Well, the official countdown to Christmas has begun in our home! The Advent Calendar hangs on our wall and Snowball our Elf on the Shelf is back from the North Pole with her sweet but mischievous tricks! The girls are absolutely excited with all the fun activities and holiday events going on. This week we will continue to learn about how many families celebrate Christmas and how we all celebrate differently.
A Thoughtful Spot is a place for you to share your amazing family friendly posts, arts & crafts, educational ideas, recipes, and anything fun you can think of! This Blog Hop is inspired by the one and only Winnie the Pooh character in the classic A.A. Milne children storybooks. Brought to you each week by Enchanted Homeschooling Mom, Something 2 Offer, Ironic Adventures, Me and Marie Learning, Montessori Nature, and ABC Creative Learning.
We do hope that you will visit our neck of the magical woods every week and take a quick rest by the tree on the tree stump while you read everyone’s blog posts that they have so thoughtfully shared with all of us. The posts are presented below in no particular order except that the number one bee always gets here first because it is powered by the most “clicks.”
Here are some of my favorites from last weeks link up! Make sure to stop by and check them out 🙂

Here at the Thoughtful Spot Weekly Blog Hop we know how hard everyone works to make the holidays special for their families. As we work hard for our families sometimes we tend to forget about a little time for ourselves here and there. To help make those times we can steal ourselves away for a few quiet moments we would like to offer everyone the opportunity to win a $30 gift certificate to Bath and Body Works. Hopefully you can pamper yourself a little or make that quick quiet moment that much more relaxing after make the holidays special for your loved ones.
