...I {LOVE} Advent calendars!!
And I'm so very excited today because I feel very blessed to share an e-book called--
YAY!! (and insert a Kolton -YEEOW)
Amanda from Oh Amanda and Impress your Kids contacted me last year to do a ebook review but due to a busy doll deadline I missed the window to write a blog post for her. I kept her email in my inbox for a FULL YEAR and recently reconnected with her because this book is simply a MUST SHARE!!
Finding an advent for little ones is hard! Especially one that teaches from the scriptures directly and on a level that young children can relate to and understand! Amanda had this very same issue and created this wonderful ebook! I love it and know you will too!!
{click on the photo to purchase this ebook for only $7.99 --worth EVERY penny!}
I have really enjoyed reading this book and look forward to soaking in the CHRISTmas story for the whole month of December! Our time is precious, so why not spend our time doing an advent that is full of deep meaning!!
One of the things that I love the most is that you read scripture directly from the bible! Amanda was so clever to include daily "clues" (in paper chain word or picture form) that the children open up and look at first. Then as you read your daily scripture passage they are to listen for the "clue" and let you know when they hear it!
Isn't that a great way to help them pay attention?!
Along with the daily scripture the book includes printables and templates to make an ornament craft along with extra conversation points and extension activities! And might I mention that I have made a lot of Christmas crafts in my day...but Amanda has included some CUTE new ideas that I can't wait share with my kids!
Something new that she added this year is the downloadable ornaments!
Use these on days you’re too busy to do a big craft, for toddlers, while you’re at Grandma’s or if you just want to save a little money on supplies! {click on the photo to purchase them for only $3.99)
{LOVE!}
This is the perfect book for kids of any age–from preschool to elementary and I plan on going through it with all four of my children (age 5-13) --I'll let you know how the 13yr old does! ha!
...and if I could mention just one more thing that caught my eye?
The Truth in the Tinsel Church Curriculum! As a Jr. Church teacher I am always keeping my eyes open for a Biblical curriculum to use around Christmas and I was SUPER EXCITED to see this available!

I have not done anything for Advent in years past, but have wanted to, especially since having children. I am planning on trying Truth in Tinsel this year.
We do celebrate Advent. We use a Jesse Tree devotional and nightly prayers and singing of O Come, O Come Emmanuel while lighting candles on an Advent wreath, but am excited to see how Truth in the Tinsel might inspire my little ones! Thank you for the chance to win it!
No but I used to babysit for a family that had a neat advent Christmas tree and I always wanted to do it for my family!
We haven't in the past, but are starting this year with our 3 yo and I am super excited!
We used to celebrate Advent with our godson's family, but haven't for many years now...

We have an advent ornament on the tee ! Each day it reads the story His birth! So cute
We have always done an advent calendar, but I'm excited to try something new this year!
We loved Truth in the Tinsel last year! Very excited about the Church curriculum!
We are doing the Jesse Tree for the first time this year!!
I've never done one but I've always wanted to start.
We have not done Advent, but I hope to start this year. :)
We all talk and thank the Lord for coming for us!
We have typically done the Jesse Tree advent but have been looking for something different. I couldn't wait to see if we would win-I ordered Truth in the Tinsel last week! :0) Would be beyond thrilled to win the BBB doll, though! :) My big girl is still hoping for one! ;)
We make an Advent wreath!
We did advent for the first time last year and yes we are doing it this year!
We have an advent calendar that a family friend made for us. This book sounds amazing. Thanks for the giveaway!

We never did growing up, but my mom gave my daughter a really cool advent calander last year, and I am excited to put it together this year:)
We do an advent every year, but I'm looking forward to a more "holy" advent this year! Sending many blessings!
We love to celebrate Advent each year with crafts, scripture, and fun activities. Truth in the Tinsel sounds like a great resource!
We are using the Jesus Storybook Bible for our advent this year.
We celebrate Advent- would love a book that helps.
Thanks for this giveaway! Always love new advent ideas AND Baby Be Blessed :).
We have tried a new advent activity each year since having kids, because neither of us had a family tradition of celebrating advent. Still trying to find one that really reaches the kids. Maybe this is it!
I would love a doll for my little one due in february! <3
We love the tradition of the ADVENT Calendar! This year our little girl is 4 and instead of having a little gift for each day or treat she has a new Christmas Craft to do and then she picks who she wants to bless with a sweet little gift. So far she has gifted her Pre-K Teacher and one of our New Neighbors. :) I love to see her share her love for the Lord and others!
This looks so cool! Thank you for the giveaway!
I love your Baby Be Blessed dolls! Thank you for this amazing product (and the contest!).
I love your dolls and cannot wait to get one for my daughter one day!
I love Baby be Blessed!
I would love a copy of this book.
I shared!
