Advent Calendar DIY Ideas for Kids

from All for the Boys 

'via Blog this'  Take a look. Some great ideas here. And an Advent calendar is NOT a December calendar. The first Sunday in Advent is four Sundays before Christmas. It is a time to prepare for the celebration of Christ's birth as Emmanuel, God with us.

I will write more about Advent with grandkids in November. This just popped up as I was looking at the website All for the Boys to find activities to do with our 3-yr.-old grandson who will be staying with us for 5 days in November, for the very first time, by himself!

I'm Nana to Three

My initial post on my new blog! This blog will be my place to reflect, remember, rejoice, ruminate. I want to write about my now life, about the little and big things that make an impression on me. My intention is to not deal with topics that don't have to do with children, parenting, grand-parenting, and families. So no politics, unless they immediately affect the previous! Which many political issues do but I'm going to ignore them.

I have been reading a couple other 'grandmother' blogs. Two of them I've listed below. I'm sure I'll find others I like and will share them when I find them! Just to be clear, I am writing this more for me, and for my family, than for recognition, awards, etc. This will be pretty simple compared to many.

Currently working on settings, design, etc. Can't seem to get the post text to what I want---smaller. I will keep tweaking it all!
