How To Coupon Without The Extreme

How to Coupon Without the Extreme

I started couponing back in 2009. This was about a year before the extreme couponing craze took over. I did the extreme couponing for awhile and it definitely worked and saved me money, but it was very time-consuming. I now use a less extreme approach that only takes about 20 minutes a week and still saves me a lot of money. I know it can save you money too! Let me show you how to coupon without the extreme!

June And July 2017 Income Report

June and July 2017 Income Report

Welcome to my June and July 2017 income report! This income report will be combining June & July because summer is crazy busy with fun family stuff so I didn't have time to update the June report on its own. Considering I didn't do hardly any active work (most of this was passive income), I'm satisfied with the $1,400 I made. Check out my past income reports here. My personal goal is to make as much money as I can from home while not sacrificing any of my family responsibilities. This means I’m cooking, cleaning, going on field trips, arranging play dates, driving to/from sports, etc. and then working from home in my “spare” time. I started My Income Journey to show you how it’s possible to make money and save money from home! I hope you can gain some insight into what works (or doesn’t) and improve your own income journey! I love being a stay at home mom and think everyone should have the option to make money from home! This post contains affiliate links/ads, see my disclosure for details.

Tips For Teaching Your First Piano Lesson

Tips for Teaching Your First Piano Lesson

Getting a new piano student is exciting and a bit nerve-racking for me. Will this student enjoy piano? Will they be easy to teach? Will this new student have any musical talent? Will I enjoy teaching this student? There are so many unknowns, but there should also be excitement! The best way for me to be excited is for me to be prepared. If I know what I'm going to teach during the first few lessons then I can focus on making my new student feel calm, happy, and successful. Below are my tips for teaching your first piano lesson. Included are some free printables and awesome resources, so be sure to download those helpful sheets! The first three lessons for me are the most difficult. Most students begin lessons with little or no prior music experience and there's so much to teach them. Don't get caught up in trying to explain EVERYTHING during this first lesson. Yes, you will explain a lot, but don't give the child so much information as to overwhelm them. I have created an outline for my first few lessons. This helps me stay organized, keeps the lesson flowing smoothly, and stops me from talking too much and trying to explain everything at once. Always keep in mind how your student feels during your lessons. This first lesson is particularly important. The new student is most likely anxious, excited, nervous, and ready to learn. Keep that enthusiasm up and make the first lesson great! This page contains ads/affiliate links. See my full disclosure for details.   First Piano Lesson Outline Introductions! 1. Introduce yourself. Tell them how long you've been playing, how old you were when you learned, and why you enjoy playing the piano. 2. Let the student introduce themselves to you. Ask why he/she wants to learn to play? Do they know any songs already? Many kids have been taught something by an older sibling or parent or they might…
