Today I give a recap on our trip to Joshua Tree for my son's 6th birthday and how I had to go back and forth twice to coach my daughter's soccer team. Definitely not the trip I had planned but still got in a decent amount of hiking and scrambling.

Today I discuss my transition to minimalist shoes a couple years ago. I go over how I made the transition and what I like and don't like about minimalist shoes.

On today's episode I talk about yesterday's pack hike and a few books I have been using to plan our next trip to Joshua Tree.

Today I discuss my concerns with using literary tropes that can be problematic and having a conversation about why they are used.

I feel like I have hit a big milestone in getting my daughter into the Harry Potter series.

Today I talk about my son waking up in the middle of the night being scared and how I hope to address this issue.
