Oh Hey Friday

Happy Friday my friends! 

{one} I took Hudson out on a “date” this week to Build-A-Bear….I was worried it was going to be a disaster and that maybe I was taking him there more for me than for him (which was kind of true). But he LOVED it and had so much fun building his puppy. And he’s still talking about it, so I’m quietly patting myself on the back for coming up with a pregnancy-friendly activity for us to do!


{two} These babies are on sale and calling my name….wouldn’t they be so cute for summer?

{three} We are officially on baby watch….even though we still have 3 more weeks and I’m not having contractions or anything. I’ve told my family to have their phones on and be ready to go…..I guess that means I should pack my bag too? I can’t even remember what I packed last time, but I know I brought way to much stuff. I still need some more of these nursing tanks because I basically lived in them last time! 

{four} I’ve been craving chinese chicken salad like crazy! I think I’ve had this exact meal at least 4 times this week…..so so so good. 



{five} There’s still time to make your Norwex order! Details here…..trust me, you don’t want to miss out on these fabulous products. 
And now the link ups….

    That Hudson? Well he is just too cute. Love his adorable little face! And good job on coming up with a fun activity to do together, Mama! I've been wondering if Caleb would be old enough for Build A Bear. Maybe we'll try it:)

    We totally took Scarlett to build a bear after my ultrasound this week and she loved it but I think I loved it more… I mean how cute is it?! I am loving converse, I bought my first pair a month or so ago and I live in them, I've also been eyeing up the ones you linked 😉

    I can't believe you're on baby watch!! How exciting! 🙂 Good luck with everything, will be thinking of you and I can't wait to hear the news!!!

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
