Favorite New {Modern} Christmas Books 2012 {Read-Aloud Thursday}
So this year, I’ve decided to go modern with our new favorite Christmas story post. We are picking popular new-ish books. First up, It’s Christmas, David!

So last week, I had mentioned that I am now on the Homeschool Review Crew.

Final Post & Announcement {Get Healthy & Fit}
I haven’t posted in a few weeks but it’s not because I’ve necessarily flaked out. If you haven’t noticed the sideways mention in a few posts last week, we are expecting another baby. The whole first trimester pretty much threw me for a loop :). Too tired to exercise and for the last few weeks, […] Read more…
First Week of Advent 2012
Advent Wreath As usual, we are putting up our Advent Wreath beginning today and will light a candle with dinner each night. Well, the girls and I tend to eat pretty early and WAY before Bones gets home, so maybe at lunch, too :). I’m also participating in Sarah’s annual Advent Wreath link up. […] Read more…
