People commonly believe the "myths" that they hear about signing up for Florida PrePaid. These are myths...

MYTH: Florida PrePaid is restricted to Florida Schools.  FACT: It isn't restricted to Florida schools; the amount covered by your Prepaid Plan can be used at schools nationwide.

MYTH: Florida Prepaid can only be used if my child remains a Florida resident.  FACT: If the beneficiary moves out of Florida after purchasing a Prepaid Plan, your child would still be billed at in-state tuition rates when using their plan at a Florida college or state university.

MYTH: If my child doesn't go to college, I lose all the money.  FACT: If your child doesn't go to college, you can change the beneficiary of the Prepaid Plan or get your money back.

There is no reason not to do this.  Don't let your child start their future in debt.  This is a simple and economical way to ensure that your child can get to college.


Florida PrePaid will be hosting a webinar on 2/20.  Stand by for more details. This will be a great time to get all of the information you need and they will be able to answer any questions that you have!

My Son Will go to College thanks to Florida Prepaid #ad #startingisbelieving

Florida PrePaid is the piece of mind that I needed to ensure that my son would be a college graduate.

As a parent, there are some many things for us to worry about. It's time to take one of those worries away.  Florida Prepaid will make it easier to do that. It will give you piece of mind.

In 2005, I was going through a divorce, and it wasn't too pleasant.  I knew that my life was going to change dramatically going from a two income home to a one income home (and on a teacher's salary.)  As we went through this gut-wrenching process of selling our house, and paying debts, I realized that there would be some extra money left over.

Knowing that I would never not struggle as a teacher, I worried about our future. What would happen when my then two-year old was ready to attend college? I spoke to my lawyer about signing my son Bryce up for a Florida Prepaid College Plan.  Thankfully it was agreed on and we bought a plan for Bryce.  We were lucky enough to have enough money that we didn't need to make payments on it.

There is another way to get a Florida Prepaid Plan for your family. Right now Open Enrollment is goign on.  This is the only time each year families can purchase Prepaid Plans and this year prices remain affordable for Florida families.The open enrollment period continues til Feb 28th. This year there are different plans that can fit within any budget!

Jumping with friends at AirHeads!

Want to keep your kids moving and away from the TV? My son loves going to AirHeads Trampoline Arena! You can find them in Tampa and Largo, Florida. There is so much to do there. Last week I took my son and my nephew. We got there early, and it was great. There were barely any people there at opening, and that allowed the boys to play any video game they wanted in the arcade without having to wait. Then they went into the trampoline area and did some serious jumping. They worked on their flips, shot basketballs, climbed the walls and even played dodgeball!

It was a lot of fun. My nephew is 13 and had a blast. He is not the most daring kid, but he did enjoy jumping and climbing walls. At one point I got concerned for my safety because I think they planned on hitting me with the balls during dodgeball. 

Bryce, my 9 year old,  told me that they couldn't leave until he mastered the flip. In this picture you can see that he ALMOST had it but fell back. I told him that this was good enough.

We are excited to be heading back to AirHeads soon for a play date with a group of friends! AirHeads also has fitness classes. I have not tried them yet, but many friends have and rave about the workout they got! 

How do you keep your kids active in the summer and on weekend?
