Are you making money online?

Are you making money online?

Iv'e been plugging away and trying to make an income online for 4 years now. In the beginning I was lucky to earn $40 per month. It's been a long-hard struggle to really find something that works, something that at the end of the day, leaves money in the bank and helps pay the bills.

Today I am earning more a month than I ever have before. But it's still not as much as I made when I had my 8-5 job and it's not enough to call it a real job. My goal is to eventually make enough money so that I never have to go back to a full time job. I want to work for myself, I want to make my own hours and have the flexibility that I need. I want to be like one of the people that I have seen on my favorite show House Hunters Intl, one day I want to pick up and move to a far away place where all I will need is an internet connection to earn my living. Working online is the ticket, the ticket to that life I want to live. I see the goal in my mind...now I just have to put even more work into it so that it will pay off and get to the point where my goal will become a reality.

Too Much ...

Do you ever feel completely overwhelmed?

I have been so busy, this time of the year is always such a hectic time. And to think that it's just the beginning. As soon as Halloween passes we are going to get into the BUSIEST time of the year. 

At least the costume shopping is done..! I also found some cute plastic pumpkins at Smart N Final for the 3 kids to collect candy in.

These are the costumes the kids will wear:

Ninja Zombie- strange combination 

Minnie Mouse- picked this up on a great Kohl's sale yesterday.

Ballerina- We had to buy new ballet attire for my 4 year old and at the same time she decided that she wanted to be a ballerina for Halloween too. What we got her is much cuter than the ballerina costumes we have seen so this ended up being a great money saver.

Now all we need is the candy and we are set. 

Goals For The Week -

It's almost 10 a.m. on Monday morning and I am setting up my goals for the week, it's time to get on here and catch up since I haven't been able to do much online for the past 3 weeks. Things that I need and would like to finish by the end of the week.

1. Purchase a domain for this blog

2. Do at least a few blog hops per day to start getting some traffic coming in and start following more blogs

3. Pitch and bring in new review/giveaways, I am setting a goal of at least 10 different items with most of them being for giveaway too.

4. Post at least once daily from this blog.

Halloween Is Upon Us...

Halloween is almost here, I can't believe it! This past year flew by so amazingly fast, I swear I still remember getting ready for last years Halloween. It's been so crazy we haven't even had a chance to even decorate, which the kids really like so tomorrow we are going to have to go and hit Target, Walmart and the Dollar Tree.

We also still need two costumes for the kids, so the next two weeks I am on major costume deal seeking mode. I refuse to pay over 20 bucks for a costume the kids will only wear a few hours. What can I say, I am stingy like that.

To close off this post I want to share a few pics of the kids from two years ago!!! OMG, how time flies!!
