Making Money Online Tips

Time to enjoy life

Yes…we all need more time to enjoy our lives!

Today I want to show you some wonderful books I have researched and give you some tips that could help those that would love to earn some, if not all income online. The books are affiliate links that I think will benefit many of you.

Many people I have talked to, want more time to enjoy life. Young and older people want more money and freedom. Young people have told me they have small children and would love to stay home to be a full time Mom or Dad with the freedom to enjoy their children. Some would like the freedom to work anywhere with time for traveling. I have also had conversations with people near retirement age or retiring soon and would love to not only retire early, they would like to have more money after retirement. Retirement should be a reward for all the long years of working!

Antique Glass Bowl With Peaches And Grapes Oil Painting

I have loved antiques since I was a child.  I loved looking at the china, crystal and glassware in my grandmother’s china cabinet.  I have several antiques given to me from my grandparents and parents that I cherish.  Each one is a reminder of the special memories I have spent with family.   I am planning to include some of my pieces in my future oil paintings.

This is my current oil painting that is available for purchase.  This painting would make a great addition for your kitchen, dining room or for a gift for a special loved one or friend.

My new oil painting with crystal, peaches and grapes.  I hope you enjoy!

Camping or surviving power outage tips – I need my coffee!

 

Version 2

I admit it. I have to have my coffee! I am one of those people that drinks coffee first thing in the morning and all day. I can drink coffee right up to bed time and have no trouble sleeping! What do I do when camping? What would I do if the electricity went out and I can’t make my coffee even at home?! I admit, I would be a little upset! Are you like me…do you need/want your coffee?  I live in the Midwest of the U.S. and sometimes the weather can get pretty unpredictable!  Rain storms in the spring and summer, snow storms with ice in the winter can cause power outages.  I like to be prepared!

There are many types of coffee and ways to make coffee at home or camping. if your Here are a few choices that can make your coffee experience a little easier.

Instant coffee –   My choice is Starbucks Via Italian Roast Instant Coffee.  It is a dark roast with bold flavors that tastes rich and full without nearly any bitterness.  Instant coffee for camping is light weight when camping.

Boiling Water – A great stove to use for camping or when you are at home and the power goes out is the Coleman Classic Propane Stove .  You will need propane for your stove.

This post is about having our wonderful coffee.  I will be posting to make your camping, and times when you just want to be prepared for power outages often.  Don’t miss updates!  Please “Follow” me and get your updates in your e-mail!
