Baby’s First Easter Basket

Today I’m linking up with Stephanie and Katie for Saw it, Pinned it, Did it and showing off Hudson’s first Easter basket! I had way too much fun putting this together. I’ve been working on it for a while and also pinned Emily’s basket ideas to use as an inspiration.

Needless to say my planning paid off…Hudson loved the “sneak peak” of his basket!

My mom gifted Hudson with this basket from Pottery Barn Kids. He will put it to good use year after year!

I filled it with all sorts of goodies, including some books, bubbles, stuffed bunny, bunny sippy cup, socks, bunny ears, and an “it’s awesome time” shirt from The Printed Palette. (LOVE!)

Cute animal eggs from Target. Love them!

I got this bunny when I was pregnant with Hudson and saved it knowing it would be perfect for his first Easter. I added a bow tie from the dollar spot at Target.

And yes…the basket is bigger than he is! He will thank me one day when it’s time to hunt eggs!

    What an adorable basket! Is that a PBK bunny I spy? My Avery got one last year and she still carries it around everywhere and calls it "bun bun". Precious, glad Hudson loved his sneak peak.

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
