Getting Back to a Routine

Getting Back to a Routine

October 25, 2021

I enjoy reading the questions and answers when other bloggers post the “ask me a question” on Instagram. I try to do it myself now and then.

Tell Me Something Kind You Did Today

The years have absolutely flown by, just as everyone told me they would. It’s incredible to look at your child the day they are born, nothing  like it in the world. But it’s also really… Read More

October 26, 2018

I have never shared tips on college savings on this blog because it’s not an area I have ever felt like an expert in. I was always on the hunt for tips myself and never quite felt like I had a good handle on a “plan”. My plan has been: read things online and then bother my brother (who is… Read More
