Advent Activities

By

Do you participate in a Countdown-to-Christmas? Each year we prepare a countdown chain (including a link for Eli's birthday which is on the 22nd). On the chain I provide activities for us to do as a family each day, doing things such as baking, watching Christmas movies, seeing Christmas lights, etc. The kids look so forward to tearing off a link of the chain each day and doing the fun activity!

This year I wanted to make sure I included some specific Advent activities, as well. So in place of our normal morning Bible lessons, we will be using Thriving Family's "Adventures in Odyssey Advent Activity Calendar". There are simple and meaningful activities to do each day with your children to help them focus on the real meaning of Christmas. Each day starts with a Bible reading and continues with the object lesson.

    I posted my 25 keeping Christ in Christmas books. While my youngest is past the picture book phase she says she still loves all these books and looks forward to them. http://lettersnumbersandbooksohmy.blogspot.com/2013/12/25-books-of-christmas-keeping-christ-in.html

A New Year, the Same Me

By
Happy 2019! It is that day of the year where everybody is up extra early starting their new exercise routine, eating only healthy foods, cracking open the pages of a new planner and Bible study, and debuting their Word for the year. You chuckle or roll your eyes, but you are doing at least three of these things. By the way, so am I. So let's start with the Word of the Year. Mine this year is Lagom. It's the Swedish word for "not too little, not too much, just right". It's a concept of being, doing or having just enough. So let's rewind to last New Year's Day. My Word was Might. And that's how I planned to tackle my year. And, I did. I worked out hard, I mommed hard, I traveled hard, I worked hard. And it was a good season. It prepared the way for this year. I accepted the Challenge I set for myself and succeeded. But, I don't need to keep up that pace. I am at a place in my life where I can kind of sit back and enjoy my life without f...

Science Sunday ~ Hmmm ... Let Me Think About It!

By
This week in our study of the Human Body , Brynne moved on to the Nervous System . Our first stop was a Pamela Hill Nettleton book called, Think, Think, Think: Learning About Your Brain . As part of our discussions about the brain , and the fact that it's the BOSS of the body, we discussed the importance of the spinal cord . We did a hands on spinal cord project by alternating gummy Life Savers and wagon wheel pasta on a pipe cleaner. We talked about why there was the "squishy" stuff in between the vertebra and how the back can bend and sway because of it. We completed "The Brynne" by adding the stomach, small intestine and large intestine, from our study last week of the Digestive System (although I just realized I have the large intestine coming out of the stomach, when the small intestine should be) and the brain and spinal cord. We are now done talking about the parts of the body and will conclude our study of the Human Body with a two-day unit ...
