Day 50: At Good Morning Texas right after my segment aired. I'll be on every Tuesday following a Bachelor episode.
Day 51: I love my little people :)
Day 52: It was a Welly kind of day...very rainy and cold.
Day 53: Shopping with Sheaffer...at Loft (of course!).
Day 54: Sheaffer and I got to meet the three best bloggers in the world (seriously...they are!). Boo Mama, Big Mama and Kelly's Korner were so sweet to hang out with us for a moment during their Dot Mom conference. I've loved these ladies for years via their blogs, but now I love them even more because I've met them and I realize they are as sweet and wonderful in person as they are on their blogs. (Giveaway details below!!)
Day 55: time for church
Day 56: My lunch date with these four kiddos...at the glamorous McDonald's.
Melanie a.k.a.Big Mama just published a memoir about motherhood and all its glory (and all the hard, yucky stuff too!). Already a New York Times bestseller, this book will have you laughing, reflecting and loving your kids even more. Melanie was sweet enough to autograph a copy for me to giveaway on my blog. All you have to do is leave me a comment saying hi and your name will be entered to win. One comment per person please. This contest will end at 4:00 AM CST on Friday, March and the winner will be announced that morning. Best of luck!
And don't forget, you can follow me on Instagram everyday @mixandmatchmama.

Hi Shay! I absolutely love reading your blog.. I have it bookmarked at work and check it pretty much everyday!! :)
Your McDonalds looks way fancier than mine does :) Love you.
Hi Shay! I stumbled across your blog and have followed you religiously ever since then. I feel like I know you and your kiddos. I live in Dallas, too, so maybe that helps. I have just recently become a full-time step-mom to a wonderful 6 year old little girl. Ive known her and been in her life since she was barely 3, but her father and I have had custody of her for almost a whole year now. This book would definitely be a good read for me. Thanks for sharing your life with all of us! :)
-Katie D.
I love your blog & praying that your baby brother finds love & happiness. I lost my (24 yr old) baby brother in Sept of 2007 but I hold our memories tight in my heart. I read Melanie's book via ipad but I'd love a copy to read & re-read. Blessing's from East Texas!!!

Hi! :-) I found your blog just a few weeks ago thanks to a friend who's a fellow Bachelor/Bachelorette watcher and told me "do you know Sean's sister has a blog?" I'm so glad I came across your blog, and I've really enjoyed it for much MORE than you just being the Bachelor's sister. You're a sweetheart and I love how you share your faith through everything you write.
My name's Megan C., and the book sounds wonderful!
