Weekly Roundup: Financial Aid Considerations, Crescent Roll Nests + Weekly Menu Plan

Happy spring! I feel like this week's roundup is extra random and wide-ranging, but I think you could say that about my whole life right now. 😂 I just finished an audio book about language* and started a new one about trees,* I'm working on a financial aid presentation for parents of elementary school students, baseball season starts this week, I'm trying to find a new foundation, and I just asked my eye doctor to squeeze me in because I think my vision has changed again. Whew! I think I'm going to go make some crescent roll nests and have some fun. Have a great week! (I've marked affiliate/referral links with a *, which means I may make a little bit of money if you make a purchase or sign up using that link - thank you!)

Things to consider for parents and students as the Department of Education is dismantled.

Some things to know if your child is Asian-American and wants to attend a competitive college.

Be careful when you renew your California driver's license if you want to have a Real ID.

Practical reasons not to get an EV. (I'd get range anxiety for sure.)

How to make crescent roll nests.

I just learned that most can lights are adjustable so you can make the light warmer or cooler.

Please let me know if there's something you'd like to see in the roundup. And don't forget to sign up for my monthly periodic email newsletter! (I'm sending one out before the end of this month!)
