A World without walls
everyday life while homeschooling overseas
Yes, you heard me right. Christmas. I know, I know, it's still early, but when the mail is not very consistent, you have to think far ahead. AND, since getting our shipment, our house is just too full, so we're trying to think of alternate Christmas presents. Instead of more STUFF, we're thinking of new age ideas. Maybe crafts...but then, that's stuff, too. I'd like the kids to get really creative and make things for each other, but I don't know what. I'd love to think of some REALLY cool Christmas gifts that are either anti-clutter, or just take up no space. Any ideas out there? I'd love to hear them!!

You could always go with coupons. Kids could give each other coupons for 1-on-1 time with mom/dad, playing games together, helping with chores, etc. No clutter, and they can personalize it. Maybe not the 'funnest', but Christmas should be more about giving oneself (service) than stuff.

I loved this book. I'm a sucker for fairy tales/fantasy. This was so well written! I can't wait to read all the rest of her books!

I'm reading this one again. I liked it the first time I read it. I'm still liking it for the second time around. I like all of Shannon Hales' books.
