Adding Adventure to Your Homeschool with Greta Eskridge [Episode 82]
The sisters are joined this week by one of their favorite adventurers, Greta Eskridge!
Cait, Kara and Greta talk adventure, a bit about the myth of balance, and Greta’s homeschool challenges as an extrovert and Enneagram 7.
She also shares a peek inside her local adventure club, and why she decided years ago to make weekly outdoor excursions a priority in her homeschool.
Plus, you know that Greta has a book on the way, right?! #happydance
