Holiday Memory Makers Bundle
Thanksgiving + Christmas & New Year
The holidays go fast. One minute you're carving the turkey, and the next you're sweeping up New Year's confetti and wondering where the whole season went. This bundle gives you a plan for all of it, from the Thankful Tree in November to the Noon Year's Eve countdown on January 1. Both studies are built for the whole table at once — Littles and Bigs learn the same story side by side, each with their own activities, so you're teaching one lesson, not five.

We weren’t taught this. We get to teach our kids, and the only way is by living it.
“My children! My darling, precious children! What I want them to become I must become myself.”
