There are 25 activities on this list, but that doesn't mean they need to be done each day! Feel free to even just pick a few and try to do those. A list like this can be overwhelming, so I have a little note in each drawer of Owen's Advent calendar with the name of that day's activity, but I'm reserving the right to switch them around to fit our schedule and mood. And there is a great possibility we might do two activities in one day, and that we might do some twice!

So many great ideas! I think I might just borrow your list and add it to our advent plans! Love that you included lots of things to do for others too. Happy almost Thanksgiving, friend!
What an amazing list! Already bookmarked for future reference!
Been googling mini-pie crust recipes & your fits the bill-Thanks for this-I'm going to try fresh apples & the crumb topping-was looking for heat and cook time-so this recipe is the perfect guideline for me to create a nice & easy dessert for Thanksgiving.
