Fun and creative way to teach children about CHRISTmas.

I am always looking for fun, creative ways to teach our children about why we, as a family, celebrate CHRISTmas. I want them to truly know who Jesus is. I want them to know how His birth was celebrated by some and feared by others. I want them to know the importance of His birth.

A couple years ago Heart FELT Truth contacted me about their Easter Banners. I thought they were so creative and very well made. Recently, I decided to look into Heart FELT Truth again, and I was so excited to see they now have a Heart FELT Truth's Pocket Advent Calendar.

Here is it -

If you go to the Heart FELT Truth blog, you will read how she personally uses the advent calendar with her own family. She wants to make sure it works before she shares it with all of us.

If you go to THIS page, you will see patterns and instructions on how you can make your own advent calendar. If you'd rather not cut out all those pieces, visit the Heart FELT Truth's Etsy page to either purchase a DIY kit or purchase an Advent Calendar that is already complete. She has as wide variety to choose from.

Heart FELT Truths has graciously offered all my readers 10% their Etsy shop when you use coupon code PURPOSEFULCHRISTMAS. Coupon expires November 20, 2013.

Zipzicles review and giveaway!!

A couple weeks ago I received a package of Zipzicles to try out and review. I must say, I was super excited. You can read about how Zipzicles was started here. This summer my children and I attended VBS at our church. Since our church is a 30 minute drive and VBS ran from 8:30-12:30, I knew that I would need to pack their lunches. I attempted to make my own Zipzicle type packaging but it did not turn out well at all. I didn't take pictures because no-one needs to witness how bad they were. So, a couple months ago I found Zipzicles and wanted to give them a try. It is such a simple idea and I cannot believe no-one thought of them sooner. One of the things I like most (besides being super convenient) is that the packages are BPA free and recyclable! I also like that I know exactly what my kids are eating because I make it myself. Okay, so here is what I did. I made smoothies and put them in the Zipzicle packages. I am a big fan of tropical smoothies. Here I have coconut milk...

Vintage Christmas Wonderland - Review

When I was contacted a few weeks ago and asked if I would review a newly released Christmas album, I couldn't type fast enough to respond and say YES! Christmas is, by far, my favorite time of year. When I received the Cds, they were wrapped in beautiful burlap and ribbon and decorated with a sparkly snowflake. Along with the Cds, there was a personal handwritten note. It was so sweet and just made the entire experience of this review scream vintage. Vintage Christmas Wonderland by David Ian has a smooth jazzy sound that takes you back to the days when life was less complicated. When I was contacted to review the album, it was described to me as " It's reminiscent of the Charlie Brown Christmas album and meant to bring warmth to the season!". I can tell you, that is a perfect description. While listening to Vintage Christmas Wonderland, I felt like putting up my Christmas tree just so I could plug in the lights and watch them glow. I felt like starting a ...
