Light of the World Advent Study: A Family Journey Through Scripture, Nature, and Worship

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog5 Comments

Hey friends! I know I’m cutting it close with this, but I’ve worked hard to get this finished before the Thanksgiving holiday, so we would have it ready for the start of ADVENT. It has been a labor of LOVE, and I am so thankful to be able to share this with you.

I have put together this Advent Study to use for our homeschool during the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas. We always try to do some sort of Advent Study, and I wanted to try to put one together… I did just that, and I think it’s going to be AMAZING!

This study can be as simple as like, but we have included:

Scripture & Bible Study

Integrated Learning with lessons:

  • Language Arts
  • Math
  • History
  • Science/Nature
  • Hymns
  • Art
  • Preschool Activities

Family Activities, Reflections, and Prayers

Without further ado, I will post the links to all the parts… I did break this down into weekly units, covers, and a study guide to make it easier for me to save them on the computer and upload… Hopefully, this helps with the download part on your end. We will try to post links and resources as we go through the study so that you can follow along, if you like. The only thing is that you will truly need to FOLLOW the blog to be able to see these posts!

It’s been a bit since I’ve posted any garden updates on the blog… most of them have been going on our YouTube channel so I thought I’d show you what we’ve been up to:

If you haven’t liked and subscribed to the blog or our YouTube yet then please don’t forget to do that today! Some of our future posts will only be visible to subscribers and we’d hate for you to miss out!

We’re still in the middle of celebrating Sukkot so there hasn’t been a lot of gardening happening. I have a pile of plants to get in the ground and even more seeds to scatter around.

We have several beds to build and areas to clean up… then we plan to make another hoop tunnel to grow on for next year.

We’ve also got plans to build a new chicken coop and convert to old on for quail. We would also like to add some rabbits soon… hop little bunnies, hop, hop, hop, and stop… that’s one of Shyanne’s favorite songs.

So many things to get finished but there is only so much time in a day. We just ask God to show us what needs done and ask for the strength and patience to see it through. He provides what we need, when we need it so we consider ourselves extremely blessed.

He will do the same for you, just trust in Him and hand your life over. It’s an amazing experience!

God Bless!

Spring is in the air!

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place BlogLeave a comment

We can see the signs of Spring all around us as the fruit trees and bushes are starting to bloom, the birds are nesting, and our animals are having little ones. We can also see the pollen everywhere but it reminds us that everything is starting fresh and new for the year and it is kind of exciting.

One of the things that the kids always look forward to are these Empty Tomb Rolls at Easter. Since I’ve been studying more about the Holy Days vs Holidays I’m not sure how our Easter will look as I am really leaning more into a Passover celebration. These will still be great to help teach the kids about the resurrection while spending some quality time with them.
