Christmas Book Basket

December 10, 2018 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

I finally dug out and found all of our Christmas books, I think! Since Advent was in full swing before I got the Christmas books out and I wasn’t going to have time to wrap each one I decided to put them in our book basket. Our book basket has been a place for our book books and most read bedtime favorites but for the month of December it will house all of our Christmas books.

Our Christmas Book Basket

I will share multiple pictures and try to list every book that we own. I know that some are very old and were Riley’s when he was a child which might mean they are hard to find or out of print!

Last Minute Ways to Study Advent

December 6, 2018 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

I know I know I know. Advent and Christmas come around once a year pretty much the same week and I should be ready by Thanksgiving, right? Well, I do think about different ways to celebrate Advent and think it’s too early to print off advent activity guides or research advent plans or reading guides. Now we are a few days into Advent and have not begun to start a proper Advent study in any way. Does this sound familiar to you or are you one of these super organized mom’s that have it all planned out..
