30 before 30 - #29 - Find a second job that brings in substantial income

This is probably an immature post as I didn't actually define substantial income.  During the 4th of July weekend (Madison Regatta) my husband had to work and I didn't want to Regatta alone so I volutneered to work at the Historic Broadway Hotel and Tavern.  It started as a simply help a friend out and has expanded into some weekend catering gigs and another weekend shift.  I loved working during Regatta because that was spending money for our honeymoon to England.  Now I like it because it is helping pay down some bills faster.

30 before 30 - #7 - Canning

Thanks to my amazing friend Casey and her mom, I was successful in my first canning endeavor. I grew quite a few tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers this summer. The tomatoes were used to make pico de gallo most fo the summer but a batch made it into salsa. I also planted cucumbers and was unsure what to do with them as my hubby doesn't eat them. We were also involved in a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) so we had a bunch of beans as well. I am most excited to eat the green beans!
