Christmas ideas are already popping up everywhere. I swear it happens earlier every year,  I won’t be surprised if we start seeing Christmas decorations in June next year! Anyways, since I am a blogger now, I do need to start thinking about the holidays sooner than later. So, as I get started on some fun ideas for our house this year, I wanted to share some great advent calendars I came across this week. Enjoy!

I love this simple blackboard, paper bag, and clothes pin idea from Lovely Things. It’s simply beautiful!

This one is from Pottery Barn, and totally DIY-able. All you need is a pin board, some tags, and ornaments. Everyday your little ones can put a new ornament on the tree.

I like this basic black and white calendar from Ferm Living. I can envision a bunch of fun felt ornaments, and a big felt christmas tree next to it. Sydney would really have a lot of fun decorating her own tree!
