Needless to say, the door has been closed since then. Besides that one minor setback, things are going well! We have had many successful ... Read More

The Poop Project – Day 1

The Poop Project – Day 1

Day 1: As previously posted, my sweet chubby little kitty, Pancake, recently (er, well it has been a over a month actually) earned the nickname the Poop Monster. Anyway, unfortunately for me, he has not made much progress towards pooping in the litter box. Thus, I came up with the idea of the Poop Project. It basically involved me moving the litter ...

So when I got home from work, not only was there yummy soup waiting for me, but ... Read More

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
