Happy Christmas week! Praying for all you mamas Happy Christmas week! 

Praying for all you mamas out there to truly focus on Jesus this week. I am praying over my week with my kids that I can focus on Him and not let all the details bog me down and stress me out. I have already fallen short of this…. but Christ!! Look to Him! 

I just posted a list of 25 Handmade Christmas Gift ideas over on wonderandtower.com if you are looking for some last minute gift ideas. I have made almost all of these over the years, and I think they would all be meaningful projects to make with your kids as well. Projects like these allow me to slow down and cozy up. I like to pray for the recipient while I create, and it really can be a sweet time ❤️

🎄 Simple Kid-Made Christmas Gift Idea 🎄 Rev 🎄 Simple Kid-Made Christmas Gift Idea 🎄

Reversible Fabric Coasters!

This helps teach basic sewing, and I love that it’s a really sustainable gift option by using thrifted cotton shirts!

To Make: 
- Make a square using some cardboard.
-Trace and cut out squares from fabric.
-Place two squares right sides together and pin them together. 
-Sew around all the edges, leaving an opening in the middle of one edge.
-Flip the squares inside out and iron well. 
-Sew along the the sides, making sure to close the hole. 

That’s it! We loved using two different Christmas-themed patterns 🎄
"The Almighty appeared on earth as a helpless huma "The Almighty appeared on earth as a helpless human baby, needing to be fed and changed and taught to talk like any other child. The more you think about it, the more staggering it gets. Nothing in fiction is so fantastic as this truth of the Incarnation." -J.I. Packer
