Happy happy FRIDAY, friends!
Today’s post is a SUPER BIG STROLL WEEKEND EDITION, so let’s get right to it!
As always, I’m linking up with my friends Andrea and Erika and wishing you a wonderful weekend!
OF COURSE THIS IS #1 THIS WEEK…
You guys! Oh my goodness, YOU GUYS, together, we raised over $45,000 for ST. JUDE CHILDREN’S RESEARCH HOSPITAL®!!!
OVER $45,000!!!!
Over the last five years, this community has raised $255,723 for ST. JUDE!
How freaking amazing is that?!
Sheaffer and I are BEYOND grateful that our online community can come together and do so much good for so many deserving families. Truly, I am just so humbled and honored that we can do this every year for these precious families.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
To celebrate your generous donations, our contact at St. Jude has randomly selected one donor to receive…
…a Gucci Giglio Small Tote Bag from Sheaffer and me.
Congratulations YVONNE MCNEELY!
We emailed you this morning, Yvonne. Please email us back to claim your prize.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Whew, okay to round out our Friday, a few more “faves” from this week…
Ladies, I talked about these alllllllll last winter and this week, I brought them back out again…
…THESE FLEECE LEGGINGS ARE MY FAVE! They are warm, they wash and dry so well, they keep their shape and color, they have pockets, they’re not bulky…I ADORE THEM!
‘Tis FLEECE LEGGINGS season, my friends! Get ’em while they’re on sale!
They come in other colors too 🙂 .
And speaking of fleece…
Holy. Guacamole.
I’m not sure why I was the last to learn about this item, but on Sunday afternoon, my friend Lauren had them on and MY MIND WAS BLOWN!
Why haven’t you guys told me about these leggings before?!
Lauren had them on at church and then later that afternoon, I saw her again with them on, and I could not get over the fact that she was wearing fleece leggings and not sheer tights BECAUSE IT LOOKED LIKE HER LEGS.
I immediately purchased a pair to bring to Stroll this weekend. I’m wearing them the next two nights, but I tried them on and…I don’t want to be too dramatic or anything…BUT THEY’RE LIFE CHANGING.
My legs will never be the same.
They’re amazing.
I cannot believe how much I love them.
They come in a variety of colors, and truly, I’m in love.
GENIUS INVENTION.
My PUFFER VEST is now 40% off! That is certainly a fave! It comes in other colors too.
And if you missed it yesterday…
…my “dupe” SHERPA JACKET feels and looks so similar to the original that it’s hard for me to tell them a part. I have the “dupe” in several different colors. They always wash and dry well, keep me warm, and look cute. This would be an excellent holiday gift!
This holiday season, I am partnering with Hydrow.
Friends, they have once again given me my own promo code for my blog readers!!!
My code SHAY stacks on top of site wide discounts, giving you an extra $50 off your order!
Yes!
You get an extra $50 off between now and December 8th if you use code SHAY on top of their existing discounts through December 28th.
We love our Hydrow! It’s full body fitness for the win. It works 86% of muscles, engages legs, arms, and core, it’s cardio and strength combined, and it’s easy on the joints. It’s good for all workout levels, there are “how to row” videos to get you started plus, they have “on” and “off” the rower content for a big variety of workouts outside of rowing.
My Hydrow (above) is the Origin which is already discounted $550, so this would make it a $600 savings.
You could also get $200 off the Wave or $200 off the Arc (plus my additional $50 off if you use code SHAY).
Andrew and the kids gave me our Hydrow for Mother’s Day in 2021, and we all love it. Read MY REVIEW for more info, but of course, you can always ask me questions in the comment section here too.
If you’ve ever considered getting one, now is the time! Use MY LINK and code SHAY and save big with Hydrow’s Black Friday Deals!
Over Thanksgiving break…
…Mades and I went to see Zootopia 2, and it was OH SO CUTE!
We both said we might even love it more than the first one. ADORABLE! This was absolutely a favorite for us.
Finally today…
…it’s my annual round up of EASY AND FESTIVE CHRISTMAS COOKIES!
I have so many Christmas cookies that I have not one but TWO…
…different versions of a Christmas coconut macaroon 🙂 .
Make sure you check them all out (so many!) including both rolled cookies and dropped cookies in my annual round up of EASY AND FESTIVE CHRISTMAS COOKIES!
That wraps up today’s post! I will be back here tomorrow for our bonus weekend post: STROLL EDITION!
In the meantime, I hope you have the BEST Friday, friends! xx

Paige E says
I found a new fleece thermal legging at Walmart for under $12! Cuddl Duds is the brand and I’ve been running in sub 30 degree weather in them this week and don’t feel the cold AT ALL. If anyone is looking for a cheaper option. They also have a mockneck fleece top (with thumb holes!) that keeps out the cold like the leggings. Highly recommend!

Alissa says
Which fleece leggings do you have – the 1 pocket, 2pocket, or water resistant with 4 pockets? 😂
Mix and Match Mama says
I have the two pocket!
Paula Hobbs says
Happy strolling!! I hope you guys have the BEST weekend.
Jessica says
$45,000 to St. Jude is INCREDIBLE!
Enjoy your stroll weekend! One of these days I’ll get there!
Lauren says
I am so glad you love the fleece tights! They really are life changing. We wore them all over Paris last Thanksgiving and got mom a pair too and she loves them!! You never know when you get ready for church one day that your outfit will change someone’s life!!! ❤️💚
Mix and Match Mama says
I could NOT get over them on you. I love them!
Karah Stracener says
Happy Stroll Weekend!! I will be living vicariously through you. One year my husband and I want to make it to Stroll weekend. I am adding those fleece lined leggings to my amazon cart now. Have the best weekend with your crew.
Mix and Match Mama says
You will love it! Happy Friday!
Susan Dike says
Have I missed November book review?
Mix and Match Mama says
Yes! It was Tuesday! https://mixandmatchmama.com/2025/12/november-2025-book-review/
Laura says
I can’t wait to see the stroll pictures. Have a great time.
Kristy Hudson says
What size do you wear in the sherpa? The reviews looks like you might size up? Do you like the one with the buttons, on this post, or the one you linked yesterday with the zipper more?
Mix and Match Mama says
I just double checked, and I bought the XS. I love it! I linked two different ones yesterday (I have both). This one has buttons and is the Free People “dupe”. The other one from yesterday is a cozy zippered one which is so super cozy too. They’re a little different. This one is a tad more structured and the other is more soft and sweatshirt-y.
MICHELLE OKERLUND says

Tamara R. says
Ok so Hannah literally just had me order fleece lined tights last night for overnight delivery so she could have them for our trip to NYC this weekend! They look so comfy. And now I’m going to order the fleece leggings! Have so much fun at Stroll!
Yvonne says
Wow! I am so honored to have participated in this fundraiser, St Jude is an awesome organization!……and to receive the purse too….so grateful! Thank you so much! I really appreciate all the positive content you and Sheaffer provide to us!
Have a great time in Nantucket, I look forward to your recap. 🎄
