What's Your Plan for . . . ?

-
This post was sponsored by Instagrad. It contains my honest opinions of this service.

 Someone asked me yesterday how in the world I anticipate paying for three children to go to college . .  . and I realized, I don't have a plan for that.

 I guess I assumed over time our finances would eventually grow to the point that we could pay a significant chunk. And then there's scholarships and if needed student loans. But I don't have any savings plan.

 But I was introduced to Instagrad recently and realized there was an easier way to purposely save for their college education.
Girl Saving for College

Accelerate your child’s college savings!

Find money . . . it could be hiding in your garage or attic! As parents, we frequently get tired of our kids receiving the same gifts over and over again. Instead of another toy or an outfit your child won't ever wear, you can use Instagrad as your personal fundraiser to help you accrue funds for their college. 

 They even have carefully crafted fundraising campaigns for special dates. You can connect your child’s profile with friends and family, enable the campaigns you like, then sit back and watch your savings grow!

    What a great idea!! Since we're living on a tight budget, and who knows what the state of college grants and loans will be in 15 years, we need all the help we can get in order to save for my son's college. Not to mention the fact that I plan on going back to school myself!

    My mom actually opened a special account when my son was born, and instead of buying gifts that he'll outgrow, like toys and clothes, she contributes money to that account for his college fund. How nice it will be when he finishes high school and already has his own money to pay for college!

    I think that more people should be doing this, especially with a website like this that makes it so easy!

GIVEAWAY: Practical Designs’ Shopping Cart Covers

-
Image
With my first two boys we used a couple of different shopping cart/restaurant high chair covers – one was handmade by a family member and the other was store bought. Neither worked well. Maybe my ability to juggle baby, cover and seat is lacking, but I was never successful at getting the seat on, the baby in and everyone settled without something going wrong. Then the handmade one practically shredded in the washing machine and the store bought ended up sold in a consignment sale. So, I knew that we would be starting over with Weston and I really wanted one that had elastic all the way around so it fit whatever seat you put it on and had its own belt so that you don’t have to run the yucky one from the cart or high chair through the seat and around the baby. At Practical Designs I found the perfect solution. There is a reason that this shop has 100% positive feedback after over 100 reviews. Practical Designs sent me the Retro Dot Cover , seen below.

Exciting Giveaway - $25 Gift Certificate

I’m excited to tell you about our latest giveaway. Lately there have been some great deals from a new deal site from adpages.com. I’ve recently decided to partner with Adpages and bring you some more INCREDIBLE opportunities. The first step was trying out their services. So I used a credit to purchase their Clix! portrait deal . I was able to get a potrait sitting and a disk with 5 images on it for just $49. I have to admit that this is definitely my preferred way of getting pictures as prints can be VERY inexpensively made on the Internet but frequently cost an arm and a leg from the photographer directly. Besides, in our family the grandparents are generally the ones who purchase the pictures and so it doesn’t work for me to have to pick and pay at the time of the sitting. Weston just turned 6 months old and he is absolutely precious. I wanted to make sure we got a good glimpse of his personality in these pictures. I think Clix! did just that . . . I'm telling you -
