Christmas at Our House!

Christmas at Our House!

I grew up always waking up in my own bed Christmas morning...and then quickly running down the stairs to tear open my presents.

Win it! A trip to see Garth Brooks and celebrate being a mom!

 Being a mom to my precious by (and baby on the way) is by far my greatest gift this Christmas season. I'm thankful for the little ways Hudson blesses me each day. His smiles, his giggles, his shouts of "my mommy! my mommy! my mommy!" when he sees me each morning. All the hard stuff about being a mom seams to disappear when I hear those words. ... 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
