Happy Saturday, friends!
I hope your weekend is off to a great start.
Thank you for spending a few minutes here with me 🙂 .
Here we go…
Poppy Popsicle Shull is living her BEST life at Andrew’s parents’ house.
His mom keeps us updated every day with photos and tidbits.
She’s looking pretty darn good for 13, right?! As much as Poppy is LOVING being spoiled by her grandparents as an only child, she is very much missed and will be back with us soon. We are so very grateful for Andrew’s SWEET parents for loving on our oldest pup so well this summer!
Feelin’ a little festive?
How cute are these finds…
…they are all on sale too! You can SEE THEM ALL HERE!
Want to know what pairs perfectly with the festive finds?!
These TARGET SUMMER SANDALS that are also all on sale!
I saw these sandals and ordered two pairs right away! They were delivered this week and ready for me to wear when I got home on Friday…
TENNIS SKIRT + GAUZE TOP + RAFFIA PEARL SANDALS (on sale and so cute, right?!)
These sandals are going back to Nantucket with me as well as…
…these RAFFIA SHELL SANDALS too!
Adorable 🙂 .
One of my favorite little spots is…
…the Washashore Farm Stand on the way to Cisco beach.
It’s a community garden where people grow and then leave their items (along with their Venmo) to be purchased. It’s charming and cute, and it always makes me happy.
Well THIS TOP…
…had me at the color 🙂 .
It comes in so many other great colors too, and my favorite part is that it’s COOL (perfect for Texas heat!). Of course, I’m wearing it with the VERY BEST SPORTS BRA 🙂 ,
Oh hey, Costa Rica! How sweet is this family?!
Contact us today for more information if you’d like to visit Costa Rica too!
Don’t forget, from cruises to Disney vacation planning, international spots, and Hawaii, we want to help you go on fabulous vacations too.
Alrighty, now, it’s time for this week’s summer giveaway!
This week, one lucky winner will receive…
…a STRAW TOTE FROM VINEYARD VINES!
Isn’t it cute?! Sorry the pic isn’t better, but I’m typing this from Dallas, and the bag is on Nantucket. I bought this in store and absolutely think it’s adorable (and spacious too!). It’s perfect for our Nantucket beach days…and hopefully, it will be perfect for your summer days as well 🙂 .

Awww Poppy! It’s so sweet to see you! She looks like she’s living her best only child life!

I am so glad Poppy is ok. I was concerned about her when I didn’t see her make the trip to Nantucket.
Mix and Match Mama says
She’s doing better than ever 🙂
Mary Woods says
Cutest bag!

Sweet Poppy! So nice of Andrew’s parents to love on her! Question – on your sports bra, can you share what size you ordered for reference? Does it fit pretty snug like other sports bras? Thanks! Have the best weekend with Kensington!
Mix and Match Mama says
It fits like the perfect sports bra (I’m literally wearing it now). For sports bras, I tend to order small or medium. This one is a medium and it fits great!
Carrie Martens says
I absolutely love Summer Saturdays😊 It keeps me in a summer state of mind! Thank you Shay!
Kayla says
Poppy looks adorable! I love the green shirt, especially how the back is opened. Did you see that Nordstrom has all their sale stuff on an additional sale right now? Such great deals!
Nancy Granger says
Looking forward to your June Book Club post!
Bren says
Oh how I love your Summer Saturday posts! I always enjoy my morning tea and catching up. Target is just nailing it with their summer sandals this year! We don’t even have a beach trip during these next few months, but I think I need the shell sandals for when we do! Happy Saturday, Shay!

Okay, seeing Poppy’s sweet face is all the cuteness I think I can handle for the day. It is like she is posing for the camera! Love it.
kristen says
So fun to “see” you here for summer Saturdays! And love that Poppy is enjoying her own vacation!
Emily Baker says
Target is killing it with their shoes this summer! So many cute ones to choose from!
Deb says
Poppy immediately brought a smile to my face – so precious with the bow and bandana. Love the sandals from target – hoping they have both in my size!
Alyssa J says
I bet Poppy misses y’all too! But what a fun time for one-on-one attention from extended family!
Kelly Bonner says
Looks like Poppy is really enjoying her grandparent time.

Lauren Gingerich says
Aww, Poppy looking so sweet in those pics! Can’t wait for your book club review!!
Cindy says
I have enjoyed and have loved your blog for some time. A Boston Red Sox fan too…. Our daughter graduated from Wellesley… and Harvard Law School so lots of fun in Boston for those 7 years. I use your recipes. I am a Christian Woman. I wanted to thank you SO much for sharing the Bible Recap. I did a year in the Bible read for 2024 and it was good. I cannot sing more the praises of Tara Leigh Cobble. I am learning and loving it. I am up at 3:30 with coffee and sitting with my Master and Lord and beginning the day in Bliss. My husband and I live in MI. ( Bloomfield Hills), think you did ? Not sure but life is good. Your family is beautiful and I so enjoy the Paw patrol. We have one very fiesty 13 years old Yorkie and he is the star around here. Having Diabetes for the last 2-1/2 years has been challenging but we get by. Lots of walks with him as I believe the walks ( in and out of the stroller) have kept him healthy. Take care and have a wonderful healthy summer!
Mix and Match Mama says
Oh goodness, Cindy, thank YOU for being a part of this community. I am just so blessed by your sweet comment. Thank YOU for saying hi and sharing about yourself. I am just so honored and humbled to have women like you here with me in this online space. Sending YOU so much love this summer. You have blessed me today. xx
Cindy says
You are a darling one. Thank you for this. I forgot to comment on the precious Poppy enjoying her Grandparents vacation. Such a sweet one. ❤️
Laurie says
Hi! So one of my dearest baseball mom friends and I both have read Mix and Match since you started which is when we both had our boys. Imagine all the conversations we’ve shared over all the innings!!! The gauze shirts(we own them in every color], the recipes (pumpkin pasta, winter cocktails), and the festive decor/ideas…weighted vests are our recent fav…and Bible Recap of course as well. We are grateful for your content and creativity and honesty. Thank you. (The other moms with us also benefit too lol).
Mix and Match Mama says
Awwwww! YOU ARE TOO SWEET! Thank YOU so very much! I am so honored! xx
Julie says
What a cute tote for summer giveaway!! So fun! 🏖️ ☀️ 😎
Christine says
Cute pictures! With the heat wave arriving on Sunday on the east coast, it’s reported that the best place to be is on the islands. ☀️
Renee says
Looking forward to your June book review!
Peg says
Very cute tote! Heading to FL and the beach next week. We always do a July 4th week vacation with our whole family, 17 of us now. This is our 24th year. We have gone to many different places in various states. Would be fun to go to Nantucket some year.
hammondzoo says
Saw this post this week and thought of you. I’m sure you are already a fan. 😉 A francophile home in McKinney, TX.

Mix and Match Mama says
Thank you so much for sending this to me. I know her shop well, but I had no idea this article was out. Her home is beautiful! Thank you so much. xx
Nicole says
If you’re at the beach or pool during the day, or even lunch and want a cocktail – what’s your go to? And for dinner? Thanks!! Do you stick to one or two?
Mix and Match Mama says
I typically only have a cocktail at lunch when I’m on a beach vacation, and I’m pretty simple when I do…either a vodka and soda or something like an Aperol spritz or glass of rose.
Sarah says
How fun! The bag would be a perfect 26th birthday gift on the 28th 😉
Happy Monday!
Jenny N says
I know y’all must be missing Poppy but she sure looks like she is enjoying being spoiled at the grandparent’s house!!
Laura says
Hi Shay, Laura from Canada. Just curious to know if we Canadians are eligible for the draw. If not, I will not enter any longer as I totally understand. Thank you 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
YES! You are!
Marisa Patel says
All of your pups are so adorable! Everytime I see them I feel a little nudge to get another but then my husband scowls at me HAHA! I am going to check out the sandals today to take for vacation and I think I will get that shirt to work out, I love that color!!!
Faith says
Sweet Poppy! We have a Bichon that will be 17 on 6/26. Poppy looks like she is enjoying herself!
Amanda Whittington says
Poppy looks happy. Love the green top on you!
Nicky says
Wait! So do people just leave their goods/produce at that stall and people pay and take it? Like an honour system?
This could never be South Africa, that stuff would be stolen in a heartbeat.
Always love reading your blog.
Nicky
Mix and Match Mama says
Yes! Isn’t that awesome? I don’t think it could happen most places, but it’s a sweet little spot here.
