December first arrived, time to use our candy ribbons!!
The children take off one hershey kiss each night as a way to countdown to Christmas. This is something me and my sisters did when we were growing up, so my kids are second generation candy ribboners!
My family had a large felt Christmas tree that my mom had sewn and decorated by hand with beads and sequins. Then she made a Christmas ornament for each day that we would get to pin on the tree. She doesn't seem to know what happened to that tree. This year, a good friend of mine bought chocolate advent calendars for my family. It has been fun opening a new one each day.
Considering Homeschooling? Wondering where to begin?

I am a happy wife and christian homeschooling mother of 5 children, ages 15, 13, 12, 9, and 7. We are in our 11th year of homeschooling. We are currently rejoicing in a new job for my husband after a long journey of unemployment and short term jobs! When I am not taking care of my family or teaching my children you can find me reading, gardening, baking, or watching movies with my husband. Jesus Christ is the love of my life and my chief aim is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever!
