Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to all my readers. I didn’t actually remember to celebrate my blogs first Birthday last November. I guess I was a bit busy. I can’t believe that Stay At Home A Lot has been going for over a year!

If you are new here then welcome, I just wanted to take a moment to reflect and let you know what my blog is all about. Up in my Header you can see Four catagories and an About Me page.

The Four Categories

A Place to Read –

Reading is a passion of mine right from when I was young and I’d read my books well into the night and go to school with dark rings around my eyes. It was always worth it though. I like to write book reviews, mostly for pleasure but also to share with you so you may get some ideas. I will often use affiliate links to my books as they can earn me a little money if you go ahead and buy, and with no extra cost to you!

I’m also an affiliate for Audible as I like to listen to a lot of my books and I’ve been an Audible member for many years. If you want to know more about Audible you can read my prize winning post Five Reasons Why You Should Listen to Audible.

I also run a monthly link up for all book lovers who like to write about books they’ve read or want to read. It’s called Bookworms Monthly and you can catch up with the latest link up right here.

A Place To Eat –

Mostly you will find my weekly meal plans under this heading but I hope to be sharing some more recipes with you too. I find budgeting for food a real task, and I have seven people to feed at home. Sometimes making sandwhiches for everyone can be a mammoth task in itself.

I hope you will join me and enjoy my food related posts.

A Place To Enjoy –

This is a bit of a mixture of things that I enjoy. When you are home a lot this generally means hobbies or shopping.

I love to crochet so I’ll be sharing all my makes with you and letting you know of the best places to get your wool and patterns.

I also love to shop, so you’ll find a lot of shopping posts here. Again from places I’m affiliated with so please feel free to click through. Remember, if you purchase you’ll earn me a little cash at no extra cost to yourself. (More money = More wool)

A Place to Earn –

Here you will find my hints and advice on how to earn money from home. I’m currently an Avon Representative trying to set up an online business so I’ll let you know how I do that step -by-step. I’ll also share guides on how to make money from being an affiliate and which programs to join.

Also, I have sideline earnings in matched betting and filling in surveys. It all helps.
