🦊Lil Treasures #104: My Foxy Agent and Your Guide to Advent
Also, some new language for deconstruction and Andrew Garfield being an emotional genius.
Cheers to Friday, friends! Happy day-after-Thanksgiving to those of you who are celebrating this week (I know we have some lovely international friends out there as well!) This newsletter will be short and sweet because well, it’s the holidays and I’m still in a food coma to be honest.
I did want to take a chance to tell you once more about my Advent study, Thunder In The Desert, that is starting this Sunday! If you’re still interested in being a part, you can click the button below to subscribe to The Swipe Up+ and get the study sent directly to your Inbox! If you’ve been waiting until the last minute to sign up - the time is now ladies and gents. Can’t wait to walk through Advent with you!
Also, I know it’s the middle of the holiday season and extra funds are scarce, so if it’s not in the cards for you right now financially but you’d still like to participate in the study, send me an email at hello@erinhmoon.com and I’ll get you taken care of! You can also gift a subscription of The Swipe Up+ to a friend for only $6 (you would only have to cover a month since Advent is 4 weeks long!)
Now on to some treasures!
🕯️Now that we’ve got YOUR Advent needs taken care of, let’s do some Advent resources for your kids! She Reads Truth makes these Kids Read Truth conversation cards that are so fun and helpful to walk through with your kids each evening. I’ve also highlighted Little Way Chapel on Instagram before for both her Advent and Lent suggestions, and this year she has a Little Way Bundle with Advent and 12 Days of Christmas printables for kids. If you’re trying to slowly introduce your kids into the liturgical calendar, these are a couple of terrific options to get that process started!
👩🍳 Now that the Christmas season is officially upon us, it’s time for me to try out these apple cinnamon rolls with maple icing from HBH. Give me that cinnamon smell wafting throughout my house while I’m decorating my tree!
💙 Actor Andrew Garfield was on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert earlier this week and shared about the process of grieving over his mother, who recently passed away. The way he talked about grief was incredibly beautiful and cathartic and is forever stamped in my brain. I’ll be honest, I haven’t been an Andrew Garfield fan since I randomly heard he was mean to that kid who dressed up like Batman to fight cancer, which is horrible, to be clear, but this might have redeemed him.
🙄 I also need this pep talk every time I leave my house.
🎁 Last year I gathered some suggestions for ways to support local businesses and shop local during the holiday season, and you guys provided some incredible options. If you’d like to access that spreadsheet or add some new ideas, you can click here! (please note, there are multiple tabs!)
🍽️ FEAST ON THESE TWEETS
Alright pals, that about wraps it up for this holiday edition of Lil Treasures! May your leftovers be hearty, your traveling be safe, and if you’re out there shopping for Christmas treasures this week, may the force (and our Lord) be with you. See you in the comments!
Hi everyone! I’ve been quiet in the comments for many months (family medical situation over the summer/early fall, then life in general). That said, Erin’s weekly email and this group of internet friends continue to be one for which I am incredibly thankful!
Hope everyone had a lovely holiday, whatever that definition is for you. And to our international friends, happy beginning of the winter holidays to you!!
Those HBH apple cinnamon rolls are ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️!!
