“It’s giveaway time at Katherines Corner, and I’m co-hosting!”
Spring is in the air, making me think of gardening and what flowers I would like to plant in the backyard. I don’t want it to get warm too quickly because when the tulips buds start to bloom, they will last a little longer. Spring is a time to refresh and reorganize your mind and look at what’s important in life. I often hear there’s never enough time, well I have found that I have to make the time. If I am looking for the time, it will never happen. It’s also time to enter the Hello Spring Giveaway!

Hello, Wonderful People
I pray that you are doing well. Spring is around the corner, and daffodils are starting to bloom.
It is hard to imagine that at this time last year, the world began shutting down, and everything came to a sudden halt. COVID-19 hit like a bombshell and quickly changed life as we knew it. Schools shut down, public events were canceled, and people were told not to leave their homes. A temporary solution to a potentially serious situation would be necessary to keep us safe so that we could return to a normal life.
One year ago today (March 18th), my wife and I started working from home with the anticipation of returning to the office by April 6th. That two-and-a-half-week period has turned into a full year. We are still working at home for most of our time while returning full time in the office has not yet been discussed.
No one could have imagined that a year later, we are still talking about it. We are still under the grips of COVID-19 and still looking to return to normal. What is normal? Thankfully, we see the light at the end of the tunnel. People are now being vaccinated, new cases are going down, and businesses are being reopened.
Without question, COVID has affected everyone, either directly or indirectly. Many people lost their jobs, their livelihoods, and even their lives. We remember and honor these people. While people may disagree about prevention and treatment methods, we all must agree that when life gets back to normal, it will not be the same normal as before. For the first time, people have focused on cleanliness at home and in public. Working from home has become the norm, and with a greater expectation of continuing. Loneliness and depression have escalated. People will love and appreciate their friends and family more after being isolated from them for such a long period of time.
For me personally, I see an increased change in ways that I didn’t think was possible. I started looking inside myself and my life. Working from home had proven to be a viable option for me when I never thought it could be possible. I have attended several online training sessions for personal and professional growth that was never available in the virtual format before COVID-19. I could spend more time with my wife, Seppe, and with our Vinny as he faced the last months of his life.

How has COVID-19 changed your life? Are you concerned about the new normal, or do you embrace change? How are you planning to alter your daily life to remain safe? Let me know in the comments below.

Are your finances a sore point for you at the moment? We’ve all been in that situation at one point or another, so don’t feel embarrassed or worried. Know that you’re not alone, and that if other people have found their way out their situations, you can as well. It might be the case that you simply don’t know how to improve your financial situation, and that’s okay because we do. In this article, we’re going to be taking a look at some of the things that you can do to improve your financial situation, so keep reading if you would like to find out more.

Start A Side Hustle
The first thing that you should think about doing is starting a side hustle. While it might not seem possible right now, just keep in mind that side hustles are there to be flexible so that you can make extra money around your day job. For example, this could be doing something like dog walking as there is always time for this. Or, you could take up blogging if you like to write and want to share your thoughts with the world.
You might not make masses of money from a side hustle, but that’s okay because it’s just supposed to be a little top up. It will help to improve your finances by giving you some extra wiggle room each month.
Get Out Of Debt
Another thing that you’re going to need to do is get yourself out of debt. While it might feel like the hardest thing in the world to do, you simply need to be organized about it. Speak to anyone that you owe money to, and see if they will allow you to set up a payment plan. Keep in mind that as you have come to them, and they haven’t had to chase you, combined with the fact that they want their money back, they are more than likely to accept the plan you propose.
Go through your finances and ensure that you can afford to make the payments on the debt every month. Eventually, you will find your way out of debt and everything will be okay again.
Manage Your Money Better
Finally, you need to manage your money better. This means that you should be budgeting and updating the budget whenever your financial situation changes. When you do this though, you should always be planning for any unforeseen expenses such as HVAC repair so that you have some extra funds if the worst happens. Once you learn to manage your money better, you will find that your finances significantly improve.
We hope that you have found this article helpful, and now see some of the things that you should be doing in order to improve your finances. It might not seem like it’s possible right now, but we guarantee that if you put your mind to it, there is nothing that you won’t be able to achieve with your money. We wish you the very best of luck.

Whether you are planning to stay at home as the restrictions ease from COVID or you want to get back out into the world as soon as possible – it is so important to think of your finances.
2020 showed us that our lives can be turned upside down in an instant and it is so important that we take the opportunity to find new ways to stay financially stable.
Today we want to look specifically at some fun ways to earn money at home and even make some passive income alongside your full time job. These ideas are simple and can be a great way to ensure your financial safety and save up for the important things in life.
Sell baby plants
One fun way to earn extra money as we go into spring this year is to grow and sell baby plants. This could be anything from herbs to vegetables and even succulents. Plants such as aloevera reproduce at a fast rate and they are easy to grow and sell. It can be a fun hobby as well as a money making method and won’t take up much of your time at all!
Bake goodies
If you love to create fun bakes for your family and friends why not amp this up to the next stage and create bakes for people in your local community? Baking is a fun skill to play around with and you’ll be able to sell your goods at markets or even simply from your home where people can collect them.
Try trading
Trading on the forex market using a platform such as MT5 can be a great way to earn money in a passive way. By buying and selling currency throughout the week you will be able to earn a lucrative amount of money and give yourself an extra form of income. Be aware of the risks with this type of trading though, and make sure to be careful when trading. Keeping an eye on current events is often the smart thing to do here and it will make a whole lot of difference to your trades.
Make YouTube videos
Making YouTube videos is an art form and many people create some great things. If you have a skill or a story to share why not create a video and put it out there? When you start gaining views for your content you will also earn money through ad revenue and this can bring you a nice bit of passive income every month.
Write a book of short stories
If you have a creative mind but not enough patience to write an entire novel; one thing you can do is write some short stories and publish them in a book. Once this is published you can receive money every time you get a sale and it will boost your income.
Use these simple ideas to make some extra money at home this spring and start to recoup your finances and save for your future.
Look Into The World Of Cryptocurrency
The world is evolving and there is lots of money to be made online – as you know by now. The world of cryptocurrency and investing in online platforms is becoming a no-brainer as it is making people a lot of money. You might be asking yourself Is bitcoin legal or not – well it is, and it’s completely fine to work with. A small investment today in a particular coin could be very, very helpful for you going forward. You must learn the game, however – don’t just throw money at anything.

Hello, Beautiful Ones!
Hope you are doing well! It’s been cold and snowy here in the Show Me State. It hasn’t snowed like this or been this cold for this long in a while. My puppies needed little boots because the ground was so cold. I find the snow is peaceful and there is a calming effect with it. When I look out the window and I see the snow falling, it takes me back to my childhood. I would play and run around the yard with the doggies.
For most of the country, it’s been bitter cold and many people in Texas have been without power. I pray that everyone is warm and has power.
Ready for a warm waffle or bagel with homemade peanut butter?
