Shay’s Friday Faves {09.04.26}

You guys, it’s the first Friday in September!

And we get to celebrate with a three day weekend 🙂 .

Actually, three out of the four Shull kids are celebrating with a FIVE DAY WEEKEND.

Wait? Didn’t we just start school?

Yes.  Yes, we did.

Lovejoy is giving their students today, Monday, AND Tuesday off which means this mama has three kiddos home for five days.

Last night, Lovejoy had their varsity game of the week (we won!), and tonight, we get to go see McKinney Boyd.

Friday Night Lights in Texas is always a fun way to kick off the weekend.

Alrighty, settle in for a September Friday Faves.  As always, I’m linking up with my friends Andrea and Erika and wishing you the BEST Labor Day weekend.  I will be back here with you on TUESDAY. xx

Well, it wouldn’t be the first Friday in September without mentioning…

…ALL THE FALL!

I went to walk the dogs on Tuesday morning and by the time I returned, Andrew had put my concrete jack-o-lanterns out.

And then when I arrived home yesterday after my conference…

…he had placed real pumpkins out too!

He certainly knows the way to my heart 🙂 .

I spent a little bit of time on both Tuesday and Wednesday…

…putting all my fall decorations out.  You know what made me extra happy?  That my kids all got excited about it when they got home from school.

I love that pumpkins make all of us happy.  And yes, it was 100 degrees outside, so I just flipped on the fire for my photo 😉 .

I’ll share a full fall home tour later this month, but here’s another little pop of fall just because it truly is one of my favorite things from this week.

Also, about a month ago, I decided to layer my breakfast table rug.  I added THIS ONE to my existing one, and it makes me oh so happy.

Of course, these pics are faves from the last week…

…bahahahaha!  The senior cheer families bring these BIG HEADS to the games.

We have had so much fun with these things in the stands.  Clearly, the littlest sister thinks they’re a riot 😉 .

Awwwwww!  Senior year cheer, here we go!

I’ve said this before, but I always love when all my people are in a stadium together.  Since Smith wasn’t playing on this night, he was able to come cheer on our cheerleader too!

We love our cheerleaders!

And we love their big heads too.  Hahaha!  You can’t even see Britt behind Ebby Lee’s head!

So far this season, we’ve been able to go from one night at Boyd to…

…another night at Lovejoy!

I am trying to soak it all in.

Every bit of it.

A big win is always a great way to wrap up a Friday!

Yesterday and today, I’ve been in downtown Dallas at a travel agency conference.  I always love getting to meet and collaborating with other agents.  I walk away each and every time so inspired and motivated!  I absolutely LOVE what I do.

I thought I’d share a little FALL + TRAVEL with you…

…we love traveling all year long, but trips to Walt Disney World…

…Oktoberfest in Munich…

…Italy in the fall…

…or Ireland too are just some of our favorite fall destinations.  If you want to head somewhere this season, it’s not too late to book a trip!  We are also planning Christmas market trips right now too for 2026.  Reach out to us today about these or any of our other fabulous destinations.  It’s not even too early to start planning your summer vacation!

My team and I absolutely love helping so many of YOU create the perfect vacations.

Hello, hello…

…how cute is THIS SET?!  It’s not only cute, but it’s cozy too.  THIS SET comes in many other colors, but my fave was “nutmeg”.

And if you haven’t checked out…

…MY BEACH SWEATER now is the time because it’s on big time sale for Labor Day!

And…

…my BELOVED GAUZE TOP is too!  My top is now 60% off!

I wore…

…THIS DRESS to church on Sunday, and it was absolutely a favorite!

I always love sharing a look back at what you ladies loved each month.  It makes me SO happy because a little bit of all the things I love.  There are recipes and a bit of Nantucket, some randomness, books, and a whole lot of family life.  It truly, truly makes me smile when I look back each month.
