No-Prep, start right now, Advent Ideas for Families

It’s never too late to begin an Advent plan! Find no-prep, start-right-now, ideas for moms and families!

Every singly year, I have ​really​ good intentions of choosing an Advent reading plan for me and activities for the kids ahead of time, but somehow Advent always sneaks up on me.

It’s easy to feel like throwing in the towel before you even begin, but I urge you not to. You are never too late to begin.​

​I’ve shared favorite Advent resources every year, but this year’s list focuses on Advent ideas you can begin right now!

• My friend Jessica, from Gather & Grow, started a new podcast — Bloomtown Faith — with 5 minute family devotions you can listen to!! This month’s is, of course, Advent focused. Find the information here.
• Truth in the Tinsel :: I love the simplicity of the printable ornaments, and there’s even a printable tree!!

• Focus on the Family’s A Countdown to Christmas is a 23-day Scripture reading plan. Each day kids will receive a new object or Bible character to create their own Nativity scene.
