OH my goodness--that is adorable. I think it's too late this year, but I'm totally copying that for next year!
It's the first! It can't be too late. ;)
I have thought many times about hanging up envalopes in a line and sewing them together on my sewing machine so it makes a banner or bunting that the kids can pull one off per day through advent. Or even a paper chain where you write it all on the inside of each paper chain? That would be cute and of course, SUPER cheap!

I have been looking for this! I remember you talking about it last year...and sooo glad you put it up this year. While it is late (in the year) and early (for my kids to remember) I won't be utilizing the cute pockets this year. I have to remember to plan ahead for next....
BUT I am so glad you wrote down the daily tasks. Instead of just getting a treat to help countdown, I adore that you wrote down tasks. Such great ideas (and I think it makes sure you don't forget anything!).
Hope I see you around my blog too....hint hint....

What a terrific list, and such a cute way to do an advent calendar! Your children are lucky to have a parent who cares so much about their education, and their upbringing.
Happy holidays.
