Strategies to Earn

After being home with the kids for a while, I had a desire to contribute to the family finances again. I researched various ways to earn money while I cared for the kids. At the time, the ideas could not be about getting an outside job. Staying home was where I was supposed to be for our season of life.

These strategies I utilize are simple and effective. You won't become a millionaire, but you will find ways to earn that are doable if you want enough to pay for a coffee, or even put aside for Christmas each year (as I do)!
