Christmas and spending money in Life as a Mom of 2 boys.....and a girl!!

I’ve been spending 2 hours a day lately on the Swagbucks website because I am trying to earn as many gift cards as possible so we have less to spend ourselves on Christmas gifts. It can be annoying for sure but it is so tempting to keep going and earn as much as I can. I do it when the kids are napping in the afternoon and a bit in the evening. I might be able to get up to $150 in gift cards before Christmas. Woo hoo! I love saving money. I’m just lucky that I qualify for so many surveys. If you want to try it out, my referral link is in my last entry. You do need to use a desktop computer or laptop to get the most out of it though. And no I don’t do any offers you pay for that you can do to earn points.

I spend a lot of time figuring out things to get the kids for Christmas that they won’t just toss aside. We are still deciding but so far Miles is getting this bob the builder construction vehicle that scoops things up, Cody is getting a toy helicopter he was drooling over at Toys r us, they will both get lego duplo sets and paw patrol stuff. I also saw a cool hot wheels launching thing they will probably like and I want to try a building toy called squigz. Summer is going to get this leapfrog Violet puppy thing from Santa and some kind of toy from us and thats it because she will get spoiled by everyone else. Oh and I want to get the boys some kiddy flashlights since they always want the house one lately.

I wanted to do some field agent jobs this week but there doesn’t seem to be much available at the moment. I did one on Monday when I was at Walmart and that was it. So we’ll see when they add more. It will probably be soon :)
