An Extraordinary Advent

The most extraordinary thing in the world is an ordinary man and an ordinary woman and their ordinary children. — G.K. Chesterton

As a mom, I’ve felt the pressure of “extraordinary” Christmas expectations—decorations in stores by July, endless gift ads, wanting to get everyone the perfect presents. But when my husband shared this Chesterton quote with me, it reminded me that true joy is found in the ordinary moments.

Yes, the ordinary needs more attention these days. Giving attention to the ones right in front of us, and not to the world of screens. Focusing on the things we can create together instead of what we can consume.

My Advent Angel brings that simplicity to your family.

Our huggable, hand-stitched doll, beautifully illustrated book, and Virtue Cards encourage reflection, creative play, and faith-filled moments. Instead of consuming, create lasting memories with your children. This year, make your Advent extraordinary in its ordinariness.
