I’ve got nothing….

Today I was supposed to show you all our newly decorated guest room…..but it’s not quite done yet. My plan is to work on it tonight and Monday so that I can post about it Tuesday. I would work on it over the weekend but I am leaving for a business trip tomorrow! Oh well.

If you recall, a while back I blogged about decorating our guest room in gray and yellow….and that’s exactly what we did! Even though it isn’t finished it looks awesome! I really need some cute pillows for the bed. So far the bedding is all white with one yellow and white pillow. I found some really cute options on Etsy. If you have never heard of Etsy you should check it out! It’s awesome!
I am in love with this LOVE pillow. It would be perfect for the room…..but I think I can actually re-create one myself, so I’m not buying it.
What about this Gray Dot Ruffles pillow. I love polka dots. And I love ruffles. But is it too girly for a guest room?

 This Yellow Ruffles pillow is adorable too.

I really like this yellow zig zag pillow. I think it’s less girly….but I can’t decide. 
And I am dying over this California pillow! But at $52 it’s a little out of my budget. Mom, can you make this for me?????
And there is a Michigan pillow too!
So which pillows do you like?

    Not gonna lie… that Michigan pillow is a little weird. Kinda looks like it has a tumor. Sorry northern neighbors!

    I do love the yellow ruffle pillow though! So cute!

    I love all your pillows, but especially the top 4!! Ruffles are not too much for a guest bedroom!

    LOVE yellow and gray together… can't wait to see your room!

    I like the Michigan pillow too…….the mitten part that is, the UP looks a bit odd! Anyway, Julie, we must make pillows!

    Love them all. State pillows and the love are a must. Also really enjoy the zig zag and polka dots. I think the polka pots are fine for a quest room. Can't wait to see the room!!!!

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
