I’m Back!

So, I’m finally back from my trip to California. I had a great time catching up with old friends and seeing my family (oh, and working too). I’ll post some pictures of my trip this week. Meanwhile, enjoy these pictures of Pancake and Henry hunting a lady bug that got into the house.


I think their plan was to just stare it to death.

    Welcome Home! I know you were missed. Can't wait to see pics of your week in CA. That is sure one entertaining bug. Did it survive?

    You know I've never been a cat lover….but you and your mom always did and do have the cutest little cats! It must be a reflection of how well they are loved! 🙂

I’m Back!

Did you miss me? My mom has been visiting which means I’ve been too busy to blog…and since she has been with me she hasn’t bugged me about updating the blog! Sadly, she left this morning. It was great having her here…so much got done! My mom makes things happen! We had a great time and I was sad to see her go. I’ll be posting pictures soon of our adventures and updates we did to the house! Stay tuned!

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
