    Dual Citizenship By Descent: You Might Qualify to Live Abroad Without Realizing It

    December 24, 2020 /

    Have you ever dreamed about living in another country? I know I have. But it wasn’t until this year while researching family history with ancestry.com that I realized dual citizenship was an actual possibility for my husband. As we started looking at his family history we found out he has great grandparents from both Hungary and Italy. Those two countries along with many others to our surprise offer a form of dual citizenship by decent. How You Could Get Dual Citizenship A good starting point is talking to your family members and learning more about your heritage. The reason my husband and I started looking into ancestry in the first…

    December 21, 2020 /

    When reading income report posts from bloggers you may notice that a lot of money is generated by running ads. Its not a big surprise when you think about it. After all running ads is one of the best passive ways to earn income. Today I am excited to share with you exactly how I earned my first payment from google adsense. Update: As of January 13, 2021 I have decided to stop using Google Adsense. The reason is that my account received a notice of “invalid traffic concerns” (again).

The Tailwind Plan I Chose I selected to use Tailwind’s unlimited pinning feature that allowed me to schedule as many pins as I wanted at a time. Although to be honest…

    November 18, 2020 /

    Homemade croutons are on the menu today! I love buying fresh bread to go alongside a home cooked meal. The thing is, I don’t like how quickly fresh bread turns stale.
