It’s the first day of Spring!!!!!!
I know it might not feel like Spring where you live…BUT…it’s here and maybe if we channel all the sunshine and flowers, it will come.
BEFORE WE GET TO TODAY’S POST, friends, did you see the post YESTERDAY???? Oh my goodness!! I was blown away by all of you ladies who left comments sharing your businesses, hobbies and passions! I looked and clicked through links all day long. I was AMAZED! You know what really humbles and blesses me? You are all clearly such busy, multitasking, working your tails off women and yet you spend a few minutes of your day here. THANK YOU! Like seriously, GOD BLESS YOU! I am more appreciative of that than you’ll ever know. SO, I DECIDED TO CELEBRATE YOU TODAY!! I decided it was the perfect day for a GIVEAWAY!
Woohoo!!!!
I love a giveaway!!
Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of my spring shopping at either Nordstrom, Athleta or Amazon, so today, I’m giving away a $500 Nordstrom, Athleta or Amazon gift card to one lucky winner AND her friend! One winner, two gift cards…because Spring shopping is way more fun when you do it with a bestie! You each get to select which of those three retailers you want your gift card to be from. To enter to win, use the Rafflecopter below…and you probably want your bestie/mom/sister whomever you’re going to pick to win with you to enter too! For this giveaway, entries will consist of Instagram, Pinterest and receiving my daily emails as options. This is open to both US and Canadian friends 🙂 .
Speaking of Spring…did you see this…
…I even have your Spring meal planning all worked out for you! I’m sharing my 18 Delicious Spring Suppers HERE!
And what about this…
…my Pinterest boards are BURSTING with everything spring (from Easter, to Spring recipes, health and fitness ideas, gardening, patios, canning and more!). See all of my boards HERE.

Every time I try to subscribe, it says I do not have permissions to do so. This happens to me every-time you have a give-away. Any idea as to why?
Mix and Match Mama says
Do you receive my daily emails already?
Marsha says
I always check to get your personal emails but never have received any.
Mix and Match Mama says

Laura DeStefano says
I am a little sad that I have posted a comment almost an hour ago and it is now not showing up?
Mix and Match Mama says
Probably because I was at a Manda Strong Foundation board meeting this morning and not on my computer checking comments 😉 .
Pam Saltmarsh says
How do you keep track on paper what your meal plans are? Do you have a form? Do you write them on a calendar? I need something to help me out. 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
I write them on a legal pad for the entire month!
Laura says
Oh, I see it is there now. Sorry about that. Guess it just takes a while. 🙂
Lindsay McDowell says
Such a great giveaway! Today is my daughter’s 12th birthday. She is my “Spring” baby. ❤️????????
Leanne Gilchrist says
I don’t have a phone to do Instagram, and I just must stay away from Pintrest (I get MAJORLY sucked in), but I signed up for your daily emails, I have NO IDEA why I haven’t signed up for your emails before, Shay! Duh. Also, I was AMAZED at all of the links on your post about home based businesses! I saw so many Beautycounter consultants! I love BC. Shay, just thanks so much for being bright. Thanks so much for spreading brightness. I know your life isn’t perfect and you have struggles and heart aches alike, but you’re just bright. God bless you deeply, Shay! <3
