July seems to be a great month for super sales on things that people will gift at Christmas. It gets me all excited because Christmas is my favorite holiday. So July being the 6 month countdown makes me bubble with excitement! Now that Bekah is old enough to understand Christmas, it makes me even more excited to introduce all of my childhood traditions and making new memories and traditions with her.
The hottest Christmas tradition now is the elf on the shelf. Now there are so many opinions in this new phenomenon. I love the idea of it. I can make this tradition into what would be best for our family!
Another tradition I have discovered in the last year is the Truth in the Tinsel advent curriculum. We bought the church curriculum for our EBC kiddos to work through and it turned out great! It brought a whole new light to the Christmas Story.
So this idea came to me! What if I combined these two great ideas? My plan is to purchase the Truth in the Tinsel ebook from www.truthinthetinsel.com and have Bekah's new girl elf introduce each daily truth to her! What better way for us to incorporate worldly traditions with our Faith!
I can't wait to get started and prepare for the soon to be upcoming Holiday season!
Merry Christmas in July from our family to yours!

My Baptist Lent Adventure...
A group of young ladies are into week 4 of our Beth Moore's Daniel study. WOW God is surely moving within my heart! At the beginning we were encouraged to give something up like Daniel gave up the King's Choice foods. He ate only fruits and veggies. My original something was to not buy books. I LOVE buying books, so that has helped my pocketbook a lot! But the more and more I think about it, I feel God is leading me to a different challenge.
Most people know I am not a housekeeping wife...i actually detest it! My husband can vouch for that! So when every one on Facebook has been talking about giving things up for lent, it got me thinking. Why can't Baptist give up something to prepare our hearts for Easter. AND, it would help me more with my Daniel study.
Of course Pinterest gave me the perfect solution for this project that will help get rid of the clutter I keep and make my husband happy at the same time!...40 bags in 40 days!
I've read so many things about it. I was very intimidated by it at first because not all areas of my house need a huge black garbage bag. One lady suggested using grocery bags for those small areas! Great idea that will help me out and those days I don't have a lot of time, can be easily done after Bekah goes to bed! It mentions to not focus on the "container" as the spot you are bagging up! It even mentions furniture! So my options are limitless
So here goes nothing...my Baptist Lent Adventure...40 Bags in 40 Days!
