It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas…..

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas…..

As promised...our Christmas tree!  This is after it fell....3 times. We learned that a new sturdy tree stand makes a world of difference! After Thanksgiving dinner my in-laws gave me two of these adorable old fashioned berry crates. The other one is a little bit larger. Oh how I LOVE them! My in-laws know me so well. I'm so excited to come up ... Read More

Post Thanksgiving Wrap-Up

I love long weekends...but why is it they seem to go by so fast? A five day work week does NOT sound fun right now. Anyway, I hope you had an enjoyable Thanksgiving! We went to the husband's parents house and feasted on turkey and tons of side dishes. For me, it's all about the sides so I was lovin' it! I did not participate in Black Friday. Part ... Read More

To Black Friday or Not To Black Friday?

To Black Friday or Not To Black Friday?

Do you go shopping on Black Friday? I'm usually more of a day-after-Christmas shopper myself. Black Friday is typically reserved for picking out our Christmas tree, drinking hot chocolate, and decorating the house. But this year I'm not so sure. I keep hearing about the amazing deals people find on Black Friday. And I really need  a new ... Read More

The Guest Room…..Before and After

The Guest Room…..Before and After

Well, I've finally finished the guest room! It still isn't perfect and needs some more accessories, but I thought I'd share it with you anyway! Here is the guest room before the make over. Plain beige walls and basically no decor. And here it is after! We painted the walls Behr's Premium Plus Ultra in Cathedral Grey...and I love it! The grey ... Read More

Christmas Card Lovin’

Christmas Card Lovin’

I love Christmas cards. I love to see what everyone is up to, how their kids have grown, or lives have changed over the year. I like to make a little collage so I can display all the cards we get each year. Some of the fun of receiving Christmas cards is looking at all the beautiful designs! There seem to be so many creative options available these ... 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
