My Husband Quit his Job | FULL TIME BLOGGERS | Making an Income from Home and Debt Free Living

- I'm so excited to share a huge milestone for our family that is happening today. It has been a goal over two years ago when I started this little blog to bring my husband home from his job.

I don't usually get super personal on this blog, and telling this story feels a little vulnerable. But, this day is super exciting for me and my family, and I feel like, if you have similar goals, it may be the very story that makes your goals seem possible.
Today is my husband's last day of work at the job he has been in for over 13 years. We are moving forward to pursue our career as full time bloggers.
This story starts over 10 years ago in December of 2007 when my husband and I were married. We were just kids then, at 22 and 23. We had our first baby (almost) exactly one year later in December of 2008.
I remember a few conversations, even way back then, about wanting to start some kind of business that would allow us to work together as a family.
I started a few little side gigs, but none of them amounted to anything.
make it a full time income for our family. Today is the day we make that big leap. This is day one in our journey as full time bloggers.
At the time we were busy learning how to live the married life and be parents to our growing brood of little people. We were also busy paying down our debt.
You can read all about our debt free story and how paid off our house in less than five years HERE.
I also spent a ton of time learning how to sew, cook and take care of the household.
When my second daughter was a baby, I became borderline obsessed with sewing. I remember staying up until late in the night, designing girls dresses with my baby tied to be in a handmade "Mei Tei" wrap from a friend. I listed the dresses on Etsy and sold quite a few.
Burnout eventually set in without anyone to help me in the shop, and two little ones to take care of.
Preparing for the goal
Although my little business ventures never earned more than a little extra spending money, I guess this part of the story is the preparation phase. We did a lot of learning and growing. We kept our lives super simple and minimal, so that we could leverage the income we were making, to pay off our debt and create a savings. These little steps led us in the right direction financially.
Fast forward to the year 2015. We had our fourth baby in August. Soon after that, in December of 2015, I wrote my first blog post on Farmhouse on Boone.
Something about having a baby makes me think of new business ventures. Remember the Etsy shop after baby #2? Must be hormones or something!
It didn't take long for me to figure out that I knew absolutely nothing about the blogging world. SEO, Wordpress vs. Squarespace, starting an email list, Tailwind Tribes, niches, HTML..my head was spinning from the very beginning!
The whole first year of posts are absolutely TERRIBLE. It was clear I knew nothing about photography and it took me a while to figure out how to be myself in the writing.
I spent countless hours researching and working on behind the scenes stuff. Learning to shoot my camera in manual mode was also a challenge. I did have the help of my photographer sister for that one. She received lots of texts that read something like this, "Hey, if you were in a west facing bedroom at noon, what would your camera settings be?"
For the risk of this post getting too long, I will jump straight the the part where my husband and I set a real and actual goal...

Farmhouse on Boone This is becoming one of my favourite channels. I love hearing your personal story. Can you explain exactly how money is earned from having a blog?
I’m so happy I found your channel! I made your pumpkin and acorn squash soup, and it was so good! I couldn’t make it with the bacon or cream but it still was delicious!
I would love to see what toys you have for your children (including things you wish you didn’t get them), dealing with gifts (giving and receiving and all around minimalism videos that are practical for families. Also, maybe some DIYs that don’t involve sewing (😂)
Brittany Shaw I second this, especially the toys part
3rd ;-)
Gardening and preserving your harvest please!
Yes, please share on how to start a blog. Love all your videos, you have an amazing personality and spirit. I've been trying all kinds of new things that I've learned from your videos. This week I'm going to start my sourdough starter.
Congratulations!!!! I personally LOVE organization and cleaning videos!!! Those are my all time favorites!!! xo
Renie Handler Yeess I would live to see how she keeps a neat home with a large family!
I agree!
Would love to hear more about how you make money blogging, your garden, adventure days with your fam, homeschool routine and of course your farmhouse :) love your work!!
Congratulations on achieving your family goal!! You are encouraging me to reduce clutter, live a simpler life and to work on being debt free! Thanks for sharing!
Such fab news for you and your beautiful family. Ive 5 kids and a 5 young children my youtube channel has allowed me to make some income that has enabled us to spend less time at work and more at home but having hubby at home would be the dream! Well deserved for all the work you've put in! xx
Way to go you guys!!! Congratulations !! I would love to see more family vlogs along with home decor ideas and of course your GORGEOUS Home tours!! You are such a inspiration to many!! 💕💕💕
Congrats girl! So happy for you and your family, and I'm excited to see what's to come for you!
Please have your husband share his story of transitioning out of a "9-5" job to becoming self employed, stay at home dad, etc. I think it will really inspire a lot of men who desire to be a stay at home/entrepreneur to be with their family but just don't have the vision on how to do it. Thanks for your vids😊
Wow!!! Congratulations! What a well thought out, well planned plan for this next chapter. And an incredible leap of faith! We are all right here standing behind you, supporting and cheering you along the way. Many happy blessings to you and your family! 🌸
