Happy Friday, friends!
Thank you so so much for being here with me today! I just love spending my Fridays with YOU 🙂 .
This week at the Shull’s house, we had our first full week of school: cross country began, Wednesday night church started back up, we had an athletic parent meeting at the middle school, we navigated a new carpool/after school routine, and we complained about the heat. As much as I love, love my summers, I really love our school routine too…especially this time of year.
Per usual, I’m linking up with my friends Andrea and Erika and wishing you the best start to your weekend.
It’s FRI-DAY, y’all!


Last night, both of our high schools had their last scrimmages before the season officially kicks off next week.
Andrew and I cannot wait to watch…

…our favorite McKinney Boyd varsity cheerleader and…

…our favorite Lovejoy varsity defensive lineman 🙂 .

We have checked off scrimmages and “decals with dads”, and now, we’re ready for GAME DAY!
Side note, if you haven’t binged the TV show Friday Night Lights yet, you should. It’s a really fun one to watch this time of year!

Oh yay, yay, yay…

…it’s 25% OFF THE BEST SELLERS with COLLEEN ROTHSCHILD right now!
Don’t go into fall and winter without trying…

…this combination! Every single day, I use my DAILY MOISTURIZER with a drop of ETHEREAL GLOW SERUM (in bronze). Just a little bit of the bronzer warms up my complexion. I started doing this in February and haven’t looked back. My skin (and therefore my makeup!) look so much better on top. Both are 25% off right now!
I don’t know why it took me so long, but last month, I finally bought…

…the INTENSE HYDRATING MASK for the first time and have loved it! I have been using it about twice a week instead of my nighttime moisturizer for extra hydration.
And now is the time for you to either try or stock up on…

…the RADIANT CLEANSING BALM! This is the GOAT of all my skincare products. This cleanses my skin, removes all of my makeup (even stubborn eye makeup) while keeping it hydrated and not ever making my face feel tight or stripped. The girls and I use this every single day as well as my mom. The best!
I always love collaborating with you, Colleen Rothschild!

Should you not live on the surface of the sun and/or be getting ready in your heart (and closet!) for fall like me, I have a few finds for our Friday…

I wore this SWEATSHIRT on Wednesday. It comes in other colors, but this one said “hello, September!” to me…plus, you know I love my TENNIS SKIRTS 🙂 .
I did not wear this, but I tried it on for you because it was soft, comfy, and cute…

THIS CARDIGAN (comes in other colors!) with MY JEANS and MY FLATS
And one more…

…soft little CARDIGAN to transition us into fall. It also comes in several other colors and patterns.
On this week’s TRAVEL TUESDAY post, I shared my best tips for handling airports with ease as well as…

…a few collages of what I like to wear on flights. I thought I’d show you…

…one of the outfits in real life. THIS TOP + JEANS + FLATS would make a really easy and comfy airplane outfit!

You guys, for several years now, I have shared my love for…

…the TV series Ted Lasso. Andrew and I love it so much that…

…you can imagine how much we fan girl-ed when we met one of the stars in London after Tab officiated an NFL game and…

…one year, Andrew and I even went as the characters Roy and Keely from the show.
Disclaimer, the language in the show is really funny but very “mature”, but the show itself is sweet and charming and uplifting and original and goodness, it’s just really GOOD TV.
Needless to say…

…we are SO SO SO SO HAPPY THEY BROUGHT IT BACK FOR SEASON FOUR!!
If you are looking for quality TV, I can’t recommend this series enough. I was absolutely giddy when I sat down to start this new season.

Last week, I went to Hobby Lobby to take in all the fall.
Should you be heading there any time soon, here’s what came home with me…

…some fall and two bonus Christmas trees 😉 .
Where does one put a Bluey outdoor fall doormat in August?

Mades immediately put it in her bathroom. Bahahaha! The rest of the pumpkin stuff will stay put away until September, but the outdoor mat has found a home in her bathroom 🙂 .

How cute are those disposable coffee cups? My girls like to take tea and coffee in the mornings, so I thought these were extra adorable. I always stock up on fall baking items from Hobby Lobby as well as…

…that cute cute cup for water, a doormat for my exterior office door, two more of the light up pumpkins (I buy them every year), and Christmas trees.

And finally, it’s a BIG day because…

…today is my annual BACK TO SCHOOL SLOW COOKER SUPPERS!
This blog post right here is one of my most popular posts of the ENTIRE YEAR!
Out of 465 blog posts last year, this was the 10TH MOST VIEWED ONE!
Today’s updated post includes FIFTY RECIPES to make your school year less complicated, simple, and delicious.
I hope you all have the BEST weekend! I will be back here with you TOMORROW! I’ll see you then! xx

Happy Friday Night Lights Season! To go coffee cups on hand is always a good idea and those are so cute! I am doing my annual Hobby Lobby Crawl this week too, and I cannot wait to piddle in autumnal happiness!

Shay,
We are Ted Lasso fans as well. It’s a bummer when you came into it late and had back to back shows…now you have to wait 😆
We also just finished The Middle…youngest wanted something fun to watch….that show is still so funny, relatable, and tugs at your heart as well!
Happy FriYay and weekend!!
Mix and Match Mama says
The Middle is a REALLY cute show too!
Laci Uhrbom says
We finally started Ted Lasso and we are HOOKED!
Constance says
Good morning hand bag queen! Have you ever used the large tote from mz Wallace? I’m looking for a new travel tote and wondering how that compares with the beis weekender bag. Thanks!
Mix and Match Mama says
I have not, but maybe someone else here has and will have feedback!
Arika says
Ted Lasso restores my faith in humanity! It is such a great show.
Paula Hobbs says
Great Friday Favs!! I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!! xo
Laura Holmes says
Feeling very “back to school sad” yesterday after dropping off my youngest at college! So, I took your advice and piddled at Hobby Lobby. It definitely perked me up! I also bought those fall cups to put in a care package to send to her soon! Always fun to see the seasonal goodies and get excited about what’s to come.
Mix and Match Mama says
Sending YOU so so much love!
Lauren Palmer says
First of all, Andrew’s eyebrows in the halloween pic. 🤣 Also, I’m ordering those flats.
Holly C says
Happy Friday… this has me so in the mood for fall decorating but won’t just yet!!!
Nikki says
Your kids go back to school so early! In MA we still have another week of summer break, but I’m loving seeing all the fall decor and the moment labor day weekend is over, the fall decor is going up! 😉

I am SO jealous!
Beverly says
I love the mask. I apply a very thin layer of the mask as the last step in my nightly routine. It seals i all the other serum. and facial products for an amazing hydrating overnight treatment. My other favorite is the large tub of. body cream that everyone says smells like fruit loops. Everywhere I go someone asked, “who just ate fruit loops?” Once a week I use the companion body oil after my shower all the other days it’s just the body cream, head to toe after each shower. It’s my new go to gift and I buy whenever they are on sale and keep in case I. forgot someone’s birthday or special occasion.
Mix and Match Mama says
I will not be able to not think of Fruit Loops now every time I put it on. Ha! I love that description! It’s just the most luxurious cream!
Joanna says
Great pictures…so excited for fall!
MEG says
Your kids go to different high schools? Is that a Texas thing?
Mix and Match Mama says
They do, and it’s not common…but it’s not crazy uncommon either. Oddly enough, my brother and I graduated from two different high schools and my mom and uncle did too (and my niece and nephew!).
Carly T says
Isn’t Coach Taylor just THE BEST?! I rotate between a FNL and Gilmore Girls re-watch every Fall!
Mix and Match Mama says
The BEST!
Alisha says
I haven’t watched Ted Lasso other than a few minutes of the first episode this season 1, the grocery store scene. That was shot at the McKeever’s Market and Eatery in Lee’s Summit, MO last summer. I work for the Corporate office, so crazy that 10 minutes took them a full day of a rented out grocery store to shoot – we were all watching lots of security footage that day 😉 They spent a week around KC/Lee’s Summit shooting that one episode. Lots of excitement around this season of Ted Lasso.
Mix and Match Mama says
Well that is such a fun tidbit!!
Amber says
Love Anthropologie denim and those jeans are not only chic but look so comfy too, what size did you get? My favorite jeans are similar from Kut from the Kloth but they run big so wondering how Paige runs. Hope you have an amazing day!
Mix and Match Mama says
I bought them in my TTS, 26. They’re so comfy!
