On Tax Advice & Financial Planning

Since today is a very important day in the tax world

(it's the day my mom files her annual extension),

I thought it was only appropriate that Blake wears this shirt.

Jeff and I are both CPA's *

so when we decided to have three kids,

it was really all about effective tax planning.

I mean don't get me wrong...

the memories and experience of raising

three boys is exciting and fun and stressful and crazy,

but the important thing is we now have

one. Two. THREE! extra exemptions.**

And, if you think it is a coincidence that all three kids were 

born in the last quarter of the year, 

you are severely underestimating Jeff's planning and budgeting skills.

 But do you want to know what's even funnier than this shirt?

The fact that it annoys Jeff because it says "tax deduction"

when EVERYONE KNOWS kids are actually an EXEMPTION!

Ugh. If I've said it once, I've said it a hundred times:

these clothing manufacturers really need to read up on their tax lingo.

*Please don't ask me a tax question. I am much better equipped

 to tell you important information like the final four girls on the Bachelor...

or why Renee Zellwegger and Bradley Cooper called it quits.

In fact, I just watched a one hour special about the upcoming wedding between

William and Kate, so if you want to talk about Royal Wedding cakes, give me a call.

**Obviously, I am kidding. We didn't have these kids just for the exemptions.

Eventually they will mow the yard and take out the trash too.
