Today I have Beth from Days with Grey on The Reading Project podcast. I have been following Beth on social media for quite some time and using her ideas with my own children. I absolutely love what she is doing. She's a mom of three boys and a former teacher with a master's in teaching reading. She has been featured in Parents magazine, Good Housekeeping and People Magazine just to name a few! She has a passion for hands on learning and wants to help inspire play in families every day. Her breakfast invitations are simple games that inspire creativity and independent play, and give moms and dads back their mornings. Since I'm a huge fan of learning through play, I'm really excited she's going to share with us today!

Today I have an award winning authoress Sarah Woodard with me. She was born in a small town in Massachusetts and growing up, she was always the different one, the one off doing her own thing. She felt compelled to do something big with her life from an early age. Eventually, she discovered her purpose to create a world in which all beings are respected and honored. Through her words, Sarah encourages connection to self, soul spirit and the environment. Her writing gives a voice to those that don’t have one - nature, plants, animals, minorities, etc.

I have a really fun episode for you today. I actually have my husband stand with me, and we're going to talk about storytelling. Sam has practiced improvisational storytelling since he was a teenager. First through playing Dungeons and Dragons and then later storytelling with our children. I've personally witnessed his ability to make up stories spontaneously that are both engaging and enriching to our children. I know some parents are intimidated by storytelling. So I'm really excited for this episode, and I hope we'll be able to give you some tips to make it easier.

I mentioned a free gift in the episode! Sam and I created a simple, easy to follow storytelling starter guide! You can get it here.

Julie shares about her journey as a homeschooling mom and what that's been like for her to take ownership as their teacher and educator!
