Shay,
Thank you for the verses… Not get get political but with all the election ads it was nice to have something encouraging to read. We are counting down the days to be election ad free! 😆
Your what you said to your kids had me laughing. I think you forgot a few like yes the dog need to go out again. Our teens were saying that about dinner…. Each older kiddo had to plan 2 meals a week. It was fantastic…. Then I didn’t have to. 😆
Happy Thursday!!!
Heather S says
Yesssss!! So over all seeing all of these politicians on my tv, phone and in my mail box. Bring on all the Joy of His word!
Liz says
Shay, Thank you so much for the Bible verses, it’s just what I needed today!
Ali Patterson says
Shay – I ordered the Nutrafol and have been taking it a couple of months but do you find it hard to take all 4 of those huge pills at the same time?! Any tips or ways around that? Do you take all 4 in the morning? Thank you!
Mix and Match Mama says
I take mine at lunch. Pill swallowing has never bothered me, but I know it does bother many. I just pop ’em in and swallow. I don’t know if you’ve noticed or not, but the capsules are smaller now than they were a year ago.
Bailey Morris says
Random tip, but the tilt of your head matters!! If you’re taking supplements (typically capsules that float on top of water, take a sip of water, put in the capsule, and tuck your chin DOWN. It’s the opposite of what we naturally do, but it works because you’re not fighting the “float.”
Pills (like firm, hard ones) you can tilt your head up like you probably naturally do.
Lori R says
I love all your favorite Bible verses!
Sarah DeWald says

Tara I says
I love that you included Bible verses🙏❤️
samantha brooks carroll says
Yes! Thank you for the verses! One spoke particularly to me about a situation in my life…I DO SO love Jeremiah 29! But God knew others would need these verses today which is why you posted them! I just got off the phone with a dear friend who is going through something hard and I immediately sent her several of these. It’s amazing how God works through people exactly when they need HIM the most.
Mix and Match Mama says
Wow! That just gives me goosebumps. The Lord is at work in all of us. Amazing. xx
Gail Young says
I put your Bible verses into my Pinterest section of ‘Favorites’ , so I will see them on a regular basis. So uplifting and a good reminder at any time of day! Thank you for sharing that part of your life with all of us.
Amy Owens says
Love all the Bible verses , thank you! And 7 and 8 – no chipotle for dinner and I thought you said you didn’t have homework…had me laughing. I guess teenagers are the same everywhere!
Lee Ann Vicary says
Your comments to your kiddos were so much nicer than the ones I said to my daughter and two step sons when they were all teenagers. 1. Nope, I’m not cooking and we are not eating out – I’m going to let you all starve. (yes one of the above mentioned was happening, no they didn’t starve) 2. That’s what I’m cooking or that’s where we are going. 3. Anytime you want to meal plan and grocery shop for it (back before delivery existed) please feel free to be in charge of it. 4. In response to – When can I make my own decisions about my life? When you can afford to buy your own toilet paper and everything else required to keep you alive. – This was the boys when they where in college and didn’t want to do lunch with grandparents on their mother or fathers side. I followed up with and I hope by then you will be a nicer person and realize how important spending time with them is compared to sleeping in through church and lunch.
I clenched my jaws and bit my tongue a lot through those years. My daughter came around much quicker than they boys but eventually everyone lived.
Mix and Match Mama says
Your last sentence…love!
Sonya Derczo says
Love the Bible verses! I needed to read those today. And I’m already over planning what’s for dinner as I sit here wondering what I can throw together since I didn’t plan for a crockpot meal this am.
Natasha says
My kids are on the schedule to make dinner one night a week. They pick it, put the ingredients on the grocery list, and make it. It’s cut down A TON on their complaining when I cook. And I’ve also learned to bite my tongue (no matter what they make or how it tastes) and say, “Thank you!” We’re all learning valuable lessons! Hahaha!!!
Karen Lindstrom says
Thank you for the Bible verses🩷
Kathleen Lewis says
Thank you for the Bible versus. Going through a rough diagnosis and Isaiah 41:10 brought me strength and comfort. You are a blessing 💕
Mix and Match Mama says
I am so sorry, Kathleen. I am going to pray for you right now. xx
Amy says
I have a question about the Nutrafol. I can’t help but think others may have the same experience but no one talks about it if so. Did it mess your stomach up? As in, I don’t think I can leave the house today 😂. I bought 3 months supply and had this issue. I tried backing off of the dose, stopped and restarted – nothing worked. I “gifted” it to my sister and she had the same problem. Is it just us??
Mix and Match Mama says
It did not, but I’m glad you brought it up in case someone else can speak to it. Perhaps it was the time of day you were taking them? For me, I almost exclusively take supplements at lunch with a meal just to avoid nausea.
Bren says
Your verses came at such a fitting time as our community is deep in prayer for some we have in great need. I know what you have shared will bring comfort to so many. Thank you, Shay.
Tish says
Thank you for sharing these verses. Perfect timing as always. God is so good!
Hair question – do you still wash every other day? Still wash at night and sleep on it wet? Also, with it being longer, do you sleep with it down at night or put up somehow?
Mix and Match Mama says
I do! I *typically* wash it at night and sleep on it wet (last night I did1), but occasionally, I wash it early in the AM and let it air dry or I pull out the hairdryer.
Debra says
Love the sayings to the kids, especially the ones about “I thought you said you didn’t have homework” and “no, we cannot have chipotle for dinner”. So relatable!
Sarah G says
The verses were a blessing to see today. Thank you for sharing those in a perfectly timed way. The Lord at work. ❤️
Kim says
Thank you for the bible verses! Found a great devotional thought I would share. Creating refuge the experience. By Gayla Miller. It’s so sweet and encouraging.
Debbie Hibbert says
Sorry to be responding a day late …
Thank you for posting the Bible verses, very timely!
Alana says
A random comment but your gym picture made me think of it.. I have not been motivated to keep up with my workouts during pregnancy. First trimester I was too exhausted. Then we were moving so I didn’t have much spare time. I finally got back into doing it and it’s been amazing! But it’s crazy how different simple movements feel now compared to before!
Mix and Match Mama says
Congratulations to YOU! You do what feels good to YOU when you’re pregnant. If that’s sit around and watch TV, then do it. If it’s go to the gym, then do it. You’re growing a human! That is HARD work!
Alana says
Haha yes, amen to that. Although I do have gestational diabetes so I either have to eat ultra healthy or walk after meals (or both!) Thank you for your support & encouragement, you are a bright light for me daily 💛
