One on One Time Amongst the Chaos

Every day amongst the chaos of being a full time Mom to three littles and a full time blogger (let alone wife, daughter, friend…you get the drill) I always try to find some time to spend one-on-one time with each of my kids. Thankfully my mom rocks and is frequently up for taking the big kids on an adventure. Belle loves watching Hudson and Sadie play and mess around and recognizes when her siblings are gone. She gets excited to have mama all to herself! And I get excited to spend some snuggle time with my sweet little lady.
Belle loves her some undivided mama time. Sometimes I take it for granted or get way too wrapped up in my latest project or work, so every day these few minutes I get just the two of us are a good reminder of what’s really important.
Spending time with Belle and snuggling her makes me feel important, wanted and best of all, loved. And I know she feels the same way. She’s the sweetest and my favorite….but don’t tell my other kids I said that!
Hanging out with this girl is my most favorite. I often get a baby sitter (my mom or my in-laws!) to watch the big kids so I can run to the grocery store or get some things done without having to wrangle three kids. Running errands with just this gal is a breeze…so she’s my constant companion. And I’m not complaining!
Belle is snuggled up with her new swaddle blanket by Baby K’tan. It is made of an innovative breathable stretchy fabric so that it’s light and cool for baby.
The Baby K’tan Newborn Swaddle & Toddler blanket provides continuous airflow so Belle doesn’t overheat while sleeping, which is a must have, especially during the warm summer months! As your little one grows, the swaddle can be used as the perfect sized toddler blanket, nursing cover and so much more. I like to keep one in my bag when we are running errands. It’s great to put on Belle when we are at the store and the AC is turned up super high. I also like to use it as a nursing cover during those quick feeds in the car between stops. We love these blankets so much!
You can find Baby K’tan Newborn Swaddle & Toddler blankets on Amazon. You get two in a pack so you always have one when you need it!

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
