We look at people who are doing these grandiose adventures and they're whitewater rafting or they're like

climbing

glaciers and in Iceland and you're like okay, I can't even hardly take my kids to target without

losing my mind. Exactly. That's the biggest adventure we're doing right now. We walked to the

mailbox and it was a disaster. So I think that it's really important to not compare ourselves and

and say oh if it's not something big if it's not this you know incredible life changing moment

or trip then it doesn't count. You're listening to the Read-A-Loud Revival podcast. I'm your host

Welcome to episode 158. For today's show I invited my friend Greta Eskridge onto the show because

she's got a brand new book that just hit shelves today. It's called Adventuring Together,

How to Create Connections and Make Lasting Memories with Your Kids. Now at Read-A-Loud Revival we

are all about connecting with our kids. We're also all about Greta Eskridge because we love her.

So I was delighted that she was up for coming back on the show to talk with me. She's been on the

show twice before. Once to talk about how children's literature inspires her to be a better parent

that was episode 42. Then we had her back again for an episode on inspiring a love of nature through

books. That was episode 62 and today she's going to inspire us all to adventure with our kids.
