Picking Just One

One of my sources of extra income has dried up, so I've shifted my efforts to less lucrative endeavors: writing/editing and beadwork. I could boost my overall side income, I believe, if I chose to put all of my freelance energy into just one. For instance, by focusing more on writing and editing, I could seek out and pick up more clients. Similarly, I should be able to earn more if I put the writing/editing on hold and spent all of my "freelance" time making beadwork and seeking out avenues for selling.

The trouble is, though, I enjoy doing both, so deciding which to let fall by the wayside isn't easy. I really should, though, because reach my goal of being debt-free by my daughter's fifth birthday is going to be tough on what we currently make. It's doable, but things such as broken washers come along and erode progress all the time.

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.

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.

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.
