OK friends, so my wonderful mother (who helped with this before and after project) actually wrote this book! I told her I’d be delighted to review it and she said she’d be happy to give one of my readers a free copy!
It has some very fun Christmas craft ideas (hey, my craftiness has to come from someone – right?) Sheep sugar cookies, and a faux gingerbread nativity (in which my daughter told me was SO MUCH FUN) are just a few.
It even comes with a classical music Christmas CD. (dare I tell you that I am on that CD playing violin and singing??)

A lot of the book talks about the true meaning of Christmas and that the word “Advent” actually means the coming or arrival (of the birth of the Christ-child) With the book she shows you how to easily set up an advent centerpiece and join the tradition of the church through the ages. Of course along the way you also build family traditions and nurture faith in your children (or grandchildren’s) heart!
You can find out more information on her website http://www.familypearls.org/. Price is 19.95 + 3.00 SH (includes the CD with the book)
*Please make sure you are a following of mine (any way you want!)*

What a wonderful idea to write about! I belong to a small MOPS group, and I would love a copy to put in a basket to pass along to one of our moms!
