It’s been a while since I’ve mentioned Swagbucks here. With Christmas coming, I thought this would be a great time to share it again so that you can earn some free gift money!

Swagbucks is on online search engine that I use just like I would use a Google search engine. The difference? With Swagbucks, I earn “bucks” which can be redeemed for prizes. What prizes do I choose? Amazon gift cards – which I then use for school books, organic groceries, or Christmas gifts! (FREE!)  I’ve also redeemed some of my Swagbucks for Starbucks gift cards. And there are tons of other options, including restaurants, clothing stores, and much more.

I have found that the easiest way to use the Swagbuck search engine is to download the Swagbuck toolbar, or install the Swag Buck Plugin – either of which will make doing internet searches through Swagbucks simple. I don’t earn “bucks” every single time I do a search, but I do earn them several times each day. They all add up – and then they can be turned into gift cards!

In addition, you can refer your friends and family – then you earn more Swagbucks each time they earn. It’s a pretty sweet deal  – all for doing online searches that you would be doing anyway. 

Let me know if you have any questions about how this works. I have found this to be a wonderful, easy way to earn free credit for gifts and books. Sign up now and start earning!

Here’s an awesome Lego set that Swagbucks Matt and I got our boys for Christmas last year. Score!

 

I am excited to see that today through August 29, Vitacost is offering free shipping on all grocery orders over $25! Plus, if you are a new customer with Vitacost and you first sign up through this referral link, you will receive an email with a $10 credit code which you can use to make your purchase.

Therefore, if you put $35 worth of groceries into your cart, then apply your $10 credit, with the free shipping, you’ll be getting a lot of bang for your buck!

If you’re already a Vitacost customer, the Free Shipping for grocery orders over $25 is still a great deal. Recently, I’ve been watching for and taking advantage of Vitacost’s sales to have some of our favorite foods and ingredients on hand this fall. I love Vitacost’s reasonable prices, and I’m so thankful for online buying options like this since so many of these products aren’t available to me in our small town. :)

It was an exciting day at our house. It was a day in which we were standing in the kitchen, drinking water, exclaiming phrases such as, “Wow!” and “Seriously!” and “Can I have some more?!”

Don’t you wish you could be here partying with us? Oh you know you do.

Water is something we don’t typically have a party over. Milk? Maybe. Homemade lemonade? For sure. But water? Well water is just…water. Until today.

This week, More Than Alive sent us a Berkey Water Filter. Today when we tried it for the first time, well…we stood in the kitchen celebrating water. It can only be described as delicious. Smooth. Soft. Clean. Pure. Wow.

You’ve gotta love it when I go on and on in a post about something as simple as water. But well, I’m pretty sure you’d feel the same if you tried it.

What’s incredible about a Berkey Water Filter is this:  It filters out all the contaminants, while leaving in all the good minerals our bodies need! It is powerful enough to purify raw water from lakes and ponds, making it a great choice for campers and overseas missionaries. Amazing. It reduces heavy metals. It rids your water of chemicals. This is all done with gravity – no electricity is necessary.

To say that I am impressed with our new Berkey Water Filter is an understatement. Head over to the More Than Alive site to learn more and to see what a great investment this is.

Guess what? If you come back in a few days, we’ll be having a giveaway for a Berkey Water Filter. Don’t miss it!
