November 30th...only one last day until we start the official countdown to Christmas. Break out the advent calendars it is time to open some tiny doors. Who knew there were so many different options for advent calendars!? This year we will be using our traditional chocolate door opening calendar...
...and the countdown my sister made for us.
There will be one new addition to our holiday this year a virtual advent calendar. I am so excited to be participating in a worldwide advent calendar that includes some of my absolutely favourite blogs! For 24 days, 24 different bloggers will be bringing our readers 24 different ways to connect with your families this December. Alissa, from Creative With Kids, came up with the incredible idea to pull together ideas from all over the world!
Here is a look at the schedule of bloggers - the number is the date the blog will be sharing a post.
You will see some familiar names on this list...I have interviewed some of these bloggers on my Friday Kitchen Counter Confidential feature. You have already met Mama Pea Pod, Hands On As We Grow, The Outlaw Mom and Mom to 2 Posh Lil Divas.
I cannot wait to see what these incredible ladies come up with. Each day, over at Creative With Kids, the days activity, and a link to the activity, will be unveiled. If you are super eager and would like to have the activities emailed directly to you each day feel free to follow this link to sign up for daily updates. In the meantime, have a look at the creative blogs that are participating in this calendar with me.
