After completing my master's in Special Education and becoming a certified teacher, I was honestly unsure about pursuing this career. I didn't think I could handle the demands of being a classroom teacher, I figured I could be an aide at best. So when I got my job as a teaching aide after graduating....I thought making $12/hour would be as good as it gets.
I thought I would have to work HARD for every dollar. And I definitely did that in the classroom. Nowadays, it’s totally different. I make a consistent 1-2k+ a month by blogging & recording YouTube videos from my couch. I earn money primarily through writing reviews & sharing affiliate links. I set my own hours, and it is my dream job.
Toddlers Can Read books are back in stock, and I’m excited to share my experience with both the original and advanced sets. These decodable books have been a game-changer in my homeschooling journey, helping my son progress from basic phonics to full sentences with confidence. In this post, I walk through what’s included in each set, how they align with the Toddlers Can Read course, and why they’re such a great tool for teaching kids to read. Plus, I’ve got a 10% discount code to help you save! Read on to learn more.
If you're struggling with teacher burnout, I want to tell you you’re not alone. And now with the creator economy, there are so many more opportunities for you to thrive than there were when I quit a decade ago. If you’re thinking of creating a YouTube channel, I’ve got a resource for you to help you get started.
Last January, I bought the Toddlers Can Read* course to help my son learn to read before kindergarten. My initial goal was simple: I wanted him to be able to read basic text, like the first book in the Toddlers Can Read course titled Tap, which contains a lot of three-letter words. My hope was for him to gain introductory reading skills, where he could go through a book and read words like "pat" and "rat." I wanted him to know letter sounds and read simple words.


Why I stopped tutoring online: the burnout, the business realities, and what finally pushed me to change direction. If you’re rethinking your niche or struggling to make tutoring sustainable, this breakdown is for you.
