Ten Christmas Treasures for Your Home or Classroom

Happy Holidays!

Isn't this time of year simply delicious? I love when the holidays roll around. Everything from Thanksgiving to Christmas and the New Year excites me. Why? Because it's all about spending time with family and about slowing down the pace of day to day life to enjoy what nature and home has to offer. I love the cooking and especially the baking. I, also, love candy making. I think I must be related to Mr. Wonka. Seriously, because his chocolate factory is this mama's dream! The only thing about this season I don't like is the fact there's just not enough time to do everything I'd love to do. Which brings me to my point. To save you time, I've compiled a list of treasures for your classroom or homeschool, you're sure to love. I hope these resources add joy to your holiday.

1) To get you into the holiday mood and to touch base with other homeschool moms, here's this year's playlist to:
