Review: Adventuring Together by Greta Eskridge
While I’m a fan of books that have practical real-life takeaways, few of those books manage to infuse joy into the practicality. Greta has accomplished this. Definitely a 5/5 read.
Review: Tom Brown’s Field Guide: Nature & Survival for Children
In an online homeschool group years ago, this book and the complementing book series were recommended. I noted them, placed them on a list of future homeschool reads. This spring, I found that list and started looking to which books would be good resources to glean from for this upcoming school year.
I’ve held off for months on writing this review and almost skipped writing it altogether-mainly because I needed to digest it a bit more. Quite a bit of the material was familiar territory to us from our homesteading years. The first half of the book would have been a fabulous reference all those years ago(like, you know, if I’d purchased it when I originally put it on our list?).

The year was 2012 and Ann Voskamp said I needed to walk five minutes of fresh oxygen into my cells each day(full disclosure: it was her blog post that told me-those daily blog posts coming to my phone were a lifeline). I’d been breathing through a cracked open window for two weeks in tiny snippets by that point and the idea of fresh air felt like a heap of timid amazing.
