Fifty Two Shades of Shay


I present to you a new weekly blog series here at Mix and Match Family…Fifty Two Shades of Shay :).
I was telling my girlfriend Andrea that I get a lot of questions about certain things I like/do/eat/wear/shop for, etc. and then I also mentioned how my goofy friend Elan said I should blog about Fifty Shades of Shay…well, being the creative genius that she is, Andrea said I should do a series featuring one shade of myself each week for a year (hence the 52 part).  
Each week will feature a different shade of my life…like what makeup I wear,  what my fitness routine is, how I keep laundry under control, what books I like to read, where I like to buy my coffee in bulk, and so on.  Fifty Two Shades of Shay…starts Monday.

    Such a fun idea! Looking forward to it!! (although i can't imagine some of the questions you get ~ there are some things you just don't ask!! i think by now i would have had to do a "look y'all" post letting everyone know all the topics i'm not going to answer questions about! ha!) =)

    Love it! I am sitting here trying to figure out why I blog-stalk you…. We have similar lives, I'm a cute mama who workouts out, drinks coffee and had 3 kids in 3 years (my oldest is Ks age and shares a lot of her wardrobe with K). I think the reason that I love you so much is because you are so normal and relatable, yet at the same time you seem to have you life together (cook dinner every night, work, get up early, keep your house clean, read the bible, etc). Living your life must take incredible discipline and I aspire to be live that life. I think I feel that if I know you, then it is one step closer to me being that person. I also love your positive outlook on life – I worry obsessively and admire your attitude. I'm not sure if you read all of your comments, just wanted to add my opinion.

    What a fun idea and love the graphic! I hope you'll be answering multiple questions each week, because 52 questions would not nearly be enough to capture all that we love about you!! XOXO

    Question: How the heck ya'll stay thin with those sweets around? Do you love exercise? If so, what? What do you feel like is your biggest struggle? Both just personally and spiritually? What has been your favorite Bible study? Favorite author? Christian and non. Top favorite food. Top favorite dessert? Biggest chef inspiration?

    Mix bag???? Ha!!!
