26 Weeks

26 Weeks

How far along? 26 weeks. Baby is the size of a head of lettuce.  Maternity clothes? Still yes and no. Stretch marks? Not yet.  Sleep: All I really want to do is sleep on my stomach, which is now impossible. Otherwise I'm still sleeping okay. Best moment this week:  Working on baby's nursery and finally ... Read More

Baby’s Dresser….and Nursery Updates

Baby’s Dresser….and Nursery Updates

We finally finished baby boy's dresser! We LOVE how it turned out! It's actually a darker red in person. The husband used this dresser before we were married. It originally belonged to his grandparents....so it's old! We didn't know if we could salvage it but thought it was worth a try! The husband sanded, painted, replaced the hardware, ... Read More

Canoes and Cobbler

Canoes and Cobbler

How did the weekend go by so fast? Can it be Friday again please? We spent the weekend up at my mom's lake house. It was very relaxing and the weather was absolutely perfect! And of course we ate way too much yummy food...including some steaks the husband grilled for lunch.   Wrigley went on a canoe ride with us....he loves being out on ... Read More

Wrigley is Three!

Wrigley is Three!

I can't believe Wrigley is three years old today! He was so worn out this morning from a fun weekend at the lake.... I couldn't even get him up to eat his birthday breakfast. It seems like yesterday he was just a little fluff ball. My little guy is growing up! Wrigley got to go swimming in the lake, went on a canoe ride, and got a new ... Read More

25 Weeks

25 Weeks

How far along? 25 weeks. Baby has hair color! If we could see it that is. My guess is that it will be blonde....if our baby even has hair. So either blonde or bald! I doubt we'll have a redheaded baby unless the husband has some hidden red haired genes in his family that we don't know about. Maternity clothes? Yes and no. I bought some ... Read More

Much Better

Much Better

Remember my pathetic front door wreath from yesterday's post? Pretty bad right? That stupid wreath bugged me all day. Well, it's really been bugging me for a few months now...it was time for a change. No wreath at all would be better than a sad baggy wreath.  Luckily I was able to fix it in about 10 minutes. MUCH better right? I would ... Read More

Far from Perfect

Far from Perfect

Sometimes it seems like a blogger's life is perfect. Perfectly cooked meals, perfect hair, perfect outfit, and an always clean and tidy home. That's not real life. In an effort to keep it real around here, I want you to see that I am FAR from perfect....trust me.  That hair that you think always looks good? It doesn't. Especially this ... Read More

24 Weeks

24 Weeks

How far along? 24 weeks. Baby can hear me when I talk...and can also hear loud noises like sirens and Wrigley barking! Maternity clothes? Yes and no. I need maternity tops mostly for the length! I think it's time for a shopping spree.  Stretch marks? Not yet.  Sleep: Still sleeping like a rock and loving my ... Read More

Moms, Glucose, and 50 Shades

Moms, Glucose, and 50 Shades

Happy day after Mother's Day! We had a great weekend celebrating both of our moms. I don't know what I would do without my mom....she really is the best. I can't believe next year will be my first official mother's day......the day took on such a new meaning for me. The amount of love a mother has for her baby is beyond anything I could have ...

23 Weeks

23 Weeks

How far along? 23 weeks. Baby weighs over one pound. Maternity clothes? Yes and no. Most of my dresses and tops still fit...but some are getting a little short. I'm already tall so once you add a baby bump it gets harder to find something long enough for me!  Stretch marks? Not yet.  Sleep: Still sleeping like ... 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
