Many of you are aware we were experiencing technical difficulties with the webinar software last week. Unfortunately, the difficulties delayed the launch of our first educational Webinar “Mentoring Our Own.” Well, after struggling all weekend with that software we had to step back and evaluate things further. The result of this is that we will not be using that software anymore. In fact, we will be doing things a lot differently. We believe that this is a good thing.

We have spent a lot of time these last few days looking into and discussing various ways to do our webinars. From using a different webinar program, to phone conference calls, and in the end we decided against using any of those options. Instead, let me explain how we plan to do things. Each of our webinars we will pre-record and then upload onto a secure unconnected page on our website. When you order we will email you the url link to access our webinar as well as your supplemental pdf document.

The beauty of doing it this way is that we are able to keep our overhead low, which equates to low cost per each webinar for you. Additionally, this means that instead of only being able to access our webinars for a day or two you will be able to do so permanently. The drawback is this makes a live question and answer session out of the question. We value your feedback as well and desire to address any important question you may have pertaining to our webinars. Because of this we invite you over the 72 hour period following the launch of each webinar to send us any feedback and or questions to Donna@princessacademies.com or Julia@princessacademies.com. We will review any and all questions and then do an audio recording addressing the top questions asked and post it the following Monday on the same page as the webinar is posted. 

Do you sometimes feel that in the hustle and bustle of Christmas parties, shopping, presents and decoration that the real reason for the season gets lost? Have you been looking for ways to have a more Christ centered Christmas?

As a young mother I wanted to start family traditions that focused more on Christ. We started having a Christmas devotional each night before Christmas in December. This has been a family tradition for nearly 20 years. We have now made this available to others.

The 24 Days of Christmas Devotional is a Christ centered anthology of scripture, quotes, carols, stories, traditions, and art. We have had a family tradition, for over a decade, of an evening Christmas devotional, each night throughout December. 24 days of KJV Bible based content designed to be used as a daily devotional to focus our hearts and minds on Christ and Christmas. Each day's content includes a: -scripture -quote -poem, song, or hymn -inspirational story -classic nativity or Christmas painting.  There is also is a section on Goff and Groves Family Christmas Traditions 128 page booklet!

The devotional is customizable to your family's needs.  If you have a minute or two or children with short attention spans just read the daily scripture at one of the family meals. If you have a minute more add the quote. What if you have five minutes, then add the poem and Christmas carol.  If you would like a wonderful way to start or end the day and have perhaps 10 minutes or more, include the stories. Some are very short and others are a chapter from a classic story. This is a tradition that can grow with your family.

Here is where to find the devotional http://store.princessacademies.com/p/14/family-devotionals  Yes, this tradition was so wonderful for our family, we created devotionals to celebrate other holidays, as well.
