5 Things Every Mom Needs in Her Bag Right Now

If you are anything like me, then you are constantly in a rush to go from activity to activity with your kids. Even if it's just errands....whenever your kids are with you things take about 10 times longer. And things get about 10 times crazier.  This girl has been so sweet and fun lately....I've been in the 3-4 year old trenches so much ... Read More

Do All the Fall Things

Do All the Fall Things

Yesterday we kicked off the start of fall with a bang. It's officially my most favorite season and we don't want to miss a minute of it. I feel like our summer was pretty much a bust because I was feeling so terrible. But now I'm better and ready to do ALL THE FALL THINGS! We wore our rain boots for the first time this week! And I realized ... Read More

I'm just going to come right out and say it. Breastfeeding while pregnant sucks. It sucks a big one. Literally. Maybe you saw this post and thought, oh, Julie's going to write about how much she loves breastfeeding again. And don't get me wrong. I do love breastfeeding. It's been one of the most amazing experiences of my life. But I do NOT love ... Read More

Helping Your Second Child Go with the Flow

Helping Your Second Child Go with the Flow

Second children.....they sometimes get the short end of the stick. When Hudson was one, our lives revolved around his schedule. And they still do! We were always home at nap time, ate meals at the same time, and never skipped a bath. But once you have that second child all of that goes out the window. Your second child has to play by the rules of ... Read More

FOUR

FOUR

My sweet boy is FOUR today! FOUR. I can't believe it.  Hudson is sweet, spunky, crazy, thoughtful, kind, hyper, and all kinds of greatness wrapped up in a little red-headed body. We couldn't be prouder of the little boy he's become.  For his birthday we gave him the choice of either a party with all his friends or a special ... 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
