😖What Am I Feeling? 😁 Looking for a tool to get your little ones talking about their feelings? Would a faith-based resource be even better? Check out "What Am I Feeling? By Christi and Josh Straub. This book helps little ones identify emotions and affirms that God cares about our feelings. When we are dealing with BIG emotions we can give those to God and ask him to help us. You can read the full review on the blog. Link in bio. . 😖😁😭😊😄😟😤😰😠 How do you help your little one manage big emotions?

🍽Egyptian Food❤ If you missed it, this month we are learning about and praying for the country of Egypt. . ..... We are blessed to have an Egytian restaurant in our neighborhood, so of course had to visit (we actually go there quite often. It's a favorite). If you are in the Twin Cities you must check out Aida, it is delicious! . ..... Naomi loves the lollipop chicken (kid style chicken shawarma). My husband likes the beef Shawarma. I recommend their falafel. And anyone could probably guess that Vale loves their bread! . ..... 🍽Have you ever had Egytian food? What's your favorite?

❤Intentionality and Rhythms ❤ Activities are great! I love finding a fun game that can engage my little ones with the Word of God. I figure, if we know that little ones learn from play, why not set the table for them to learn about the BEST things. . ..... However, activities are not always practical. Let's be real, dying rice does not bring everyone joy. And for many of us who are coming home from a long day of work, setting up an activity might be more chaos than it's worth. My point is, we all have our own rhythms. The way we do life. In our family, we generally need something to do to help pass the day (the days are long, and the years are short....but the days are still long😂). Those are apart of our rhythms. However, that may not work for your family. That is OK! There are a lot of right ways to share the Gospel with your little ones. Jesus was not about our religiosity, so let's not fall victim to that vicious trap. . ..... So, instead, here's my intention: Find a way to have one conversation about Jesus in our family everyday. That may mean doing an activity. Or that may mean listening to a Podcast on the way to the grocery store. It may be having a praise party to get the wiggles out. It may simply be reading from our Storybook Bible before bed. My hope in sharing what we do is to inspire you into intentionality, to make Christ apart of your life with your little ones. They need it, and even more so we need it. . ..... ❤What is one way you can intentionally share Jesus with your littles this week?

❤5 Things About me!❤ Oh Hey! It's been a while since I did an introduction, and with so many new people around I figured it's about time. I'm Kayla, the mama behind the Baby Devotions. I'm married to the best husband and papí, Fabian. And our littles are Naomi (1 year-old) and Valentina (Vale, almost 3, and didn't want her picture taken 🤷‍♀️). And here are 5 fun facts about us: . ..... 1. My husband is from Mexico 🇲🇽 so we are striving to raise our girls bilingual. I am always on the hunt for Spanish resources, and you will frequently see Spanish in my feed. . ..... 2. We live in the Twin Cities (Minnesota, USA). It snows ALOT here, you may see me cry about it on occasion. . ..... 3. I have a degree in Social Work, and before I was a SAHM I worked in social services. . ..... 4. I love coffee and drink it black☕. My mom bought me this shirt that says "may your coffee be stronger than your toddler." . ..... 5. Fabian and I met salsa dancing 💃. We used to dance almost daily, but kids have slowed us down. . ..... Don't let me do all the talking! Tell me about you! Where are you from? Anything we relate on? I'll be having a Q&A up in my stories 👆So be sure to check that out.

❤Good Friday❤ Today is Good Friday, when we observe Christ's death on the cross. . ..... While we were reading the story, Vale made note: "Jesus had an 'owie.'" "Yeah, he did have an 'owie.'" I replied. Vale paused. "Did he want a bandaid?" Her observation stopped me. "I think he probably did." . ..... Her question was so simple, holding all the innocence of childhood. However, it made me reflect on something deeper: Jesus was human. The God of the cosmos put on flesh. He lived among us. Walked among us. He became one of us, so that he could become the sacrifice of humanity. . ..... "And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit."(Matthew 27:50). And creation sighed, because it was finished. The weight of sin that barred humanity from relation with its Father had been lifted. "The veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, and the graves were opened." (Matthew 27:51-52). But the story wasn't over. . ..... "Porque de tal manera amó Dios al mundo, que ha dado a su Hijo unigénito, para que todo aquel que en él cree, no se pierda, mas tenga vida eterna." Juan 3:16 . ..... P es para Pascua Christ did not just die to atone for sins. He died to be resurrected, and bring us with him. Into new life. Eternal life. Life more abundant. . ..... On this Good Friday, let us grieve for the weight of our sin. The destruction it causes. The death. But let us have hope that this is not the end. Sunday is coming.

❤Resurrection Rolls!❤ Who else loves these tasty treats? 🙋‍♀️ They are so simple, but create such a great illustration of the Resurrection. . ..... What you need: 🥐Store bought crescent rolls (you know the scary kind you have to unwrap and pop without notice 😖😂) 🍡And Marshmallows . .... Just wrap the Marshmallow "Jesus" in the crescent "tomb". Bake. And guess what! The tomb is empty. JESUS IS ALIVE! you can catch a tutorial up in my stories👆. . ..... ❤Have you made these yet? They seem to be pretty trendy. This was our first time and it was a blast.
