Happy December! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are definitely in the Christmas spirit! Here are some highlights!

We traveled a lot over Thanksgiving, and honestly this week I've been so, so tired, but I'm so thankful that we have family to visit and the ability to visit them! I got to go Black Friday shopping with my mom and sis-in-law. Though I have no pictures to document, we had a great time and just took it at our own pace. No crazy lines for us!

Sarah's book, The Glorious Ordinary, launched this week! It is a wonderful book Bible study about walking through life one day at a time. It's practical and meaningful, and I think you will love it. You can get the Kindle version here or pre-order the hard copy here! It would also make a great Christmas gift!

I think many of you will agree with me that sometimes our kids are inundated with stuff! Lots of people have no-toy gift guides, and today I wanted to share a fun non-toy gift idea with you.

Ben the Rooster is a service targeted for kids ages 2-8. Ben sends two postcards each month about his life on the farm, and each postcard comes with a stamped postcard designed for sending a reply. Instead of gifting a toy a child may quickly outgrow, Ben the Rooster offers the chance to give a fun and interactive gift (that also helps the special little reader in your life), well after Jan. 1. Ben's holiday package is a six-month subscription to his postcards and includes a 2017 coloring calendar. It's $36.00, and you can find more information here.

I can't wait for our boys to get their Ben the Rooster mail. They are always wondering if something in the mail is for them, and now there will be!

I'm also excited because Ben the Rooster and I are teaming up to give away one holiday package to a lucky ByBMG reader!
