Money, self-employment, raising kids, working from home...
In 2012, I became a mum and first explored self-employment while on maternity leave, making and selling handmade jewellery and crafts on Etsy and a Facebook page, and opening an online fashion store. By 2013 I had started blogging, and by 2016 I was earning a full-time income from my blog alone.
Starting January 2017, I made the bold decision to leave the secure income of my employed job and fully embrace self-employment as a full-time money and lifestyle blogger. By the summer of 2019, I became our family's breadwinner!
As a former shopping addict who faced a debt crisis in my teenage years, I developed a strong passion for financial stability and becoming debt-free. This led to my blog having a large money-focus along with a personal interest in side hustles and ways to make real free money.
Since I went self-employed, my husband has too! He's ran a local handyman business, a handmade reclaimed wood furniture business, home, garden and DIY websites, and Etsy and eBay shops selling his handmade creations and digital printables.
Drawing from our combined expertise and experience, my blog provides valuable insights into working from home, setting up home offices, running Etsy and eBay stores, monetising blogs, managing finances as self-employed individuals and as a family, all while balancing work, life, side hustles, passion projects, kids and health!

My annual online & blogging income reports
My revealing annual turnover income reports are a great way of digging into exactly how I make money online and from home each year.
Click an income report below to see which online activities and side hustles were lucrative for me each year working as a full-time blogger:
- How I made £26000 from home + blogging in 2017
- How I made £35000 from home + blogging in 2018
- How I made £31000 from home + blogging in 2019
- How I made £45000 from home + blogging in 2020
- How I made £73000 from home + blogging in 2021
In 2021 I decided to write my final income report as they were becoming too repetitive. However, my online and blog activities continued to perform strongly. In 2022 and 2023, I generated turnovers of £56,000 and £62,000, with pre-tax profits of £50,000 and £56,000.
Although my earlier income reports still offer valuable insights into my income sources, my primary focus since 2022 has shifted towards affiliate marketing and advertising as an online publisher with less focus on other online side hustles.
