You are a beautiful person

You are a beautiful person

We got this anonymous note in our mailbox the other day. Apparently someone thinks that one of us is a beautiful person. Aww, thank you! The husband found the note and it took me all night to convince him that it wasn't from me. First of all, the handwriting is nothing like mine. Second, why would I tell him he was beautiful? Wouldn't I say ... Read More

House Decorating Goals for 2011

House Decorating Goals for 2011

I've been thinking about goals (I mean, who hasn't?) for 2011. More specifically I feel like there are a lot of things I would like to do to our house to make it more "us"....or maybe since the husband doesn't care about decorating, more "me". I'm hoping that if I write it down here I'll actually do all of these things. 1. Paint our front door red. ... 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
