The other day I was poking around on some blogs and saw a take on the advent calendar. It was still a few days away from the first of December so I decided I would put one together. I saw this picture on pinterest and used it as my example.
I then went to the store and picked out some items that were inexpensive/we needed in the house/were tasty to eat/good for you/smelled nice. Some things were for Walker and some for me but most we could both enjoy. Examples include chocolates, candles, a nut cracker, and clif bars. I also included a few cute notes for Walker.
I then wrapped them all up, tied them with string, attached a date to each package and hung them up randomly on the hanger. I then hung the hanger in my Christmas corner.
I realize December has started but I’m sharing this at the request of my friend Steph and if you like the idea maybe you can count down the remaining days until Christmas. Have fun!

Hooray! Thanks so much for sharing! I’ve seen a lot of ideas on Pinterest, but yours is by far my favorite. I think I’ll do it for the 12 days of Christmas! 🙂
Miss you, my little lady!
That’s a great idea!
