Income Opportunities for Daughters at Home

As daughters at home, our expenses are generally pretty low. But, still, there are times when a little bit of cash comes in handy now and then. So how can you earn money if you're not working? Firstly, being at home within the family shouldn't mean that you are not working, as idle hands are anything but biblical, the main thing is what you're doing and who you are working for. So here are some ideas of things a daughter might do to earn a couple of dollars (or possibly more) for those little expenses that come with life.

As a side note, most of these ideas use skills that are a wonderful addition to any aspiring homemaker or wife. Also, many good things such as business and negotiation skills can be learned through these experiences.

Some of these ideas may require special licenses or money to get going. Not every one will be right for every family. This is just a starting point. If you have a good idea, pray about it, talk it over with your parents and, if they think it's a good idea, learn as much about it as possible. 

I hope you may be encouraged and inspired.
