Good News, Bad News

One of the ways I’ve been trying to pay down my debt a little quicker is by taking on freelance work. The work for one online client, however, which had been my go-to place for a few extra bucks, has dried up lately. I’ve earned only about $200 through them over the last six months, whereas before, I could earn more than $200 within a month and had the potential to earn that much in a week. I was kind of hoping that after my daughter was born, I could quit my full-time job and work from home, but there isn’t enough for that to happen.

I’m hoping the work for that client builds back up soon, but in the meantime, I’ve been able to focus on another freelance client and a hobby that COULD be a source of income down the road (and it has afforded me the time to start this blog). I also found out another of my freelance clients has decided to increase what it pays me. It’s far from enough to offset the loss of the other work, but it’s better than nothing.

thredUP

Yesterday, I heard about a site called thredUP . Through this site, you can buy used clothes for your growing child from other parents, and sell the ones your child has outgrown. As quickly as our little girl goes through clothes at this stage, I think this sounds like a great idea. I'm constantly pulling clothes my daughter has outgrown out of her closet, and I feel like she's forever running out of clothes that fit her. I plan to look into it a little more, and I just might give it a try.

Frozen Dinner Thoughts

I've been trying to give some thought to what kinds of foods would make good homemade frozen dinners.  (My first post on the topic is here .) Tomorrow is grocery day, so I'd like to have an idea what kinds of things I can make to make sure I have all the ingredients. So far, I'm planning stew (per my husband's request) and a crustless cheeseburger quiche. Hopefully, I can think of another seven options between today and tomorrow.

TV Time

I'm still looking for a lighter TV , but I hope to buy one within the next couple of weeks. I don't like that so many that I see come with only a yearlong warranty. I don't trust that. Odds are -- based on the reviews of the ones I've seen -- the TV will outlast the warranty, but I just dislike the idea of shelling out $300 or $400 for something that the manufacturer has only a year's worth of confidence in. Based on what I've found in researching TVs, though, I'm probably not going to get a better warranty than that, so I'll likely just have to suck it up.
