Years ago, I used to do a lot of freezer cooking. I’d share my one-hour, four-hour, or even all-day cooking sessions on here on the blog, and people loved them.
One thing I often made was peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the freezer. In my posts, I’d casually mention, “I made 10 PB&J sandwiches for the freezer,” and without fail, someone would write and ask:
“How do you make freezer PB&J?”
At first, I’d respond with something like, “You just make PB&J sandwiches and freeze them.” But people would ask again:
“No, but how do you make them?”
It dawned on me that something I thought was so simple and obvious was not obvious at all to someone else. Eventually, I ended up writing a recipe for freezer PB&J—bread, peanut butter, jelly—and step-by-step instructions. (Pro tip: spread PB on both slices first so the jelly never touches the bread—no soggy sandwiches!)
I’ve lost track of how many people have told me that post changed their life.
Why am I telling you this? Because you, too, have knowledge, skills, and experiences that feel like “common sense” to you but could be life-changing to someone else.
That’s exactly why I created The Work-From-Home Blueprint—to help you uncover those skills and experiences you might be overlooking… and turn them into real income from home.
Your “PB&J” idea could be the thing that launches a freelance career, a digital product, a coaching service, or even just a simple side hustle that changes your family’s finances.
You just need the right process to find it, refine it, and share it.
👉 Click here to get The Work-From-Home Blueprint and discover the simple ideas you’ve been sitting on that could help you start earning from home. Hurry! We close the doors to the coaching on Monday! I don’t want you to miss out!
Your PB&J idea is out there. Let’s find it!
Looking to save money while studying? We’ve rounded up the best high school and college student discounts and deals available across top brands, stores, and services to help you stretch your budget further!
Life as a teen, whether you’re in high school or heading off to college, comes with new freedoms but also new expenses. From clothes and tech gadgets to streaming subscriptions and snacks between classes, costs can add up fast.
The good news? There are lots of student discounts and student deals out there that can help stretch that budget.
Plus, those savings add up: a few bucks saved here and there can free up cash for fun experiences, savings goals, or emergency expenses.
Below, I’m sharing everything I’ve found as a resource to help students get great savings on everyday items, restaurant meals, and more.
Many places will ask you to verify your student status before receiving a discount so keep that in mind. Here’s what you can expect from some businesses, along with some resources that can help make the process smooth and quick.
Physical Student ID: Many mom-and-pop shops, local coffeehouses, movie theaters, museums, or even fast-food spots will offer a discount if you politely ask and show your school ID. High school or college ID cards both count! Encourage your teen to keep that ID handy and ask: “Do you offer a student discount?” Even if it’s not advertised, it never hurts to try.
Verification Platforms (Mostly for College)
Tip for Parents: If your teen is dual-enrolled in community college or already has a college email, they may qualify early. Otherwise, plan ahead for freshman year!
You might think “student discounts” only kick in once you’re in college, but many local businesses, apps, and national brands will honor a valid student ID — even for high schoolers. Learning to hunt for deals early teaches smart money habits: comparison-shopping, tracking subscriptions, and asking the right questions.
There are hundreds of discounts you can get as a student, but here are the top general categories to keep a pulse on. And remember: it never hurts to ask if there’s a student discount or deal, because you never know when there might be one!
Beyond direct discounts, using rewards and cash-back tools can add a meaningful “income” stream:
Combining these with student discount codes means double-dipping on savings!
Student discounts and student benefits aren’t just for college students; savvy high schoolers can start early by asking for local deals, using cashback apps, and practicing budgeting habits. As parents, guiding teens through these strategies helps them build confidence and financial smarts.
Encourage them to keep that student ID within reach, explore apps like Rakuten or Ibotta, and sign up for college-focused verifications once eligible.
Start today and challenge your teen (and yourself!) to spot one new deal each week. Those small victories add up to big wins over time!

After years of coaching women who want to work from home, I’ve noticed there are 3 big roadblocks that stop women before they even get started:
1️⃣ Not knowing where to start – It feels overwhelming to sift through the noise.
2️⃣ Fear of scams or wasting time – You don’t want to waste months chasing something that goes nowhere or worse is actually a scam.
3️⃣ Not feeling confident in your skills – You wonder, “Why would anyone hire me?”
My brand-new course, The Work-From-Home Blueprint, is built to tackle each of these head-on:
And if you join the coaching? I’ll personally walk you through it and answer your questions along the way.
I created this course because I know what it’s like to want to earn income from home… but feel completely overwhelmed about where to even start.
Whether you want to bring in a little extra to cover groceries, save for a trip, or build something that could eventually replace your job, this step-by-step Blueprint is designed to help you do it — with clarity, confidence, and a doable plan.
Want to take it to the next level and have hands-on accountability? I’m leading a four-week coaching group and we will go through The Work-From-Home Blueprint together.
As part of the coaching group, you’ll get a one-hour LIVE weekly group Zoom call with me where I will teach more in-depth on specific topics that you all request, will answer your questions and address your struggles, and will even critique some of your projects (if you want them to be critiqued/want to get feedback on them!)
It will provide not only access to ask me questions as you go through the course, but you’ll get the accountability and encouragement to follow through with the course and start your business or land a remote job!
The offer to join the coaching group is only good through Monday morning — we close the doors Monday at noon and it won’t be open again until sometime in 2026!
