I recently finished reading Adventuring Together by fellow homeschooler Greta Eskridge. I felt so encouraged by her writing. Since I am focusing on being mindful in the present tense, I especially appreciated Greta’s comment: “One of my favorite things about going on an adventure with my kids is that we’re not walking through the day on autopilot.” I agree with her; being on an adventure helps me step out of the mundane and improves my awareness of myself and my children.
