I don't know about you, but I have never actually made an Advent calendar before. Now that my daughter is getting older, it is definitely something I want to start during Christmas with her. I also need quick and easy; as moms we are so busy I think many of us would prefer something quick and easy, but fun and memorable.

    Love these ideas. My kids are out of the making crafts stage, but I still love it. I’m looking forward to sharing this post on Strength2thrive, a ministry for military women and wives. I know there are many moms who will enjoy this. I have liked your page and look forward to more good ideas. Blessings this Christmas.
