The month of June is coming to an end. I fell short on my online income goal but the good new is I am picking up momentum and still have a few jobs to carry me into the first couple weeks of July. All in all, things are finally working out the way I had planned and I think I’ll be able to come close to my goals from here on out!
June Freelance Writing Income – $367 ( I am still working on some of the assignments I had gotten from job boards)
June Blog Income – $9.39
Awesome Posts From This Week
Here are just a few of the amazing posts I have been enjoying this week from other blogs.

Also, after I posted my normal grocery list a lot of you were kind of shocked that my list was so unhealthy. I am no Betty Crocker – by any means. It’s rare that I find a recipe blog that I like, but I actually found one I like. I am going to take it slow but I am going to try and improve my family’s eating habits.
Here are two healthy breakfast recipes that I am going to try this weekend!
- Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookies Healthy and Fun! I think the girls would at least try these!
- Whole Wheat Banana Muffins

Work at Home Jobs
Work at home jobs is a new feature I am considering adding to this blog on a weekly basis, that is, if this is something that you like to see. I search a lot of job boards throughout the week so I thought I would showcase the jobs that I come across that seem legitimate and decent paying. I can’t guarantee the legitimacy of all of these jobs but I know that I have weeded out a lot of the junk offers for you.
If this is a feature that you would like to see please let me know by commenting or sharing this post. I need some sort of indication that this will be a feature that you like. If there is any other feature that you would like to see on this blog on a weekly or monthly basis, please let me know.

Wow, Alexa, I’m impressed by the list of freelance jobs on your plate. They are all so varied, which must keep it interesting. Do you only go after work where you are knowledgeable about the subject matter? I haven’t tried to get freelance jobs, but it sounds like something that might work for me.
Thanks for sharing so much!

Great job Alexa with your freelance income. Even though you made $9.xx on the blog that’s still great money. I look forward to making some money with my blog as soon as it’s moved over. I started writing for one site this past month and hope to continue building that relationship. Have a great weekend. Cheers Mr.CBB
