With Christmas coming this week and our family taking a break from school, I’ll be a bit scarce around the blog world. There will be an occasional post, but we’ll be spending time enjoying Christmas together and then gearing up for the next school quarter.

There is lots of planning, printing and creating to do for the next few months and I need to focus on getting it all together. I also have some books in my stash that I want to focus on reading as we gear up for the rest of the school year.

I pray you all have a WONDERFUL Christmas with your family and are able to rest and enjoy your time together!!

A reader passed along this deal from Molly Green and I thought you all might be interested as well. The Old Schoolhouse Store is offering the ENTIRE Molly Green library for $49 and allowing you to share it with a friend ~ that means you can split the cost between friends or give a copy as a gift. This is normally almost $240 in product, so it’s a huge savings!

This is all that is included in the Molly Green Collection:

• 36 Molly’s Money Saving Digests E-Books ($178.20 value)
• E-Book: In the Kitchen With Molly ($7.95 value)

You can use it as curriculum or a reference library for your entire family. For the next few days, it’s only $49 and you can give a whole copy of ALL of it to your mom for Christmas (or any ONE friend you want). You both get it. Once you download the files, save them to a disc, and wrap as a gift or print them and make a special gift for one friend.

I’m not sure the exact end date on this deal, but do know that it only had a one week ‘life’. Just wanted to pass it along to you all! :)

Over the last few days I’ve been browsing through the World Vision Gift Catalog and have been truly overwhelmed. The thought that a seemingly small gift on my part could have such an impact on a family half a world a way is pretty amazing.

Fruit trees. Seeds. Medicine. Clean Water. Things that we so often take for granted, but things that can make a huge difference in the life of another person and family.

And the video below just makes me smile.

{Blog feed readers, click here to see the video clip}

Chickens. Goats. Sheep. Rabbits. Pigs….and so much more.

Because we’ve had such fun with our own chickens this year, we’re going to give chickens {and hope that other kids enjoy them as much as ours have!}.
