Here's a photo of my first $10 Amazon gift card that I got TOTALLY FREE just by uploading the receipts I get from my everyday purchases.  When I buy gas, I snap the receipt. Stopping at CFA for a chicken sandwich? I snap the receipt. Just finished buying groceries? You bet, I'm snapping the receipt! It all adds up to free gift cards!

Have you heard of Flex Rewards? Once you download the app to your smartphone, you can immediately start snapping the receipts you get for all your purchases (any reciepts from anywhere) - and those receipts add up quickly to get you points that you can redeem for gift cards to your favorite places. So far, I've claimed several Amazon gift cards, but you can also redeem your points for gift cards to Starbucks, Marshall's, Bath & Body Works, Burger King, The Cheesecake Factory, and several dozen other well-known stores and restaurants. Using Fetch Rewards is free and super easy!

Don't you think it's pretty cool to serve up a salad for your family with the vegetables you picked just minutes ago in your own garden?

Have you ever considered starting a vegetable garden? In recent years, we've seen an increase in the number of moms (yes, modern moms like YOU) turning to their own gardens to grow their own vegetables to save money, eat healthy foods, and live a more holistic lifestyle overall. Some say that gardening is even a stress-reliever (although when I think about the trials of my first-time gardening experience, I'm not so sure I'd agree).

The point is, however, organic gardening is enjoying a level of popularity like never before, and raised gardening seems to be the popular choice. A quick stroll around a few of the backyards in your neighborhood might reveal small board or stone sided rectangles in peoples' backyards housing mini vegetable gardens. That’s called “raised bed” gardening, and it’s actually a GREAT method for breaking into gardening. As with all new hobbies, there are many considerations (and for the record, we are NOT experts on raising vegetables. In fact, we’re still trying to figure out how to raise our kids!), but we wanted to give you some information to get you started.

Small changes add up to big results! Here are 3 lifestyle improvements you can start making today that'll improve your well-being in 2022. (We've included Amazon affliate links below for your shopping convenience.)

1. Drink more water. You’ve heard it said that we need 8 cups a day, but you might need more depending on your age, size, and level of activity. If you’re not already consuming the required amount, techniques such as drinking a cup as soon as your wake up, or carrying a water bottle with you throughout the day, can be helpful. I highly recommend this HidrateSpark Smart Water bottle! I started using these bottles years ago, and they’ve been worth the $50+ dollars they cost. Many of my friends have purchased their own as well and have been pleased with them. The bottle tracks your water intake by syncing via Bluetooth to the app, and it glows to remind you when it’s time to chug.
