Christmas Book Advent Calendar Idea
So I ran across this suggested post about advent calendars. If you have multiple kids you know they always find something that's 'not fair' or shared. Mine argue over the chocolate in the advent calendar each year.🤦♀️ So this year try doing a book tree calendar! If read to them every night before bed this is a great way to try out some new books.

How to Get the Best Deals on Amazon Prime Day
How to Get the Best Deals on Amazon Prime Day
Prime Day 2022 kicks off on Tuesday! For two entire days on July 12th and 13th, we’ll see amazing deals from not only Amazon, but also a number of other companies competing with the deals Amazon is offering.
We predict that on Tuesday and Wednesday (7/12-7/13), we’ll see deals similar to what we usually see on Black Friday week. Because of this, we want to help you prepare accordingly so you can save the most money.
We’ll be posting all of the Prime Day Deals at this link right here all day Tuesday and Wednesday in our Free & Cheap South Shore Boston group (And there are even some Early Prime Day Deals already live!)
Make sure your notifications are set. You can follow Free & Cheap South Shore Boston group as a “favorite” & posts will come up right in your newsfeed. In the group, be sure you’ve set notifications to “all”. The best deals go fast!
New deals will load consistently throughout both days.
There are three types of deals: Lightning Deal (short duration), Deal of the Day (one day only) + Best Deals (both days). All deals are good til gone. I do not recommend sitting on a cart all day - check out as you go.
Take advantage of slow ship when you are unsure - this will give you more time to decide and prevent sell outs. You are charged when items ship.
Prime Day is NOT a storewide clearance - like Black Friday, it's pre-planned deals across all categories, not everything will be on deal.
If you are looking for something in particular we will do our best to find go add what you are looking for here
Here are just a few ways to earn some extra cash to spend on Prime Day:
Amazon free money deal No. 1: Reload $100 on a gift card, get $10 https://amzn.to/3PaACVh
Amazon free money deal No. 2: Complete a Stampcard, get $10 https://amzn.to/3NTAetk
Amazon free money deal No. 4: Get $20 in Prime Day credit for uploading photos https://amzn.to/3yRf62x
