New Chair…

New Chair…

The husband and I have been shopping around for a dining room table and chairs. We set a budget and it was beginning to look impossible. Until today. We found a great white and natural wood table for a great price at a local furniture store! We were so excited. They had chairs that matched but they were really expensive and we knew we could find a ... Read More

Pancake Tries to Help

Pancake Tries to Help

This weekend the husband spent a lot of time working the the yard raking leaves and mowing the lawn. It was a huge task because the lawn had not been mowed in a very long time. While he was working in the back yard, Pancake desperately wanted to help too! He alternated between crying, purring, and hissing at Jon. For some reason, Pancake got really ... Read More

My Husband

Guess who got offered a new job today??? My husband!!! As some of you know, my hubbie had a job that he was really unhappy in. Unhappy is actually an understatement. He had to take the old job so that when we got married we would be living in the same town....which was kind of necessary and all. But the job required him to get up every morning at ... Read More

Unpacking

Yes, I'm still alive. I would love to show you some pictures of our unpacked house...however, I don't have any...mostly because, well, no rooms are completely unpacked.

Movin’ On Up

On Saturday we made the big move in to the house! We had Mo, Cags, Chris, and Erin helping us out. Thanks guys! The poor husband was really sick, but he was a trooper and worked hard any way. So far I have unpacked the kitchen and am starting to work on the bathroom and bedroom. (Of course the first thing the boys did was hook up tv, cable, and ... 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
