What's in store for December....Fun Fun Fun!

This year I am changing things up a bit. We are traveling to Four different countries for the Month of December and finding how others celebrate the Christmas Holiday. You can find a great program over at Living Life Intentionally for celebrating Christmas Around the World. We are using a portion of this great program in conjunction with our Little Passports. Typically we will learn about 1 country per month with Little Passports but since I have so many country packs already I am incorporating these two programs together!

I have picked the following countries to explore:

China

Mexico

Argentina

India

In addition we found a great Winter Bucket List over at Education.com already filled up for us! We will be using this until the beginning of April. Hope to get it all checked off!

I am working on several parties for the kids. We will be hosting our Annual Children's Book Exchange Party as we do each year. Here is a peek from last year's party! This year's theme is "A Charlie Brown Christmas" !

Looking forward to a lot of family time...parties....and crafting!

I invite you to check back each week for exciting happenings as we travel to other countries (virtually) and celebrate Christmas all month!

Be Blessed!

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
