It may seem to be too early, but I just wanted to let everyone know that for the next 2 weeks or so I am going to do a daily post at my personal blog, A Day of Wonders, featuring a Christmas picture book and activity. I don't want to wait until Thanksgiving break to pull everything together, that's why I decided to start planning now. I'm planning on reading several special Christmas books with my boys during December this year. Each time we read a new book we'll make a special ornament to hang on a little Christmas tree. Every post will provide links to the books as well as links to the ornament ideas we may use. Even if you wouldn't do all the activities as I'm describing, you might get some great gift ideas for children on your Christmas list. Unwrapping a new Christmas book along with materials to make a related ornament would be a wonderful gift to give children of all ages. So click on over and take a peek!
You'll also probably be glad to know that I will soon be ready to start posting Montessori activities again. I've had a wonderfully relaxing summer at home with my boys, but I'm starting to get into the school mind-set again and have been spending a lot of time surfing for new ideas. DH (dear hubby) has been directed to pick up a new pack of white cardstock for me tonight on his way home because I have a bunch more free stuff to print and no more cardstock. Hope you all are having a great summer (if it IS summer where you live..........I know some of you are in the midst of fall/winter)! Take care and I'll write more here soon!

Hello! I too, have been gone from blogland, though for longer than just the summer. I'm back and preparing also and your site was my first stop. I always found such great ideas and what you provide is so wonderful. Looking forward to giving it another go!

Hi -- found you blog hopping from another blog! Have always been interested in Montessori methods! Also have been a fan of Chinaberry since my daughter was born (20 years ago) as well as Hearth Song, and I love to receive Michael Olaf catalogs! Wonderful stuff!
So glad to have found you and look forward to reading more!
