Random thoughts on Thursday…

Are you excited for the Royal Wedding tomorrow? I sure am! Now I know I won't be getting up at 4:00 a.m. to watch it, but I will probably record it and watch it later. It is history after all, right? All of the media attention has started to get annoying...especially when they flip out over Kate being seen with her hair up...."does this ... Read More

What’s in the bag Wrigley?

What’s in the bag Wrigley?

When your husband is stuck at home with a horrible cold/cough all weekend you decide to stay home with him. You take care of him, make him tea, watch movies, heat up soup, and pick up prescriptions and cold medicine. You know what also happens? You get a little bored. So out of boredom you take way too many photos of your pets. And then decide that ... Read More

I hope you all enjoyed your Easter Sunday! We celebrated the day with my in-laws and sister-in-law and had a wonderful time. And I totally forgot to take any pictures....but couldn't resist posting Wrigley in his bunny attire. Oh I did actually manage to take one photo of the yummy red jello salad that I made....after we all devoured ...

The ridiculousness has reached a whole new level

Please watch this commercial. I saw it on TV last night and had to rewind it twice. If someone proposed to me with a fluffy white kitten I guarantee I would say yes. But if you transform a room in your house to be a "cat room" I might just change my mind.  ... Read More

Chicken pox will be the death of me….

Sorry I've been a bad blogger lately. With the weather being crummy and the husband sick, I just haven't had anything exciting to write about. So let's talk about the time I passed out in the doctor's office, okay? It all starts with the chicken pox. I am one of those "lucky" people who have never had the awful pox. My mom tried to expose ... Read More

But I thought it was Spring…

But I thought it was Spring…

This is what greeted me this morning as I looked out my front door. Um, excuse me, isn't is Spring???? Why is it snowing??? It was even worse when I left for work this morning. It was so warm last weekend, and now this? So not fair. Please remind me why I live in Michigan. In other news, we did absolutely nothing this weekend. The husband was ... 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
