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.

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more." -Melody Beattie . What are you thankful for today, friend? What are the mundane things that could be considered blessings? Who can you share your blessings with? When we invite others into our lives, open our home for a playdate, or even share a pan of box mac n' cheese, we are physically giving thanks. We are showing our littles that we have more than enough, and we are grateful. This simple action we let our littles see, says so much more than our words ever could. . My challenge today: Who's that mom acquaintance you've been meaning to invite over? Give them a call (or text) and set up a play date. It could be 3 weeks from now, or even into January 😱. But take the step to invite them in.

It's #worldlovewednesday and through the month of November we are learning about and praying for Norway! One of the things I love most about Norway is its rich folklore. Trolls, the Nisse, and magic, I cannot tell you how much I have loved reading some of these stories. We were able to find a couple of picture books illustrating Norwegian folktales at our local library (swipe to see). And with Christmas around the corner, I finally invested in a Nisse to put on our shelf! On the blog I am sharing about the books and a fun podcast we've found for learning about Norwegian folktales, as well as some other fun ways to explore Norwegian culture with preschoolers. Link in bio! . . ❤Has anyone else ventured to the library recently? What library books are your kids enjoying right now?

Hey Friends! Go check out the Latina Mom Legacy Podcast! It was such a joy talking about faith and bilingualism with Janny @milegasi. You can listen at the link in bioor wherever you listen to podcasts❤ Also check out her show notes for a FREEBIE!
