10 Things I Love

Leah from Happily Herring tagged me a few weeks ago in 10 Things I Love so I thought now would be a good time to do it! Go check out Leah…she is a super cute newlywed and always has something fun on her blog!
Okay so 10 Things I love…
1. Animals….all kinds really. Obviously if you read my blog you know I have a soft spot for all things fuzzy and lovable.

2. Monograms. Who doesn’t love a good monogram? I want to start collecting these “R” letter presses. I have yet to find any that are a good size….but some day!
3. My iphone. I heart my iphone big time…what did I do before it?

4. Red Velvet Cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. There are no words for how awesome this cheesecake is. Trust me. I want a piece right now!!!

5. Reading. I love to read and always have a book in my purse. Right now I’m reading Uglies by Scott Westerfeld. So far so good.

6. Mason Jars. I have a pretty good collection of vintage mason jars that I just love. I love the idea of sipping lemonade on a hot day in a pretty mason jar.

7. Singing off key in the car. Yeah…I can’t sing. But that doesn’t stop me!

8. Organizing. I love love love to organize stuff….my desk, my closet, you name it. This weekend I need to work on a house decorating folder to keep all of my decor ideas and paint samples for each room in our house. And I’m totally excited about it!

 9. When my kitchen is stocked with food and all the laundry is done. Isn’t that the best feeling in the world? This usually only happens Sunday nights in our house, but I love it.

10. Chunky Necklaces. Let’s be real…any necklaces. I think I wear a necklace at least 6 days per week. I’m sort of obsessed….I get that from my mother. Right now I’m obsessing over this Stella and Dot Colette Necklace.

    I love chunky necklaces! I have too many, I'm sure–but, they are just such a fun way to dress up an otherwise plain outfit, ya know?

It really is true when they say the days are long It really is true when they say the days are long but the years are short. One day I’m struggling to carry two babies at a time while wrangling a toddler and then next minute they are all off to school and practices and friends’ houses. With all three kids in school we’ve been thinking a lot about their futures and how we are going to one day pay for college. We set up a Michigan Education Trust 529 plan for each of our kids when they were babies and I am SO happy we did! With a MET account, we can pay for future college tuition at today’s prices. With MET’s discounted age-based pricing the earlier you start, the more you are able to save! Plus grandparents and other loved ones can contribute to my kids’ accounts too! With MET you get back what you put in if your child chooses a different path and the money goes with you if your child goes to school out of state. You can even transfer it to immediate family members and all contributions to MET plans are tax deductible! To learn more about how to set up a MET account and the benefits of starting your child’s account early, check out my stories or the link in my bio. @mieducationtrust #sponsored #SETwithMET #MI529 #collegesavings #METSept2023
