw them on the grill.
Anne says
The germaphobe in me would need soap and water to wash my hands after making patties.
Sarah DeWald says
What a fun day! 🙂
Yvonne says
Thank you for sharing! Nantucket post never get old!!! I love seeing your little doggie waiting for you, he is so adorable! Seeing his sweet face just makes me smile!
Lori R says
Love seeing your pictures!
Abby says
Shay! I went in for a piercing this weekend and was going to get my Tragus done but they mentioned you may not be able to wear headphones for 6 months after which is obviously tough to not have headphones to take calls or workout in? How was your healing process? I went with just a forward helix instead for now as the recovery was easier but it’s super cute and you should add to your list!
Mix and Match Mama says
They suggested I not wear AirPods, but I did anyway. My tregus is several years old, so it’s healed just fine. I don’t have any issues with it…I actually forget it’s there 🙂 .
Maria Moreno says
Charlie in the door melts me.
CAROL CANNON says
Did I miss the June 2025 Book Reviews?
Mix and Match Mama says
You did not! It’s coming soon!!
Audrey Winter says
My boys are grown and in their 30’s and still…anytime they and their wives ask to spend time with us (me & my husband) we feel as though we just won a gold medal!!
Kim says
We feel the same way. Such a gift!
Katie Compton says
Oh yay!! I get 90% of my reads from your reviews. 😊
Erin says
Shay, I don’t know if someone has asked this before, but it looks like you all eat dinner out most of the time. Is that right? Is that kind of the summer MO when you are there?
Mix and Match Mama says
When we are on Nantucket, we do it in reverse of life in McKinney. We eat at home two nights a week here and then we eat out five nights. The food scene is really big part of the summer culture here, and we LOVE it!
Kay says
I love these posts-among my very favorite! Thanks for sharing and I’m glad you all have settled into your summer home and are enjoying it ALL!
Karah Stracener says
I always love a day in the life posts, but the day in the life posts on Nantucket are just extra special. Thank you for bringing us along on your summer adventures. My family is headed to Nantucket on Saturday, we cannot wait!! That breakfast sandwich looks delicious and the picture of Charlie at the door is the cutest thing ever. Happy Monday Shay!
Mix and Match Mama says
Yay! I hope you have the BEST time! Maybe I’ll run in to you?!
Karah Stracener says
Oh I would love that. Don’t mind me if I run up and give you the biggest hug. You are always such a bright light on the internet.
Mix and Match Mama says
I would LOVE to that!
Kate says
You are living the dream!! I love day in the life posts. Enjoy your day!
Elizabeth says
I love Day in the Life posts! I especially enjoy seeing the puppies, they are so adorable!
Stephanie ann Harris says
Thank you. It’s so lovely to vicariously live a day in Nantucket.
Jamie Beckman says
Can you suggest a favorite Bible study you’ve done in addition to the Bible recap??
Mix and Match Mama says
Yes! I cannot recommend Kelly Minter’s No Other Gods more!
Heather says
Shay, did you do the video as well, or just the written study?
Thanks!
Mix and Match Mama says
I just did the written study.
Darcy says
I love seeing the pictures of charming Nantucket! I’m so excited as just booked a trip for next June and will finally get back to the island. I wanted to go back for our 5th anniversary, but will be our 22nd instead! Better late than never! Can’t wait!
K.K. says
Nantucket… absolutely, charming! 🙂
Leslie S says
Great post! I’m missing Nantucket this morning as I’m doing laundry from our trip. It was so nice to meet you and Andrew in person (and to see Ashby and Mades!) y’all are just the sweetest family. Thank you for all the great Nantucket posts, we used so many of your faves to plan our trip and we had a marvelous time!! We can’t wait to go bACK again!! Enjoy the rest of your summer Shulls!
Mix and Match Mama says
I was SO excited to finally meet YOU in person! I am so happy you came to visit!
Stephanie Shurack says
Soooo beautiful! I look forward to your Nantucket posts every day! I am 60 and have only been there one time like 30 years ago. I need to get back for a visit!!!…
Lisa says
As someone with a siser close in age to me, your two littles are going to TREASURE these memories of care-free summer days together! So special. And I love living vicariously through you during summer on Nantucket!! Hoping to get there in Septmeber with my husband to meet up with my parents who will be sailing down from Maine!
Suzanne says
I love these posts! Going to Nantucket for the first time at the end of July. Where is it that you and Smith always get those breakfast sandwiches? Also, best coffee shop recommendation? Thank you!
Mix and Match Mama says
The Hub! That’s my favorite place for coffee too. It’s right on Main Street.
Deb says
Love the day in the life posts – you use your time so well!
Dana J says
A great summer day!! Love these posts!!
Julie says
Curious how many steps do you get a day on average?
Mix and Match Mama says
around 15k is my average all year long
Heather S says
I love day in the life posts- but ones on ACK just seem magical! I have no idea how you all
don’t just bawl your eyes out everytime you leave.
Mix and Match Mama says
I come really close, hahaha! 🙂
Rachel Kazmier says
The older they get the more time with them becomes precious. My 20 year old son who is a pilot just texted and asked if we could go to Joes after he gets off work. My mama heart soared! I know you are but cherish these moments! One day they decide to grow up and become adults!
Sheaffer says
Well, looks like a pretty perfect day!
Diane Sc says
I’ve followed you for a long time. Favorites are Book Review days and I was on a Bundt kick roll until my family said to stop because we all were getting Bundt cake bellies 😂. My daughter and son in law went to KSTATE so that’s made me a follower too. My sisters and our hubbies are taking a trip to Boston next week to see a Red Sox game (bucket list for my husband) and doing a day trip to Nantucket (my sisters and my bucket list ) We plan to rent bikes and bike the island. I’d love recommendations to make the most of our day trip. Easy lunch spot and places we should visit. Thank you!!
Erin says
Love your day in the life posts! It always motivates me to move more!
Paula N says
What a great post! I love living vicariously through you and your family! Ha! Quick question Shay…do you have a link for your grill that you take to the beach? I’m looking for something similar. Thanks and those burgers look so yummy!
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s in this post here: https://mixandmatchmama.com/2025/06/get-beach-ready/ 🙂
Marisa Patel says
Those breakfast sandwiches look wonderful! I would love to be at your beach but instead we are on Galveston (my BFF lives in Sea Isle) with 5 teenage girls and 3 pre-teen girls…my poor husband is struggling!
Mix and Match Mama says
Awwww…I hope you have the best time! Fun fact, my grandfather was raised on Galveston and went to Ball High School!
Gracie says
Love seeing the snippets of your life!!
Kelly Westbrook says
I dream I can visit Nantucket some day!
