It’s become quite clear to me that my kids, especially my oldest daughter, have developed entrepreneurial spirits. They become super excited by just the thought of setting up lemonade stands, preparing for yard sales, selling their old belongings and even extra (not-so-fun) chores they can earn money for. There are huge benefits to getting kids thinking of ways to creatively earn money, even at ...
Facebook Money Making Scams to Avoid
I wasn’t sure what to title this post. Common Facebook money making scams/schemes? Random money making “opportunities” from Facebook? Stuff not to do? The truth is there are a TON of scammy money making posts on Facebook. I see them all the time – especially on yard sale and rummage sale groups. There are also an equal number of posts for multi-level marketing companies which aren’t exactly ...
[Time Sensitive] Work at Home Summit Starts Soon!
My work from home journey started in 2012. I needed to find a way to support myself and two daughters and since I live in a small town with no decent jobs it was pretty much my only option.

In May of 2017 I gave birth to my third daughter and actually had the opportunity to stay home with my baby – something I really wanted to do with my first two. It’s been ...
It’s Not You, It’s Them. (And Why You’re Not Getting Freelance Clients)
If you’re wanting to start an online business or earn extra money on the side of your day job, freelancing is and will always be my number one recommendation. There’s just no faster way (that I know of, anyway) to make decent money. And on top of that you can offer anything you’re good at as a service. (Just as long as it’s legal, of course!) (If you have no idea what type of service you ...
Kroger ClickList Review: The Savior of My Grocery Budget
Over the past several months my grocery budget has gotten pretty out of control. It started out innocently enough. When I had the baby in May I stopped doing the grocery shopping. It was much easier to send my husband than to pack up the baby and take her. Especially since she only wants me…all of the time. (I once tried leaving her with her father while I took my oldest to cheerleading ...
