Review & Giveaway of Celebrate Jesus: An Advent Journey For Families

(Contains affiliate links.)


I am so excited to share with you my review of Celebrate Jesus: An Advent Resource For Families By Amy Blevins. This advent guide is full of great ideas to celebrate Jesus!

I love how she has everything laid out for you with a daily schedule with daily scriptures, advent candles, activities/crafts, simple treats/recipes, copywork, & more! It is so easy to just open it up to the day you are on & go. That makes life a lot easier since I don't have to sit down & plan out what to do every day! There is also a Master Supply List so you can have everything you need ready beforehand. I have been known to skip things in the past when we come to it & realize "Oops! I didn't realize we needed that so let's just skip it!". All of these crafts are very easy to do & there are also links for coloring pages & songs to go along with the study!

81 page eBook includes:

-Daily Schedule for 24 days (starts Sun., Dec. 1)

-13 Holiday Recipe cards (plus blank ones for you to include your own!)

-24 pages of copywork

-Master Supply List for all activities/crafts

  
(click image above to order your own copy)




Here are a few samples of what we have done so far:

There are some great recipes that we plan on trying as we continue this study. In the book it suggests some simple treats during the study but there are also some great recipes such as Peanut Butter Fudge, Ginger Creams, & even some Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free ones!

All of this is packed into 1 great eBook & for only $4.99!

The kids are loving this study! It really helps us to get into the holiday spirit...especially since here in Florida the weather is still near the 80's!

An Invitation to Review K5 Learning

   K5 Learning has an online reading and math program for kindergarten to grade 5 students.  I've been given a 6 week free trial to test and write a review of their program.  If you are a blogger, you may want to check out their open invitation to write an online learning review of their program. 

Weekly Wrap-Up/Homeschool Mother's Journal

(contains affiliate links. See my Discolsure Policy here.)

  This week we started a few different things. Since Thanksgiving is next week, we have been working on a large Thanksgiving Day Lapbook. It's a mix of a few different lapbooks that I pieced together, The Pilgrims Project Pack, Thanksgiving Day Speedy Lapbook, & Thanksgiving lapbook. This thing took 3 file folders!

  We also watched Squanto and the First Thanksgiving, Told by Graham Greene with Music by Paul McCandless & did some activities from my list of resources. You can find those here.
  Another thing we started this week is Write From Medieval History Level 1. This fits perfectly with our Middle Ages theme this year & the kids love the stories! Watch for my review on this in the next few weeks. It is manuscript for M6 & L8 so to have J12 involved I have her write it in cursive.
  You can see our volcano project that we did earlier this week here.

  The beginning of this week was very exciting for all of us. My baby sis had her 1st baby! A baby girl! We got to visit her Tuesday at the hospital & then went to her place to help get it ready before she came home. She is so tiny!

  Next week we will be doing some more activities from my list of resources, especially since M6 was on a roll & did this whole weeks worth in 2 days! We will also be getting the house more organized for Thanksgiving & of course we can't forget to watch A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving!
