The Spirit of CHRISTmas

Posted in Christian Life, Family, and Holidays

CHRISTmas really wouldn’t be CHRISTmas without Christ.  God the Son came to earth to be born in a stable.  His first cradle was a manger even though His step-father was an excellent carpenter.  Jesus was willing to become man for us.  Many at the time thought the Messiah would come in and conquer the Romans and free the Jews of persecution.  Instead, He entered the world in a very unassuming way.  He was on His way to giving us the ultimate CHRISTmas gift – our salvation, our eternal salvation. While I know that the Messiah most likely wasn’t actually born…

2010 Christmas Tree

Posted in Family, and Holidays

I use to be the one to decorate the tree. I had fun decorating it “just so”. Once Munchkin was old enough, she joined in on the decorating. Now, she has taken over the responsibility of decorating the tree. It’s not something that I had planned as I do enjoy it. It’s something that she enjoys so much that I allow her to have free reign on decorating the tree. After the tree is up, Munchkin starts the process of setting up the train.  Due to the location of the tree last year, she wasn’t able to set it up…

If I Wrote a Note to God…

Listening to beautiful, soulful music can help quiet our hearts and minds. With the holidays upon us, we need to make sure we take time to be still and listen to the Lord. We don’t want to miss His guidance and comfort in our lives because we were too busy to listen. We need to listen to the Lord and…

Fuzzy Sock & Bath Scrubby Cupcakes

Posted in Homemaking

As I was looking at some of the gifts that I will be giving this year, I decided that I wanted to figure out a unique way to package the fuzzy socks and the bath poofs/sponges.  While I was trying to think of ideas, I came across the diaper cake and thought that I would try to make cupcakes from the socks and sponges. First, I cut out some cupcake wraps using decorative scissors for the top of the wrapper.  I just used some scrap paper and cardboard from some packaging that was being tossed out.  It had a cute…

Basket of Christmas Books

Posted in Holidays, and Homeschooling

Each year, I fill up a basket with all of our Christmas books.  Every day we read a different book from our collection until all of the books are gone.  When Munchkin was younger, I would wrap up the books and number them to use as a countdown to Christmas day.  Now, Munchkin just picks a book out of the basket. I try to add new books to our collection each year by picking them up during the after Christmas sales.  Many Christian bookstores offer 50%-75% off their books after Christmas. Do you have any favorite Christmas books? This post…
