Today Frozen II premiered in theaters. If your toddlers are as obsessed as mine are, you already knew this. And today we had a little party, because this was important to Vale. She was so excited, and being a little extra is sometimes the best way to show our littles that we see them, and we care about the things they care about. Today I took advice from @rachelschelb and invited others to celebrate with us. Sometimes it's the silly things that need celebrating, but how much sweeter when others come to celebrate with us. To everyone that came out to play today, thank you. In the words of Vale "estaba un buen dia." You can catch the rest of our shenanigans up in my stories👆. . .... ❤Will you be heading to see Frozen 2 this next week? . . . . #frozen2 #babydevotions #lovewellonpurpose #partytime #toddlerparty #premiereparty #unaadventuracongelada #snowballs #cookies #snacks #faithandfamily #christianmom #raisinglittles

Can you believe that Thanksgiving is only a week away? As we prepare for a day of family and food, we have also been preparing our hearts with gratitude using the "I Am Thankful" study. As we learn about the times Jesus "gave thanks," we discover the power of thanksgiving, and simple ways we can practice gratitude in our own lives. Grab your copy of this bilingual study by signing-up for the Baby Devotions e-mail list. You'll receive the study, plus updates on Purposeful Playdates, and seasonal tips and resources to grow your little one's faith. Link in bio.

A little known fact about me, is before I had littles I used to love to play with chalk pastels. I wouldn't say my "art" was any good 😂 but there is something so soothing about rubbing a piece of chalk across a sheet of paper, and smearing it with your fingers. Since Vale was born, I've kinda given up on this hobby. However, after scrolling through photos of Norway's northern lights I dug out my old pastels out of the closet, dusted them off, and decided to make some new memories. . The girls and I spent an afternoon drawing, smudging, and drawing again until our "Northern lights" looked just right. Then I took Vale's suggestions, and drew some simple landscapes. . ..... What joys have you neglected in motherhood? Could it be time to dust of your own box of pastels? . . . #worldlovewednesday #motherhoodonpurpose #christianparenting #babydevos #toddlerdevotion #godlovestheworld #toddlerart #northernlights #culturethroughplay

Hot dish. This humble meat pie seems to be a staple of midwest life. It's simple, not too fancy. It's one of those meals you throw together quick on a weeknight, but probably would never serve to a guest, am I right? I grew up with this. It doesn't feel special to me. But you know who has never had hot dish? My neighbors! They had moved to the U.S. only a few years ago and were brave enough to ask me what Americans actually eat. So clearly, I had to whip up this Minnesota classic. . .... We all have something that is like hot dish in our lives. Not too special. Maybe a little boring to us. But what if we took that to the Father and asked how he could use it? What blessings may multiply? As the little boy offered Jesus his simple lunch of bread and fish, may we offer up our humble gifts with thanksgiving, and let's see what happens. . ..... ❤Now, what do you call this meal👆 Tatertot Hotdish or Casserole?

December is right around the corner. And December means CHRISTMAS! I love the Latin American Christmas traditions, because they are largely centered around celebrating Christ's birth. Posadas, pastorelas, Dia de los Reyes...all reminders of why we celebrate the season. . .... ❤On the blog this week you will find some of my favorite Spanish Christmas resources for preschoolers. Build your child's faith while connecting them with their heritage. . ..... 🎄And in the comments let me know: do you put up Christmas decorations the day after Thanksgiving or December First...or are they already up? You know my answer🙈

"Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts." Colossians 3:15. . .... That is my prayer for us this weekend: may we know peace, may we dwell in peace. Take a deep breath, Mama. There is grace for this season. Don't forget to rest. . ..... You can find these cute Fruit of the Spirit cards in the @saintsandcharley etsy shop👇. These are a great tool for scripture memorization while learning about the fruit of the spirit. I'll be sharing more about them up in my insta stories.
