    As Seen on KPRC Channel 2: How one Houston mom is raising entrepreneurs

    Modified: Jan 14, 2021 by Jill Jarvis · This post may contain affiliate links · This blog generates income via ads · #sponsoredpost · 4 Comments

    "Teaching kids the value of money, about earning and saving, can be a difficult concept. One Houston mom turned the concept into a career with a literal job for her children.

    "Like clockwork every Sunday afternoon, the Jarvis children roll their trash cans and their neighbors' cans to the curb for pickup on Monday morning."

    See our story of our Garbage Man Joe on KPRC Channel 2.

    Thanks Amy Davis for the coverage!

    About Jill Jarvis

    Jill Jarvis is the owner of JillBJarvis.com, a BigKidSmallCity.com and Things to Do in Houston, with Kids, blog!

    She is the mom of 4 and started the website years ago... when she was tired of constantly cleaning up the same mess in the family room.

    Another mom showed her that you could just go do fun things in Houston, without hours of planning.

    This inspired the blog and changed everything about how she enjoyed life in Houston, with kids!
