Mommy & Me Micro-Moments is a collection of 35 quick, interactive devotionals designed for busy moms to share with their children. Each devotional takes just about five minutes, offering a chance to bond while reflecting on faith, love, and gratitude. The book is divided into four themes: Silly Moments, Crayon Moments, Ask Me Moments, and Tender Moments, with simple activities that include prayers, Bible verses, and fun exercises aimed at fostering deeper connections between mother and child.
What I loved most about this book is how accessible it is. Kemper knows that moms have packed schedules, and I could tell she really gets what it�s like to try and carve out quality time with kids amid the daily chaos. The activities, like "1, 2, 3 Guess With Me," where you make goofy guesses with your child (who will likely burst out laughing when you throw in unexpected words like "monkey"), are easy to jump into. It�s not the kind of devotional that feels intimidating or too serious, which makes it approachable even on days when you�re feeling frazzled.
Another thing that stood out to me was how the book balances fun with faith. The "Crayon Moments" activities, like drawing outlines of your hands together and talking about how God holds us in His, felt really meaningful. One of my favorites was "In the Palm of My Hand," where I traced my hand and my child�s hand, symbolizing how much they grow and how God�s love grows with them. It�s the kind of activity that you can look back on, and it gives you a tangible memory to keep. Kemper makes sure that while you�re having fun, you�re also sneaking in those sweet spiritual lessons.
I have to mention the prayers for moms tucked at the end of each dayââ?¬â?¢s devotional. These little silent prayers felt like a personal lifeline. In ââ?¬Å"Silent Prayer of Gratitude,ââ?¬Â? for instance, the honesty about the frustrations of parenting hit home. She reminds us that even those little moments of chaos are seen by God, and that perspective was a relief on the tough days.
Mommy & Me Micro-Moments is perfect for moms who want to grow closer to their kids and their faith without needing an hour or two each day. If you�re a mom with young children and you�re looking for a light, fun way to connect with your child while sprinkling in some spirituality, this book is a gem.
