Ugh!...I've been having a bit of insomnia off and on. Usually when I fall asleep at LO's bedtime. Still a bit of leftover sleeplessness from the loooong nursing days.<br /> Why do you have to put them in a day in advance? :) Guess you have to set a reminder to do it everyday, huh? I would probably forget!<br /> Haha, thanks! Shoprocrastinate is a great word on paper but never attempt to say it out loud. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chocolate-advent-calendar#post-1220791 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 09:29:13 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1220791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@808love: it is like 4 am for you! Love the word "shopcrastinate"!</p> <p>We learned last year that in the wooden ones, you have to put the treats in only.a day or so ahead. Kind of a pita! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chocolate-advent-calendar#post-1220787 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 09:25:54 +0000 808love 1220787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it will be so fun! I did this when I was really young and someone in recent years brought me one from Switzerland and it was so good. LO loves chocolate so a little bit a day will be fun.</p> <p>Oh I'd love to do a homemade one some year when I'm up for it but I guess I'd have to plan way in advance. Those wooden ones are beautiful. </p> <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I couldn't sleep and now I'm doing some consulting work which means my head is swirling in science curriculum in these wee hours. (After I shoprocrastinated for a bit.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chocolate-advent-calendar#post-1220769 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 09:14:14 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1220769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You are up early this am @808love: !</p> <p>We have a wooden advent calandar where we add our own treats. Usually there are some sweets, but most days it's a little toy or raisins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chocolate-advent-calendar#post-1220755 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 09:01:37 +0000 QueensBee 1220755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved those calendars as a kid!! I often ate my chocolate first thing in the morning. Can you tell I have a sweet tooth? :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chocolate-advent-calendar#post-1220708 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 08:33:59 +0000 HLK208 1220708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: that's what I want to do too! </p> <p>Maybe I was a picky kid but the chocolate in these always tasted bad to me (or maybe my parents just bought cheap advent calendars!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chocolate-advent-calendar#post-1220698 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 08:28:34 +0000 Smurfette 1220698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I buy one each if our 4 nephews each year. Their parents are ok with it since they are 3-7. Not getting LO one since she is 8 months. I am actually going to make one to use year after year and will out different treats in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chocolate-advent-calendar#post-1220654 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 07:37:14 +0000 808love 1220654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone getting one this year for LO? It will be our first time. This one looks awesome. 8 oz of chocolate total. Wrapped chocolate and scripture behind every window they open.<br /> ETA: here's the actual one I was talking about and ordered. I made a mistake earlier in my sleepless stupor.<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001I2IYNY/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001I2IYNY/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1</a> </p> [attach=1524/13/mwd1s6.375x247.41UB1iTh7XL.jpg] [attach=1524/13/mwd1s8.385x600.advent-2.jpg]
