5 ways in which I don’t have it all together

5 ways in which I don’t have it all together

1. I spent Saturday night in tears over my blog domain registration. I waited until the very last minute (as usual) to renew it and couldn't remember my stupid google apps login and password. Because I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW I HAD GOOGLE APPS. And everything might has well have been written in ancient Greek because who UNDERSTANDS GOOGLE TECH SPEAK? ... Read More

Let it Go

Let it Go

I finally got a chance to see Frozen....and let me just say....it was AMAZING. I was singing "Let it Go" before I even saw the film...and now it's on my brain all the time. It's such a good message for not only little girls but big girls like me too. It's not about being perfect, it's about accepting who you are and loving your family fiercely. ... Read More

The Breastfeeding Diaries: Ali from Ali Damron

The Breastfeeding Diaries: Ali from Ali Damron

Any new mom knows that breastfeeding can be a little bit daunting. When I was pregnant, it was something I didn’t really worry about. I thought it was a natural process that my body would just know how to do it. While that is true, there is also lots more to know about it. Once I gave birth to Aiden, the frenzy began! I realized that I had ... 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
