Bedroom Window

Bedroom Window

We have this awkward sized window above the bed in our bedroom. It helps keep our room bright and sunny....which is great but not if you are trying to sleep past 7 a.m! So...what to do? I couldn't find anything to cover it up that was the right size, so I had to get a little creative....Here it is before...And here it is now. Somehow the curtain ... Read More

New Deck!

New Deck!

When the husband and I moved in to our house we knew we would have to do some work to make it more our style. One of the items on our list was a new deck. Here is what our deck looked like. Small, and no stairs! Such a pain, especially when you have a dog. We decided this winter that when spring came around we would look in to adding stairs. We ... Read More

Chasing down taxis with my mom…

As you know, I recently took a trip to California for work. And since I am originally from Southern California, I got to spend some time at home with my mom. Whenever we are together funny things happen to us. One day we went to an outdoor shopping center to...well, shop of course! When we were walking to our car a taxi van pulled up and asked us ...

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
