November 29, 2011 0

Fall is one of my favorite times of year, the cool crisp air, falling leaves and shorter days call to me to spend time outside with my family. Every fall, I love to focus on seasonal family activities to fill our after school time, savoring as much of this wonderful weather as possible. This year, I wanted to incorporate planet saving activities to our schedule, so I gathered all of my favorite fall activities and added a green twist. Check out my favorite 7 family activity ideas to fill an eco-friendly afternoon.

HOW TO: Make a Simple Eco-Friendly Advent Calendar Using Books

November 29, 2011 0

Sometimes, we get so focused on the actual day of Christmas that we forget to enjoy the whole month of December. An advent calendar is a fun way to celebrate each day of the month, and also get children excited about the upcoming holiday. Right after Thanksgiving I unpack all of our holiday books and place them in a large stack on our coffee table. However, this year I want to make sure that every single one of those books gets read together as a family. So I made a simple advent calendar using these books along with a few others that I picked up from our local thrift store – all holiday themed. This way, we can celebrate each night in December with a new festive bedtime story. Learn how to make this simple, eco-friendly advent calendar for your children.

Does your family celebrate with an advent calendar?
