Shay’s May GIVEAWAYS!


Hey, hey, hey HAPPY MAY!!!

You guys!

I love May.

I really love May.

Next to all of the pumpkin/Christmas-y months, May reigns supreme in my heart.

I love the weather, the baseball, the fact that school is almost over, the food, the family time, the vacation planning…I love it all!  To celebrate my love of May, every year, I host a giveaway so that maybe my May enthusiasm will also rub off on many of you.

This year though, I’ve decided to go even bigger…I will have a new, fun, very “May” giveaway each week this month!

Woohoo!

That means, each week when you tune in here, you’ll see some sort of new May prize to be won by a lucky blog reader.  One month, FOUR FUN GIVEAWAYS!

Ready to see what I’m giving away this week?!

    Hi Shay,
    Love your blog and have been a loyal reader for years. I submitted for the raffle and will try and story and share on my fb and Instagram page I’m not very techno savvy haha. My husband and I are celebrating 10 years of marriage on the 25th this month and hope to win that Yeti backpack he’s been wanting! Thanks for sharing all these fun giveaways and spreading joy and May fun to your readers 🙂

    Hi Shay, I’m going on a cruise in June and remembered you once linked a large wide brim beach hat that didn’t get messed up in a suitcase. Can you link it again? Great giveaway!

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      It was one of the packable hats from Nordstrom! They always have such a good variety of packable hats. Both in this graphic packed in my suitcase and were totally fine.
