What I’ve been up to lately

I’m sorry I’ve been sort of boring on this little blog lately. It’s just that not much has been going on. And also blogger was being a pain yesterday and wouldn’t let me post any comments on other blogs. Hopefully it’s fixed today. I love reading comments from readers and know other bloggers do too!
Lately I’ve been obsessed with Pinterest. For those of you who don’t know, Pinterest is a place where you can pin photos of all kinds of stuff: food, fashion, home decor, decorating ideas etc. I could spend SO much time looking though everyone’s pins! Find me on Pinterest HERE….and follow me! Oh and if anyone wants to buy me a mason jar drink dispenser I’ll love you forever.

In other news, we learned this week that Wrigley suffers from spring-time allergies. And because of said allergies he has a skin infection on his left ear. Which means no swimming for two weeks! My poor little guy LOVES to swim, so I feel really bad for him. Especially because we are going up to the lake this weekend. Poor guy will have to just enjoy riding along in the boat instead! He’s also on a medication that makes him have to go to the bathroom frequently….which means 1:30 a.m. wake up calls for me and coming home on my lunch break to let him out. It’s only for two weeks, so it’s not that big a deal…and I can already tell that he feels so much better.

 And now for another random topic…is anyone watching The Real Housewives of New Jersey? Please tell me I’m not the only one obsessed with their crazy drama. I can’t get over Teresa and her obnoxious behavior, and I sort of feel bad for Melissa having to deal with her all the time. But the only one I really like is Caroline…she seems to have her act together. Even though I think they’re all crazy I just can’t seem to get enough!

I think that’s all I’ve got for today…I promise I’ll be more exciting soon!

Happy Birthday Wrigley! »

    Aww poor Wrigley (and you for having to make those 1:30am wake up calls – yuck)! But I'm glad you all found out what it was and are getting it treated so he can be back to his water-loving-self, soon! That picture is too cute!

    That mason jar drink dispenser is so you! I also LOVE real housewives of NJ! I can't believe what went down last week at the baptism. I mean how can they act like that, they are brother and sister! Hope you guys have a great time on the boat this memorial weekend.

    Oh, and I was definitely eyeing that mason jar dispenser yesterday. I was looking for beverage dispensers for my friend's bridal shower, but the price was a little too steep!

    Love Wrigley! We took our bigger pup swimming for the first time yesterday and he loved it! He is a natural. Does Wrigley swim in the lake or somewhere more shallow?

    I Love the pinterest website! Awesome! And yes, I am also a RHONJ fan.. It's pathetic that grown adults can't act like it at a CHRISTENING!

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
