Amy, thank you so much for inspiring me to be more intentional this Christmas! I didn’t do the Christmas planner like you do but I have really gotten excited about carving out time with my kids along the way leading up to Christmas. I have already been reading short Christmas stories while the kids eat lunch. I ordered a Christmas devotional that I’m excited to do as a family. Also, I looked over some of the links you posted for the Advent boxes and want to put them together this week. Way to go on your bags! I can just feel the excitement! I bet your kids are busting at the seams with anticipation. I’m sorry to hear that you have been sick. You’re such a trooper. So thankful your clan works together as a great team!
Good for you! The children really do look forward to this time of year (so do I)! Have a blessed Christmas!
Thanks for sharing these great resources for Advent. And thanks for hosting the link up!
The Truth in the Tinsel sounds like lots of fun!! Have you ever read Jotham’s Journey or any of the other 2 books by Arnold Ytreeide? They are so good!!! He even has one for Easter.
Thanks for the links! I’ve been wanting something to do with my children for Advent, but I had no idea where to start looking. I’ve already printed one out, and it’s waiting for Advent to start.
“Farmer Boy” is my favorite LHOP story too. I read it year round whenever I get a chance just so I don’t forget how it feels to read a book while I’m waiting for my babies to be school-agers. My mother used a LHOP curriculum for homeschooling when I was younger. She also used McGuffey’s Readers and an old-fashioned Mathematics series that I can’t remember the name of right now
Here is a link for a LHOP curriculum – I believe it is the same one Mother used.

We have the Prairie Primer and love it! I wonder if your mother used Ray’s Arithmetic? It’s an oldie that goes well with McGuffey’s.
Thanks for this list. I can’t wait for my kids to be a little older to start using the Jesse Tree devotional. We have a free advent resource on our site as well. Something I put together for the littler ones. http://www.graceformoms.com/journey-with-us-through-the-advent-season/
Thanks for sharing all these great links!
Thanks for sharing these great links! We have a 3 and 5 year old, and we’ve really been enjoying the free advent devo put out by Thriving Family (Focus on the Family) – it’s called Knowing Him By Name. Each day we talk about a different name of Jesus and what that teaches us about HIm. It’s very simple yet has led to some great, thought provoking discussions for our littles – and encouragement for the adults!
Thanks so much for linking to my Advent Calendar in your post. Just saw that a lot of traffic came from you. I appreciate it!
You are so very welcome!
