Dear Homeschooling Parent,

Sheila Carroll, LBC owner

My heart-felt mission is to restore the sense of joy in the seasons and festivals. Our children need these times to renew and restore and receive the sense of continuity these traditions provide.

Envision family time focused on the events leading up to the birth of Jesus. Pour over picture studies of the Christmas story in great art, listen to charming folktales that have been part of celebrations for centuries, create a Jesse tree or advent calendar that tells the story of Jesus throughout the Bible, and take time from your homeschool to focus on the things that matter most at this time of year.

In today's culture, it can be challenging to experience these things--even for homeschooling families.

That's why I created the LBC Rediscover Christmas Course.
It's a step-by-step weekly plan for using various resources in your homeschool, family devotions, and leisure time.

Here's what you receive.
20 downloadable...
Living books, audio, picture studies, recipes from homeschooling moms like yourself, music, folktales, and more. Then, we send you help using all these wonderful resources!

Six lessons to help you truly celebrate Christmas
Six weekly lessons leading up to Christmas and beyond to help you use the digital collection and give you inspiration for the journey. Each lesson will give you the tips and explanations you need to make the most of your homeschool time.

Still more...
Guides to create a Jesse Tree, advent Calendar, Story Stocking, and practical projects to help others in need at this time of year (each sent with your weekly lessons).
