WOW. This devotional exceeded my expectations and blew me away. I feel like it's both a devotional and a baby memory book all wrapped into one. I so wish I had this when my firstborn was a baby.

This devotional is SO encouraging and it SO different than other motherhood devos out there. This actually starts at their 1st birthday as they are growing from baby to official toddler. It goes week-by-week through the second year of their life. Each month has a specific theme that ties in with your toddler's development, as well as your own as a mother. It all brings it back to Scripture and your own spiritual growth as your child grows. It truly helps you to slow down and savor each moment for what it really is.

At the end of each week, there are two prompts to fill out: a memory from that week and also a question that is geared toward your spiritual growth. This is what makes it so special! You get to see your growth each week along with your child. Aaah, I truly wish I had this when I was a new mom.

This is now what I'll be gifting moms at their child's 1st birthday party. What a truly wonderful, life-giving devotional/memory book to treasure. Order it for any new moms you know! This is the PERFECT gift for them.

Walking in Wonder is the 3rd book in the series covering the toddler years. It's a lovely hardcover that you will want to read and gift to others. Grow closer to God as your toddler grows. This is not only a devotional for encouragement, but also has a space to write your memories to share later on with your child.

As I read through the devotional, I loved how everything is laid out in an easy to read style. The author shares her experiences and is very relatable. It will help you in your walk with God but also in understanding your child's development.

I wish I had the series when I was a young mother and highly recommend it. Be sure and check out the other two books in the series: Waiting in Wonder: Growing in Faith While You're Expecting and Watching in Wonder: Growing in Faith During Your Baby's First Year.

I received a complimentary copy from the author; a positive review is not required. All opinions are my own.

Now you are even busier with an active toddler as they are exploring their world. This devotion starts on their first birthday. The devotion has weekly “Three Scripture-based devotions that focus on spiritual and parenting themes. You have a monthly “Memories and Milestones” to document your toddler’s growth. You can also write down stories and sweet memories in the journal. It’s filled with tips to help your growing toddler and their development. I like that this is not overwhelming as a busy mom.

I am an avid reader of Devotionals and enjoy them for all phases of life. Walking in Wonder: A Devotional Journal for Moms of Toddlers by Catherine Claire Larson is the latest Devotional book that I have read.

WOW, this Devotional is amazing and well writen. This is more than a Devotional Book, it is also a Memory Book. Memory Books are not so popular anymore, due to technology. I personally prefer a written book version as they are easier to access and keep for long. A Mom needs encouragement through all stages of Motherhood, the young years are truly important time for encouragement for Moms. Walking in Wonder is for the important Toddler Years. I really LOVE the look and layout of this Book. The Devotional begins when your child turns 1 year old. Each Devotional section covers a week at time and has Scripture for encouragement, a place to record memories from that week and write down important happenings. I truly wish I had this book when my Boys were little ones!

I STRONGLY recommend this for Moms of Toddlers. It reminds them even through the busy time of life, it is good to be in the Word and receive God's grace and encouragement! GREAT BOOK!
