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! Some of the Christmas books are newer bought as gifts or given to use for book reviews but either way we love them!

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..
