A little bit about Lisette.....

Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest I feel most alive surrounded by trees and breathing in the fresh mountain air.

When I am not working you will most likely find me spending time outdoors, volunteering with my church and exploring this beautiful planet with my family. 

This is my place to share my passion for life and to encourage you to take time to find the extraordinary in your life.

Easy D.I.Y. Christmas Advent

Easy D.I.Y. Christmas Advent

Each Holiday season I like to create an advent calendar. The focus is not necessarily a countdown to Christmas, rather a tool to help us enjoy the season. This year I took twenty five mini craft paper boxes and filled them with slips of paper listing an activity we can do together as a family. Then I glued a little bottle brush tree on top and tied it up with a ribbon. 

Some of the activities include:

  • delivering treats to our neighbors
  • watching ELF
  • walking around the neighborhood to look at Christmas lights
  • making Peanut Butter blossoms
  • inviting friends over for a festive meal
  • making homemade marshmallows and hot chocolate
  • wrapping presents
  • reading Christmas stories
  • go to Zoo Lights

Supplies you will need:

  • ribbon
  • bottlebrush trees
  • scissors
  • tacky glue
  • slips of paper
  • pen
