On Wednesday, I hosted a giveaway exclusively for my blog's Facebook page. If you haven't liked my page yet, you can do it here:
This year I mistakenly thought that since Thanksgiving is falling so late in the month, I would have time to check off my to-do list slowly and methodically and that I would enter the holiday season feeling on top of things. Instead, my time feels a precious as ever. As jealously as I have guarded my days, I found that every one this week was jam-packed with activity. Haircuts, post office, grocery shopping, gym class, school work, library, running... The beds needed clean sheets, the bathroom floor needed a good scrub, and tomorrow we are hosting Brian's family's Thanksgiving get-together at our house so extra cleaning and baking responsibilities were added to my list.
This much busyness is outside of my comfort zone, but instead of fighting it, I've decided to embrace it for this season. It makes for a more joyful family when we can accept our responsibilities instead of grumble about them.
As we approach December, I'm pondering ways to keep our focus on the meaning of our celebrations. That's why I'm excited to give away a copy of Truth in the Tinsel eBook to one of my readers.
Truth in the Tinsel will guide your family through each day of December with a passage of Scripture, discussion questions, and an ornament craft. If a craft a day sounds too overwhelming, you can purchase printable ornaments to color for only $3.99 (not included in the giveaway). Truth in the Tinsel was written for preschool and early elementary school children, but any child who can color or likes crafts would enjoy the book. To view a sample page of the eBook, click here.
The eBook is $7.99, but if you use coupon code FROMMYLIFE20, you will receive 20% off of your purchase. (Curriculum and the printable ornaments are excluded.) If you make a purchase and then win the giveaway, your eBook purchase will be refunded.
To enter for your chance to win, fill out the Rafflecopter form below. Giveaway ends Tuesday, November 26 at midnight.
We're already making plans for Christmas. We have most of our gifts planned out, but we're sitting down this week to fill in our December calendar. Thankfully, we don't have many outside engagements to worry about. We'll mainly focus on our advent activities and finishing up our homemade gifts.
